There is so much kindness out there from everyone despite the uncertainty. Here are some things I've come across that you may enjoy while distancing from others that may help you feel connected or entertained.
Poetry

Pascal Vine has shared a long playlist of excellent live poetry. Find it here.
Outspoken Press have made their excellent poetry book collection free until the end of 20th March- I recommend Joelle Taylor and Raymond Antrobus.
Stuart Buck has a free micro collection of poems called Fuck the Apocalypse.
Other stuff
