According to The Huff Post, nature may help Americans adjust to their new normal.
As families stay at home together to help slow the spread of covid-19, possibly for days, weeks, and maybe even months, nature may be the saving grace.

Adults usually only spend an hour or less outside daily — compared to 11 hours of screen time.
