Severely affected by the coronavirus, Spain is slowly coming back to life, and on Saturday the authorities presented a plan to relax the restrictive measures.  Among the new changes is the possibility for the little ones to go out to play, between 9.00-21.00, near the house. Sunday, April 26, was the first day of "escape" for children and teenagers.



But the restrictions are many.  Children are not allowed to play with neighbours or move more than a kilometre away or go out without an adult.  The duration is limited to one hour, between 9-21.00, and the parks remain closed.



The third country most affected by the pandemic that started in China at the end of 2019, Spain (23,190 deaths and 223,759 cases) has adopted one of the strictest isolation regimes in the world.  In terms of mortality, it is preceded by the United States (over 53,000 deaths) and Italy (26,384), and is followed by France (22,614) and the United Kingdom (20,319).

how-to-distract-a-child-from-a-smartphone-and-tv-during-quarantine

5 ideas that only need paper, pencils and pens. Children during quarantine are easily getting boring. That’s why, Bemorepanda decided to collect the best games for children and parents to play during quarantine.


 1. Consequences

 A fun and simple game in which you need to create stories.  Each person takes a piece of paper, writes one adjective on top.  Then he folds the paper to close the word, and transfers it to another player in a circle.  On a new sheet you need to write a name.  Then the actions are repeated.


 The order further should be as follows:


 another adjective;

 one more name;

 scene;

 what the characters do;

 what the first said to the second;

 what the second answered;

 what happened after;

 what people thought.

 Words can change, for example, instead of the names of people, you can write the names of animals.  You can also add additional moves, for example, indicate what was worn on the person.  Try to come up with funnier options to make the story as fun as possible.


2. Puppet theater

 To make dolls yourself, cut out the drawn figures or pictures from magazines and glue a thin (3-4 cm) strip of paper to their back.  Glue or staple the ends of the strip.  Now, improvised dolls can be put on your finger and play with them any funny scenes.  And if you have a printer, dolls can be printed.


 You can also put a real theatrical performance at home.  To do this, you need to come up with a fun story, draw or print masks of heroes (for example, fairy-tale characters or animals), put them on your faces and get used to the role.

 3. Dots and squares

 Ideally, a piece of paper is needed for the game.  Draw a wide square - this is a playing field.  Take two multi-colored felt-tip pens or a pencil.  The first player draws a line two cages in length anywhere inside the field.  Then the other player must do the same.


 If there is no sheet in the cage at hand, use the usual one.  Draw a playing field, and inside at the same distance - about 1 cm - place the dots.  The move will be the connection of two points with a horizontal or vertical line.


 Your task is to paint over all or almost all of the edges of the cell with your own color: 3 or 4 edges - your cell, if 2 by 2 - it goes to the player who set the final line.  Inside the filled square, write the letter of your name.  Whose squares will be more, he won.

 4. Crossword

  Crossword puzzles can be found on the Internet or compiled by yourself.  To make words easier, choose a topic, such as colors, space, or animals.  You can use puzzles as tasks.


 To help your child learn math, you can use examples instead of verbal questions.  But the child will still need to enter answers in the crossword puzzle in words.  For example, 4 + 4 =?  Answer: eight.


 5. Crocodile on paper

 The principle is the same as in the classic game: one participant explains to others the hidden word.  Only it needs to be drawn, not gestured.


 If you play together or three, everyone comes up with his own words.  If you are four or more, guess each other's words one by one: who guesses, he draws as follows.

what-people-are-doing-during-quarantine-a-collection-of-funny-answers-for-jimmy-fallon-question

When staying in quarantine, people start creating funny things. Some people invent funny games, other creative occupations. While spending the whole day at home, let’s see how others are spending their time, maybe we find something good for us.


A person in lockdown starts seeing his house as a big and luxurious castle, or a battlefield, even that floor is lava. Jimmy Fallon was wandering where the human creation can get, and started a challenge with the hashtag #ImSoBored. 

The comedian asked people to tell him funny things they have done to pass the time in quarantine. Yes, boredom is the path to creationism, new ideas and funny actions.


James Thomas Fallon is an American comedian, actor, television host, writer, and producer. He is known for his work in television as a cast member on Saturday Night Live and as the host of late-night talk show The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and before that Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

The Tonight Show is the third longest running show on NBC,and due to coronavirus it got a quarantine rendition. Since Fallon’s show, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and other late-night shows that spread good mood and fun have suspended production due to the pandemic, the Fallon found a good solution. Jimmy created the "At Home Edition” episode which are coming out live from Fallon’s home.

7-industries-that-began-to-grow-rapidly-during-the-pandemic

Bemorepanda found out what to expect after lifting the restrictions. During quarantine we found out industries that are supposed to grow up rapidly during quarantine. We started using service that maybe where unnecessary for us before the pandemic. Here are the industries that are going to have a great success after the quarantine ends.


1. Grocery retail

 No matter what happens, people will be hungry.  In a stressful situation, we buy even more products.  The process of absorption of food calms, and stocks on the shelves alleviate anxiety: suddenly that, and in the house there is buckwheat and potatoes.


2. Courier services

 Grocery stores were allowed not to close; other shopping facilities were less fortunate.  They, as well as public catering establishments, are saved by courier services that take delivery on themselves.  If you leave the house (exclusively on business, of course), you can see how many people in the street are in branded clothes.  They all carry something to someone.  So the increase in revenue and the staff of courier services is a natural consequence of quarantine measures.

3. Online education

 Learning through the Internet is a trend of recent years.  It’s convenient when you don’t need to go to an English tutor through the whole city or you can get a profession sitting on your own couch.  The web has many courses on any subject - from painting to physics.  The pandemic added to the number of online students those who decided to learn something from boredom or who risk losing their profession in a crisis.


4. IT area

 Prior to the advent of coronavirus, this industry did not complain about stagnation, but the pandemic gave it new growth points.  One of them is tools for business.  Due to restrictive measures, conservative spheres, which slowly and reluctantly went online, were forced to accelerate.  Someone met a pandemic with outdated, barely working sites, while someone didn’t have a debug channel at all.  All this required immediate intervention.  This is where IT services came in handy.

5. Home fitness products

 The pandemic dispersed into the apartments and lovers of fitness equipment, and runners, and people involved in horizontal bars.  All of them had to decide the issue of training at home.  Therefore, the demand for compact exercise machines, elastic bands and expanders, weights and dumbbells has grown.

 Interest in online training has increased.  If for fitness centers this is an attempt to upgrade the brand and save at least some kind of income, then for those who initially relied on it, this is a great opportunity for growth.


6. Juridic services

 The demand for legal assistance does not come from a good life.  Unfortunately, the pandemic creates all the conditions to throw people’s problems.  We have to solve issues related to the closure of the business, job cuts, job loss, the use of credit and other banking products.


7. Intimate goods

 On the one hand, the self-isolation regime closed access to new acquaintances and non-binding sex, and even loners would like to be released in a stressful situation.  On the other hand, the couples were locked together.

design-horrors-25-houses-you-definitely-wouldnt-live-in

Not the design we wanted, but the design we deserved.


Another viral thread appeared on Twitter. It began with the post of Sarah Schauer, who asked readers to share the worst photographs of design or architecture that they have. Here is the original tweet:

Social network users readily uncovered their stocks of photos. We collected the most dubious architectural and interior solutions.

This is not a house, but a nightmare.

I don’t know about the worst, I would put 3/5.

I deeply hate this house.

And here is my minute of glory!

I love the toilet slide.

This is the restroom in the house I was planning to buy. The whole floor was like that.

I don’t know if this house can be called artsy or crazy. Depends on which room to look at. Yes, these are all rooms of the same house. And he can be yours for 300,000 dollars!

I lived here, and I had to lean on the bathtub to brush my teeth. And the toilet was impossible to use with the door closed.

- I have more!

- For the first time I feel such a threat from the toilet.

A kitchen sink in a house that I rented for 2 years.

I think we have a winner in discomfort! And yes, I am in the photo. I was waiting for the opportunity to share this masterpiece of architectural design. Enjoy it.

The problem is solved.

The concept of an "open bathroom" in action.

Doors to the bedroom, bathroom and wardrobe.

They made their choice, and this is not the best choice.

The house that I watched. The room itself is round, and for some reason electricity has been brought to the platform.

I challenge you to find something worse.

Not really a house, but could not help but share this masterpiece with you:

thats-what-freedom-looks-like-euphoria-in-wuhan-after-quarantine

Their relatives, friends, friends of their friends died.  In all families there is a tragic story: death, illness, poverty, bankruptcy.  After 11 weeks of severe quarantine, the "lock" was opened and Wuhan City, the "heart" of the pandemic that has plagued the world is trying to come back to life.


The city with 11 million inhabitants begins to fall asleep after more than two and a half months, it was like a ghost.  The new coronavirus started right here from an animal and bird market and spread uncontrolled across the globe. Today (April 8), a few days after China had no local transmission case, and just a day after the historic "no death of Covid-19" restrictions were lifted.  The quarantine imposed on January 23 ended at midnight Tuesday through Wednesday, and passengers began storming buses and stations, some wearing full-length suits.

But the over 80,000 cases and 3,300 deaths remain behind and the hope that one day the world will look exactly like before the coronavirus.  For now, it's just hope, because there's a long way to go.


Although some restrictions have been lifted by the authorities, many control measures remain in place.  The Chinese were warned not to travel unless absolutely necessary. Those who go to Beijing go through two rounds of tests, and in other provinces, those who come to Wuhan have to be quarantined for two weeks, the New York Times writes.


In addition, everyone is required to use a tracking application on their phone or tablet and to prove that they were not sick or did not come into contact with sick people of COVID-19.  The Chinese system records every place where people make payments and the network of hundreds of millions of surveillance video cameras is famous.
