This is a big ask, but it has a big payoff. Many communities will have to share devices such as iPad and DVD players during these times. The ability to communicate with the outside world or escape into a favourite movie, whenever they want, is a tremendous benefit for isolated residents.

If you try this and end up getting items, you will want to make sure though that everything is cleaned and sanitized before handing them out.
