暖心挑戰篇：宅家，為了自己也為了他人
疫情期間，為了鼓勵民眾能夠儘量居家，海外社交網絡上也發起了一波一波的居家接力挑戰活動。
#IStayHomeFor居家挑戰，呼籲人們能夠“居家抗疫”，保護易感人群同時也減輕一線醫護工作者和衛生系統壓力。
足球巨星們發起了“捲紙顛球”（#ToiletPaperChallenge）接力活動，號召人們居家的同時通過適當運動來增強免疫力。
世界衛生組織和世界公民組織還策劃了“一起宅家”（Together, At Home）的線上接力活動，得到了許多知名音樂家、歌手們的響應。通過一場場直播音樂會，給居家的人們帶去溫暖。
Several social media challenges have been organized online, encouraging people to stay at home and practice social distancing.
For example, #StayHomeFor challenge, kicked off by American actor Kevin Bacon, aims at getting people to share who they are staying at home for on social media in a bid to keep everyone safe and healthy and reduce the pressure for frontline medics.
Initiated by top soccer players like Lionel Messi, #ToiletPaperChallenge, in which athletes try to juggle a roll of toilet paper ten times with their feet, encourages people to stay active during quarantine.
Previously, WHO also collaborated with World Citizen Organization to launch the "Together, At Home" campaign, which has attracted many big name stars and celebrities who are delivering livestreaming performances and sharing their stay-at-home experiences.
在最近的一場抗疫公益直播演唱會上，老牌組合后街男孩五人也罕見同框，線上合體獻唱代表作《I Want It That Way》，組合的隔空互動引來不少網友感嘆“滿滿回憶殺”、“我的青春回來了”。

ICYMI (In case you missed it),the Backstreet Boys came together for a good cause on March 29. The group sang their classic hit, "I Want It That Way," for iHeart Radio’s Living Room Concert special and were even joined by some special guests!
The entire band — AJ McLean, Howie Dorough, Nick Carter, Brian Littrell and Kevin Richardson — performed from their separate homes.
五人都在各自家裡隔空合唱！！！效果還是那麼棒！

思考人生篇：新冠肺炎讓你明白了什麼？
海外社交網站Reddit上， 話題“新冠肺炎讓你明白了什麼？”引發了眾多網友的深思。
有人感慨親情、友情、愛情在災難來臨時更顯得彌足珍貴↓
“我真的嫁對了人。我倆一起隔離兩週了，和他在一起讓我的整體幸福感都有了很大的不同。”
“（我明白了）最好的朋友對我來說有多重要。在家待了一星期後，才又聽到了他的聲音。我們都很內向，所以不常給彼此打電話。所以當我們終於找到一起玩的遊戲時，第一次互動是這樣的。我：嘿！朋友：嘿！我：很高興再次聽到你的聲音～朋友：我想你。我：我也想你。”
還有人感慨要珍惜當下，因為沒有人知道“明天是否來得及”。
“（才知道）我是如此的幸運。別誤會，我當然也有很多事兒讓我夜不能寐。只是和那些此刻深陷困境的人們相比，我的煩惱根本算不了什麼。”
“沒人知道明天會發生什麼。”
更有人由衷地感謝身邊的人，一場疫情，讓更多人體會到周邊人的美好。
“卡車司機和醫務工作者真可謂是國家的脊樑。”
希望疫情早日過去，每個人都平安健康。
到那時，別忘了給身邊的人一個暖暖的擁抱。
