Behold some stories of admirable folks using creativity and innovation to help fight the spread of the virus, or at least make our collective isolation a little more enjoyable. Raise a glass.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Life imitates art<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As it turns out, creativity doesn\u2019t die in captivity. In some places, thanks to the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, it\u2019s flourishing. The Getty <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/lifestyle\/museum-challenges-people-recreate-art-with-objects-at-home-181920032.html?ncid=twitter_yahoolifes_xhb43qbzpzw\">challenged its Twitter audience<\/a> to recreate scenes from famous works using only objects and people (or animals) from their homes. It encouraged participants to access the museum\u2019s online archives for inspiration. Quarantiners dove into their wardrobes, enlisted their children, volunteered their pets, and gave it their best shot. Here are some favorites:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We challenge you to recreate a work of art with objects (and people) in your home.<br><br>&#x1f947; Choose your favorite artwork<br>&#x1f948; Find three things lying around your house\u2800<br>&#x1f949; Recreate the artwork with those items<br><br>And share with us. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/9BNq35HY2V\">pic.twitter.com\/9BNq35HY2V<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Getty (@GettyMuseum) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GettyMuseum\/status\/1242845952974544896?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 25, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Madonna and child.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ZbnVeToUPE\">https:\/\/t.co\/ZbnVeToUPE<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7Vkl91CF6D\">pic.twitter.com\/7Vkl91CF6D<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Getty (@GettyMuseum) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GettyMuseum\/status\/1242948449072377856?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 25, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<h2>Cover up the COVID<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Feeling overloaded by virus-related headlines?

The object of the game is to get a household smart speaker, like an Alexa or Google Home, to say a given word from a card without any of the human players saying the word themselves. The first edition won\u2019t ship until June, but Hey Robot\u2019s creators jumped at the opportunity to give quarantined Americans a community game night without leaving home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They hastily created a <a href=\"https:\/\/playheyrobot.com\/\">Zoom-friendly version<\/a> of the game that allows players to participate from a virtual chat room. If you need a new Friday night activity, this one is worth trying out.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Unlimited comics and graphic novels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Eyes glazed over after another evening of Netflix-watching? Give the TV a rest. When was the last time you opened up a comic book? Amazon\u2019s digital service for comics and graphic novels, <a href=\"https:\/\/mashable.com\/shopping\/march-30-comixology-digital-comic-books-graphic-novels\/\">ComiXology Unlimited<\/a>, is offering a 60-day free trial for readers during the quarantine. It usually comes at a cost of $5.99 per month and includes over 25,000 different titles.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Here\u2019s to the bullies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No group of people feels more alone at this moment than sports fans. As we were just approaching the best sports time of the year\u2014March Madness under a week away, NHL and NBA seasons heating up, MLB opening day on the horizon\u2014the rug was ripped out from under our feet. The sports community needs something, anything, to feel whole again. So they bullied ESPN into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nba\/story\/_\/id\/28974799\/michael-jordan-series-espn-moved-april\">fast-tracking its 10-part 30 For 30 mega-series<\/a> on Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls. Instead of its planned June release, ESPN announced on Tuesday that the network would begin airing the documentary two months ahead of schedule, in mid-April. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Filled with over 500 hours of never-before-seen footage of the Bulls\u2019 1997-98 championship season, <em>The Last Dance<\/em> will feature interviews from over 100 people, from every prominent member of the organization to celebrities like Barack Obama and Justin Timberlake.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>TV time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Staying inside and watching TV just got a lot easier. For the month of April, HBO is dropping the subscription paywall on some of its most popular shows\u2014making nine full series, 10 documentaries, and 20 movies <a href=\"https:\/\/pressroom.warnermediagroup.com\/us\/media-release\/hbo-0\/stayhomeboxoffice\/hbo-encourages-viewers-stayhomeboxoffice-hundreds-hours-free-programming\">totally free<\/a>. That list includes smash hits like <em>The Sopranos<\/em>, <em>Veep<\/em>, <em>Succession<\/em>, <em>Silicon Valley<\/em>, and more. So now you really have no excuse to leave the house for the next month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"614\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ceros.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/04\/hbo-1024x614.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ceros.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/04\/hbo-1024x614.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ceros.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/04\/hbo-700x420.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.ceros.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/04\/hbo-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ceros.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/04\/hbo-1536x922.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ceros.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/04\/hbo-1200x720.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.ceros.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/04\/hbo.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"myclass\">In this edition of Heroes of the Quarantine, we highlight a board game you can play over Zoom, a fun Twitter contest, and welcome news for sports fans.<\/div>\n<p><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":102,"featured_media":7618,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v15.3 -
