Pros: Can teach us all about philosophy with the down time

Cons: Will be indecisive about everything

Seinfeld was one of the most iconic shows for years, even though it wasn’t really about anything, meaning someone like Elaine will know how to keep us entertained when really not much is going on as we hunker down.

Cons: Would eat all of your stockpiled waffles

Listen up fives, a ten is speaking! Jenna Maroney with her hilarious one-liners would be the perfect person to be around to take our mind off of anything going on outside.

Pros: Has a copy of the Rural Juror to watch over and over

Cons: Will freak out it you get any more attention than her

Hanging out with one of the smartest doctors from the Seattle Grace Hospital just seems practical, but Cristina also proved time and time again she is an equally good friend, too.

Pros: Knows everything about medicine and would be able to take care of you
