The coronavirus or Covid-19 has been creating a wide spread of panic as people are now working at home and practicing social distancing but social media always finds a way to look at the bright side of things. Social media has taken the liberty of posting different pictures of how they manage to find a way to keep themselves entertained while working at home!
Here are a few favorites:
Can we do a WFH workspace setup thread, unglamorous edition?
My partner and I are both working from our studio apartment. My setup is a chair in front of the front door and my desk is our clothes hamper. pic.twitter.com/5rVaqgkjjw — Jules Forrest (@julesforrest) March 13, 2020
Most people tend to panic in times of tragedy but it seems like Twitter always has a way of starting hilarious trends regarding the current situation at hand. At least now when people are working from home, instead of being too sad about the current situation, they can always try to find some wacky way to work and share it on Twitter as well!

The coronavirus battle is both physical and through social media
People cannot deny that although the numbers are growing and that the danger of this virus is very real, the battle against the coronavirus is a battle against panic! Social media has been responsible for instigating quite the amount of panic which is why it is very necessary to stop spreading fake news!
Fact checking is important
People are spreading news here and there without even knowing if the source of their information is valid or not. Google has just recently stepped in to help counter fake news being spread about the coronavirus or Covid-19 which should just be the beginning for other platforms as well to extend their efforts in fighting the coronavirus.
Twitter is now creating a trend to help people enjoy their stay at home
For most people who were finally allowed to work at home, setting up their work space was challenging and frustrating but Twitter saw it as an opportunity to poke fun of the situation and showcase some really creative ideas as to how to survive the coronavirus or Covid-19 by working at home! This ongoing trend is seeing some pretty hilarious posts as people showcase their creativity when it comes to setting up their own workplace.
So, us Unity folks are officially in WFH mode for the next few weeks, which has meant some of our employees have had to get creative with their 'office space'

Some people even began to start using things they have never used before
There were quite a few posts which involved people using parts of furniture and other things which have never been used before creating an interesting and funny environment for the person to work on. It is all just a matter of creativity to create an interesting workplace and these people from twitter seem to have loads of it!
I'm so thankful we bought this liquor cabinet 2 months ago - now serving as a critical standing desk as I work from home. pic.twitter.com/fPWbAkdDYB — Brooklyn Tennessean (@patrickgipson) March 13, 2020
