They are moving in with proper checkups and certifications and staying in small groups so that they can have a good time.
People staying alone or with roommates are taking the decision to move into a better place where they can make a life out of this quarantine situation. The temporary movement will calm them and help them feel less lonely. They are gathering for social meetings within their groups in one place and not meeting others to stay safe. It’s like choosing to live with your besties and locking yourself with them!

Who would want to live in isolation and that too for so long? This trend came from east where celebs started putting up together. Even in western countries, celebrities are staying together in big farms or studios where they have almost all the modern facilities. They have their permanent homemaker to take care of the property and the owners.
While Quaranteaming, they have collected ration and necessary household items for the entire month and have isolated themselves until the lockdown is over. They are having a quality time partying together in the isolation with all the precautionary measures. We notice them revealing their fun time with friends on social media.
We are hearing different stories of Quaranteaming where even unknown people are teaming together for a few reasons. Either they don’t have homes to stay or they can’t afford their living alone. Being together with specific people gives them financial, emotional, or moral support to face this pandemic situation. People get rid of their anxiety and depression if they stay together.
