As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to wreak havoc across the state of New York, you’ll find that residents of Buffalo are all following a somewhat similar schedule. With our favorite attractions temporarily closed and all of our restaurant’s dining rooms with their doors closed shut to the general public, we hope to bring you a bit of laughter during these trying times. If you’re ready to slightly take your mind off of the seriousness of things, then you’ll surely get a kick out of this daily quarantine schedule that we’ve put together!
8 a.m. - Get dressed

9 a.m. - Breakfast
Holly Mosher/Google Start your morning off right with a trip to Mazurek’s Bakery, one of the many delicious businesses that still has their doors open during the pandemic. How are you going to survive COVID-19 without one of Mazurek’s sweets in hand?
10 a.m. - Check the news

11 a.m. - Head to the store
Megan Conrow/Google The most trying time of the day, heading to your local Wegmans and markets nowadays feels like you’re in the Hunger Games. Be kind and make sure to maintain a safe distance from other shoppers.
12 p.m. - Make lunch

1 p.m. - Conference call with work
Justin Paget/GettyImages So, which type of work-at-home Buffalonian are you? The type who gets all dolled up for your Zoom conference call or the type who’s unashamed to let their coworkers see them slightly disheveled in your favorite Buffalo Bills jersey?
2 p.m. - Make a playlist
Klaus Vedfelt/GettyImages If you hadn’t heard the news, in order to keep COVID-19 at bay, you’ll want to wash your hands for at least 30 seconds, which has lead to many Buffalonians seeking out songs to sing along to! Now’s the time to put together the ultimate hand-washing playlist.
3 p.m. - Get some fresh air
AlexTIZANO/GettyImages Practicing social distancing doesn’t mean that you have to say goodbye to seeing the light of day, so now’s a great time to take advantage of all the wonderful places where you can stretch your legs and get some fresh air.
4 p.m. - Take a nap

5 p.m. - Dinner with your co-workers
Yuri Long/Flickr Before this pandemic, they were just your family members… but now, these guys are bound to be your co-workers for the next upcoming weeks.
6 p.m. - FaceTime a friend
Rawpixel/GettyImages In an effort to make sure that you don’t forget what your favorite people look like, be sure to use FaceTime, Skype, Facebook chat, or whatever your preference may be, to get a hold of your friends and family.
7 p.m. - Shower and wash up
peapod labs/Flickr Time to put that playlist to use and wash the day off of you!
8 p.m. - Time for drinks
Big Ditch Brewing Company/Facebook Just because you can’t sit in a bar full of Buffalonians right now, doesn’t mean that you can’t still grab drinks from your favorite local breweries and businesses. If you take a look around here in Buffalo, you’ll find most of our favorite spots still open for to-go orders, so you won’t have to go thirsty while you self-quarantine.
9 p.m. - Check social media
Westend61/GettyImages Before you go to bed and after you’ve had your drinks, it’s time to sit back and watch all the drama of COVID-19 unfold on your social media feeds.
10 p.m. - Time for bed
