Welcome to Stay Inside

This community is for people stuck inside -- because of COVID-19 or any other reason -- who could use some help keeping calm and carrying on.

Posting Guidelines:
1. This community is not for sharing COVID-19-specific data regarding health concerns. Please take that elsewhere.

2. Please keep your contributions positive in positive posts. The Commiseration Post is the place for negativity.

3. Remember, we're all stuck in this together. This is all IRL now.

4. Other rules subject to being added as needed.
