The coronavirus health crisis has most Americans longing for a time before facemasks were the norm and self-isolation was the status quo -- and nowhere is that more evident than on social media.
In the midst of the pandemic, people are turning to Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to share news, updates and funny memes, while others are just hoping to find some type of distraction. But one of the brighter trends to emerge from all this just might be the #FirstPhotoChallenge.
HOW TO MAINTAIN A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP IN SELF-ISOLATION
