On Newsy.com it reported that due to social distancing/COVID for there first time in 113 years there will not be the standard celebration in Times Square in New York.

Instead, the area will be blocked off and closed to the public and there will be a live ball drop and celebrity performances and there is an official virtual Times Square so you can visit virtually.

The article indicates:

"Justis Kao, chief communications officer at Loop: "You'll see other people running around. You can wave to them. There's a lot of sponsors involved, so there's a lot of digital billboards, built-in teleportation into the different lounges. … We were fortunate enough to be able to partner with a great company, Ultimate Gamer and Jamestown Productions — which puts on, traditionally, the ball drop — and be part of the first virtual experience."

As many parents have opted to school their children from home for the time being due to COVID-19, many parents and students have had to come up with creative options, such as this drum on a treadmill to keep in practice for marching band.

A clever teacher decorated the children's desk to look like vehicles so the dividers/shields would look fun instead of imposing. 

A first grade teacher didn't want her classroom to look scary to children because of the dividers so she did this... from r/MadeMeSmile

#LOCKDOWN 2020 - VACATION PIC

COVID-19 may have delayed or canceled your vacation plans to spend a day on the beach.  

That doesn't mean you can fake one in your own backyard by with a  kiddie pool with some sand and water, watch some relaxing beach videos on Youtube and fake a beach photo with two hot dogs.

Due to most schools being closed after mid-March due to COVID-19, many seniors that would have graduated this year did not get a ceremony.
