So yes, this is about Coronavirus but it's alllllll about avoiding it so I'm not putting this in the special topic, unless anybody/MNHQ objects?

My anxiety is through the roof and it's honestly impacting me pretty badly so I'm trying to find websites and ways to distract myself online. I've had to sever my BBC news obsession and I've hidden 'the' topic on here. Today, I've been reading up about the structure of the universe (fascinating!) and I've looked at funny animal pictures on BoredPanda. I'm an absolute news hound so I'm missing my regular distractions.

What else can we do online that enables us to be 'lalalala' about the whole thing?l

Before anyone suggests doing other things... I do read books too, and I take my dog for loads of walks etc. But I'm thinking specifically of those vacant moments when you just want to stare at your tablet for 20 minutes.

The Ted-Ed channel on Youtube has hundreds of short(approximately five minutes) beautifully animated videos explaining various topics on chemistry, the human body, history, inventions etc.
