Being quarantined and practicing social distancing means the majority of us have spent more time at home scrolling on our social feeds. And, even though we have been asked to keep six feet of distance between one another, the act of distancing doesn’t mean we can’t utilize the digital space to become closer within our community.

Let’s be real, life feels a little strange right now due to the coronavirus pandemic. Now, before you say “Oh no, not the ‘C’ word…” here are three new “C” words to give a double-tap to: curate, create and community.

So to spread the virus of community rather than corona, here are 10 daily highlights of how social media users are using this time of distancing as a way to spread creativity, curate some laughs and build a stronger community.
