With 339,645 confirmed cases around the globe, 35,224 of which reside in the US, the coronavirus outbreak is now in full swing. As entire nations are on lockdown, staying strong may be easier said than done.
But humans are a bunch of tough nuts to crack. To show you just how responsible, conscious, and united we all can be, Bored Panda has compiled a list of ideas designed to fight the virus. From rearranging exhibition displays so everyone can see them from the outside, to inventing a DIY ventilator that saves not just one but multiple lives at the same time, nothing’s impossible when it comes to life in crisis.

Events of a scale like coronavirus are known to reshape societies in fundamental ways. This is what happened during 9/11, the 2008 financial crisis, or the 1918 flu pandemic.
Among many possible shifts, the current crisis could mark the end of hyper-individualism and resurrect our lost sense of community. Eric Klinenberg, a director of the Institute for Public Knowledge at NYU, believes that after the storm calms down, “we will be better able to see how our fates are linked.”
Most importantly, “in the long run, it could help us rediscover the better version of ourselves,” explained the professor.

The current crisis has also resurrected long-gone scientific concepts like pandemics, germ theory, and exponential growth. As a result, scientific truth is gaining more and more trust from people every day. Sonja Trauss, the executive director of YIMBY Law, believes that public respect for expertise will be restored. “Unlike with tobacco use or climate change, science doubters will be able to see the impacts of the coronavirus immediately,” she stated.
