The Coronavirus pandemic is changing the world. Shut-ins are heroes. Extroverts are villains. In a world where sitting on your ass and not assaulting strangers over toilet rolls is seen as an accomplishment, it can be hard to remain civilised. If you are keen to avoid role-playing Jack Torrence from the Shining and/or if you dont have a maze big enough to hide from the Jack in your life as social distancing drives us all mad , why not join host John Cleary and a rotating cast of Irish comedians and layabouts for an unhealthy dose of gallows humour as they try to find the laughter in the lockdown and stay Coronapositive about COVID-19 by reminding us that however bad it gets... it could be worse!
