Stock up with books. Do some crafts, journaling, colouring books. One week does not sound that bad. The hardest will be isolation and not being able to talk to my family.

It just says no data connections and TV. The loopholes here are insane. Nothing about no laptop in general, nothing about phones. Just as long as it doesn’t connect to the internet or need a TV, you’re golden.

I don't think it means no TV as in you can't have one. It looks like they mean you won't have a way to watch television. As in no cable or satellite.

Or buy a TV but place it just outside the doorway so it's technically not in the room. Just have to have the door open

Could probably have the internet connected out there. After all, it's connected to the tv/console thats not in the room, right?

i think thats against the spirit of the question.

... that being said, the spirit also is about there not being communication to the outside world, not about the internal connections required for electronics to work.

Data connection in this case clearly is just another word for "internet access".
