Naturally, family and friends who live distantly from each other are uncertain about the next few weeks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re feeling your social needs dwindle like a depleting Sims bar, fear not. There are so many ways you can keep in touch, stay social and be productive!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below are just some of many ways people are staying social and taking steps to counter feelings of loneliness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Take online classes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.unsplash.com\/photo-1484807352052-23338990c6c6?ixlib=rb-1.2.1&amp;ixid=eyJhcHBfaWQiOjEyMDd9&amp;auto=format&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=1000&amp;q=80\" alt=\"grayscale photo of person using MacBook\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether that be in a particular sport, language, craft or some other skill &#8211; find an activity you\u2019re keen on pursuing and take a live class! Some PTs are even running classes online since gyms have shut. Places like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegymgroup.com\/\">The Gym Group<\/a> are running free ones with your membership! So it\u2019s worth finding out if your local gym or PTs can run some online classes for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Popular sites for online classes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.udemy.com\/\">Udemy<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skillshare.com\/browse\">Skillshare<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.open.edu\/openlearn\/free-courses\">OpenLearn<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.codecademy.com\/\">Codecademy<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Video calls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The most obvious one that springs to mind is making regular video calls with your loved ones. Use video calls to host dinner parties, have a Netflix party, or simply have a rant about the whole situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst messaging each other is all fine and dandy, you\u2019d be surprised how a family face smiling and waving on camera can make the world of a difference. Use apps like WhatsApp, Skype or Zoom for smooth-running video chats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learn a new language<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.unsplash.com\/photo-1519734004356-f588de029302?ixlib=rb-1.2.1&amp;ixid=eyJhcHBfaWQiOjEyMDd9&amp;auto=format&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=1000&amp;q=80\" alt=\"person holding Fluent City book\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally want to crack on with those language lessons? Now is the time to do so! With more time at your disposal, why not invest in some online live classes or digital material to help you navigate a new language?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One part of learning a language is, you\u2019ve guessed it, talking! Talking to someone who knows the language, via message or calls. So once you feel comfortable doing so &#8211; why not practice your newfound knowledge with someone else?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some fantastic sites and apps to help you learn a new language:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.italki.com\/\">iTalki<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.duolingo.com\/\">Duolingo<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/uk.babbel.com\/\">Babbel<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.memrise.com\/\">Memrise<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellotalk.com\/\">HelloTalk<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get cultural with virtual museum tours<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting your art gallery or museum fix isn\u2019t impossible!

F\u00c3\u00b6rst ut i serien \u00c3\u00a4r Edvard Munchs m\u00c3\u00a5lning \u00e2\u20ac\u009dDen sjuka flickan\u00e2\u20ac\u009d fr\u00c3\u00a5n 1896. Skildringar av sjukdom och d\u00c3\u00b6d har en stark tradition i konsthistorien. Verket knyter an till Edvard Munchs s\u00c3\u00a5 kallade \u00e2\u20ac\u009dLivsfris\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, en serie m\u00c3\u00a5lningar om livets faser, inte minst sjukdom, \u00c3\u00a5ngest och d\u00c3\u00b6d. Liksom verken ur \u00e2\u20ac\u009dLivsfris\u00e2\u20ac\u009d har det h\u00c3\u00a4r motivet en bakgrund i konstn\u00c3\u00a4rens eget liv. Munchs syster Sofie dog i tuberkulos vid femton \u00c3\u00a5rs \u00c3\u00a5lder. I m\u00c3\u00a5lningens yta har Munch rispat och skrapat i f\u00c3\u00a4rgen, kanske f\u00c3\u00b6r att skapa en effekt, eller f\u00c3\u00b6r att f\u00c3\u00b6rmedla sina egna starka k\u00c3\u00a4nslor inf\u00c3\u00b6r motivet med systern. S\u00c3\u00a5dana h\u00c3\u00a4r bilder kan kopplas till en socialrealistisk str\u00c3\u00a4van, att man ville visa \u00c3\u00a4ven det sv\u00c3\u00a5ra i livet. M\u00c3\u00a5nga andra konstn\u00c3\u00a4rer under den h\u00c3\u00a4r tiden m\u00c3\u00a5lade bilder av sjuka v\u00c3\u00a4ldigt verklighetstroget. Munch d\u00c3\u00a4remot l\u00c3\u00b6ste upp motivet till en vibrerande vision d\u00c3\u00a4r k\u00c3\u00a4nslorna \u00c3\u00a4r viktigare \u00c3\u00a4n att verket exakt avbildar verkligheten.
