>> from safe and sane in previous years to safe at home this year in front of a screen, it's almost a native environment. >> live is extremely unexpected, you know. nothing is predictable. >> and that is a 2020 vision. in marin county, wayne freedman, abc7 news. >> this is so depressing for so many seniors. my daughter is graduating from uc santa barbara in june. and they're talking about doing a virtual graduation maybe on zoom. bt i don't know. they call your name. i don't know how it's going to work. nobody even has an idea at this point. kristen you have young kids as well. it's so hard. they're all separate, and you don't have that moment where everybody is together and celebrating. >> i know. i have an eighth grader so, he is mission out on graduation and the class trips and things like that of a junior. so at least i'm thankful that it's not her senior year. i get it. in japan i saw one university, they're losing avatar robots, and then the robots have your

iphone on it, so you can see each other. i think they just have to find new ways, right? >> we need robots. we need more robots. >> that's the first time larry said we need more robots. >> that's true, that's true. >> desperate times call for desperate measures. so speaking of which, are you craving a burger but you can't get one because you're staying at home? now you can order shake shack for delivery. the i m m m m m burger quit kitts. it includes eight patties, the secret sauce, potato rolls, cheese and step by step cooking instructions. you can order it on uber it's. the kit is $49. but spencer, i heard you laughing. do you want to buy the kit or just buy the burgers and have them deliver. why do i want to go through all this work? >> i might do that. as you know, i'm not a consumer of fast food generally. but now that we're all locked

down, you know, all these things that are beyond my reach are things i want now. i would love to get -- i'm sorry. i would love to order in aburger from shake shack. but you know what? i might try the do it yourself kit. it sounds interesting. >> ama, you up for that? >> because not only will you get a taste of something you've been craving, but it's also an activity to kill some time at home. >> is that why it costs more than just the burger that is already made for you. okay. it's an activity. >> all right. well, if you're looking for a way to share your feelings during this unusual time, card makers are actually here to help you. check out the quarantine cards made by small business owner paper vibes hou. the cards have greetings such as i want you to know i'm here for you. not literally, but through facetime and zoom. and hello from quarn-tina.na not are all funny. a reminder we're all

experiencing a pretty wide range of emotions. i don't think it's that uncommon to use humor to try to deal with tough times sometimes. >> yeah. i'm not a card guy myself. but some of those seems to be amusing. spencer more sentimental. so you probably like the cards, right? >> i am. >> yeah. >> i love the idea. i think it's terrific. anything, as you mentioned earlier, to lighten the mood and bring a little humor into the current situation, yeah, i'm for it. >> kristen? >> and i've seen the t-shirts too. it's the same idea. its idea even though it's tough, we're all in it together and we can find a little as humor or goodness in it. it helps. >> i like the t-shirts. i like the t-shirt idea. now for something completely different. if you're a fan of "tiger king" on netflix, wisconsin farmers gave a cow a jungle makeover on a farm near the village of norwalk in honor of the netflix

entire families as we used to, or sit with all of our friends as we used to where you would find a seder table of 30, 40, 50 people depending on how big someone's house is. yet this year we're going to be sedering in place instead of sheltering in place. the reality is we're going to long for our family members to be sitting right beside us. we're going miss the moments of having our friends there as we celebrate, as we tell the story of passover, as we observe the customs. but we also have a great time. and this is something that we will be missing. but it doesn't mean that we can't have passover. and this year, like so many of the congregations throughout the world, certainly throughout the bay area, are providing online experiences, ways for families to gather using technology that enables us to see each other, hear each other, observe

together. we just can't physically be this the same room. making a passover meal is never easy, and this year it's going to be made a little more complicated. it's more complicated to go to the market. it may be more complicated to actually find some of the foods we are traditionally accustomed to having at this time of the year. but it didn't mean you can't have passover. so first, if you go online, you can see there are many places are even delivering passover meals. the one thing i would also say to everybody is that it may be a moment where we have to worry less about how passover was last year and more about how we can create a passover this year that is meaningful, that accomplishes all the things we need to do right now. that's to stay socially connected, emotionally connected. it's critical that we observe passover. and we observe passover because it is the universal story of freedom. and when we observe passover

seder, it's not only going to be to think about the ancient story, but to think about the modern implications of this experience. we're going to be thinking about making sure that nobody's free of oppression until everybody is free of oppression. nobody is free of tyranny unless everybody is free of tyranny. we owe that to ourselves and the world toe make that the ultimate goal. this year maybe the best gift we can give each other is to stay home, stay safe so that next year we can all be together sitting around the passover table. >> you know, it can feel really isolating at this time. you're not alone if you feel that way. and today the commonwealth club hosted an online forum featuring two mental health experts. one of them explained how technology could actually help us be happier in these days of social distancing.
