As the pandemic, COVID-19, continues to spread, causing deaths, panic, toilet paper hoarding, and cabin fever, Netflix and Google have found a way to make social distancing slightly more bearable!
Gyms, bars, restaurants, and shopping centers are shutting down, sporting leagues are suspending their seasons, travel bans are being implemented, and festivals and concerts are being postponed.
Furthermore, some countries, including Canada and the United States, have closed their borders to all non-essential travel.
So far, the death toll has reached over 8000, globally.
And while this is posing a huge inconvenience for most people, for those trying to find the silver lining, it has become a time to stay indoors, reconnect with hobbies, clean, workout, relax, or catch up on their favorite TV shows.
Enter: Netflix Party.
There's now a Google Chrome extension that allows you to sync movies and TV shows with your friends and watch at the same time.
So, not only can you watch shows and movies with your friends from afar in unison, you can also easily chat with them about whatever you're watching.
TBH, screen-sharing movies and TV shows and group chats, in combination with social media and FaceTime is hardly going to feel like I'm alone.
Netflix fans have been raving about it on Twitter!
A total game changer!
We officially have everything we need to hunker down and never go outside ever again.
You can still technically cozy-up on the couch, drink wine, eat snacks, and watch a movie with your boo.
There's a light at the end of the tunnel!
That's the dream if you ask me!
Is this going to change the quarantine game?
