COVID-19 feels like a movie - a horror film to be precise. But unfortunately, it's very much real life and we're in the middle of riding it out. But did you ever wonder how some of your favorite TV characters would react to being stuck in the quarantine nightmare? A bit of a throwback, but here's how I think the cast of Friends would react to the Coronavirus situation. Or at least this is how we're all feeling, as told by the Central Perk gang.
