Love in a Time of Quarantine
To balance the grim headlines and late night worries about the future, Instagram users have come together to document instances of beauty and love during the COVID-19 crisis. There’s too many to mention, but here are some of the most touching.
A famous parody site helps a family in need.
While weddings go ahead without receptions.
Whole neighbourhoods in Vancouver applaud health care workers from balconies.
While others send classic gifts from afar.
Cuban doctors are crossing borders to help out in Italy.
While style icons like Grece Ghanem set the tone by showing you can look good while staying inside.
Companies work to help Canadians.
And others stay connected as they work from home.
Photographers show the beauty of isolation.
As well as the frustration.
Musicians like Alex Cuba share their joyful songs in creative ways online.
And some prepare to welcome new life into the world.
The days are moving more slowly as we wait, but there is love and silence in waiting. In waiting, appreciation grows, and people come together to lift spirits and help their fellow humans.
