Did y'all see the @HoustonChron's 24 special section - "Coping with #Coronavirus" in today's paper?

It is *packed* with information from a slew of writers. Everything from how to make your own hand santizier, to how to setup a home office.

Come, let's explore:

"The new normal,” people say. Part of me gets that: Every Netflix show seems like a period piece from Ye Olde Days, when people mixed freely.

.@dylmcguinness walks us through what @LinaHidalgoTX's #stayhome order means in this explainer on page 2:

.@dianecowen walks you through how to clean your house, how to wash your money (the legal way, obvi😉), and how to make your own hand sanitizer:

And @gregmorago fills you in on what you need to grab at the grocery store to properly stock your pantry for these #stayhome days:
