After more than a month away from most people, I am aching to see my friends. Zoom happy hours just aren't cutting it. Many others are in the same position, and wondering if they can visit with loved ones as long as they maintain social distancing and stay 6 feet apart. Here's what experts think about that.
We also answered some other burning coronavirus questions recently, including:
And we've got more information below on how to take care of yourself during this time (including a piece that really resonated with me on how to stop obsessing over weight during quarantine). Until next week, stay healthy and be kind to yourself.

Got a spare minute? Use it to change your life. Our "A Minute And Change" series will help you become happier, healthier and more productive by doing one thing a little differently.
This week's tip comes from Tammy Lewis Wilborn, board-certified licensed professional counselor-supervisor and owner of Wilborn Clinical Services in New Orleans. The advice is for how to be a better parent right now, but it certainly can apply to everyone.
The biggest advice I would give folks right now is establish healthy boundaries with the people you live with. Now more than ever it’s important to set boundaries around space and time. During this time of social distancing, our homes have now become multipurpose spaces that function as work, school, places of worship, the gym, etc., which can blur the lines between space and time. So, it’s important that clear boundaries be established around how and when space gets used but also who and when others have access to you. |

Are you stressing over the "Quarantine 15"? It's time to cut yourself some slack. Read this piece by reporter Christine Byrne on weight-related memes and the concern around weight gain during the pandemic. There's some excellent advice on how to let go of the fear and feel good (or, at the very least, neutral) in your body instead. |

The world is trying to cope with the coronavirus, from the serious to the mundane. We’re dealing with jamming full lives into one apartment or house, and trying to stay calm about a world full of an invisible virus. We’re trying to learn how to homeschool our kids, or to make bread for ourselves. It’s a whole new world, and HuffPost is launching a new illustrated series about how to live in it.
Each week, we’ll feature an artist offering their vision for how to handle the world as it is today. We hope they make you think, make you smile, or just offer something to do other than staring wistfully out the windows.
