We’re all in this together. No matter how many times we have heard it, does it really help? Our nerd community knows that it does. We have been creative in coming together with virtual gaming, Zoom hangouts, online events, and finding ways to stay sane during these past few months. 
Many are finding joy in playing games such as Animal Crossing, reading and creating comic books, and binging favorite TV shows like “Supernatural.” 15 seasons can keep a person busy for a while!
There have even been a couple of positive results of the quarantine at home. People are connecting friends and loved ones that they have not seen in years with our wireless devices. Mental health has become a priority and no other community is as supportive as the nerd collective. This family is and has been supporting each other far before the pandemic hit. Working from home has become the new normal and for some, this has actually been helpful.
Nerd Alert News asked our readers how they have kept it together since March and here is what our fellow nerds said:
