If You Think People Are The Worst These Days, These 30 Wholesome Pics May Change Your Mind
Coronavirus doesn’t sound like a top-notch business plan. But some corona-jerks are selling their souls to the devil, hoarding supplies, and hoping to make a quick fortune out of them.
Luckily, there are still some unsung heroes in these trying times. People are praising the selfless souls who are here to fight the viral outbreak with simple acts of kindness. Everything counts—from sharing toilet paper, to spending 2,500 dollars on masks and disinfectant only to give them away to the elders. These wholesome cases are living proof that we can and will get through it together and become stronger than ever. So don’t forget to applaud these corona-heroes in the comments!
Scroll down to see what Kristina Tamelytė, a political science lecturer at Vilnius University, told Bored Panda about the test coronavirus is putting our societies through.

After Fighting Corona In China, The Same Medical Team Are Traveling To Fight In Italy. True Heros
I love this story. I wonder if it's the idea of this team or if Chinese government has told them to go and do it.
Well... exactly. Lots of propaganda about, not to mention a huge charm offensive.
Load More Replies...My fate in humanity has just been a tiny bit restored. Love and courage to you all!
I just told my husband about this team over lunch. We need to give way more credit to the Chinese people. They care.

Granddaughter Telling Grandfather The News Of Her Engagemen
Ok..now I'm crying. I have a friend whose daughter is stationed in Japan at her husbands military base. They were supposed to fly to Washington State last week to visit family. Their flight was cancelled. So they had to go online to Facebook and make the big announcement that my friend is going to be a Grandma come October. I'm Happy they're expecting, sad that they couldn't tell her parents in person and scared that this illness may kill her parents before they ever have a chance to see their grandchild. Please, Please PLEASE people....heed the healthcare experts advice and stay home when you're sick, wash your hands often, and stay safe.
Your friends are going to be able to meet their grandchild. As long as they take good care of themselves, they are going to be alright. Congratulations to your friends! And yes, everyone needs to heed the words of healthcare experts and stop making jokes.
Load More Replies...You can see the emotion. So sorry, but again, this is a beautiful photo! Congrats!
I'm just balling at the pic of them touching hands! No exaggerations. All the emotions with everything, and this pic got them all to flood out!
Even in times of crisis, there is still some wonderful things to celebrate. I'll bet that was some of the best news he's gotten lately.
Journalist Kristina Tamelytė told Bored Panda that the current health crisis is a trial of the values we've always taken for granted. “We’re used to living in an individualistic and egocentric society where the sense of community and belonging is low.” In fact, “We have never really had the time to think about how we actually live and where our societies are going.”
Now that the virus is in full swing, we have to face some really challenging questions. “Are we able to overcome this crisis and emerge as a better society? Are we able to be more attentive to others and their pain? Are we willing to let go of the urge to have everything?” Every one of us has to realize the point at which we stand, and go from there.
An Italian Hospital Ran Out Of Icu Valves
3D printing is becoming so popular that the price of 3D printers is going down, which means more people will have access to them. The NHS should be using them on a reguar basis.
No, the NHS shouldn't --- because the medical liabilities are so huge. The main reason for the huge markup on medical supplies is testing, testing, testing and insurances against said liabilitiet. However, in these chaotic initial days, it's a brilliant solution at low-to-no risk of lawsuits.
Load More Replies...This happened where I live. Valves cost $1000, and were unobtainable to some. A guy 3D printed some for $1. Now the owner of the company is suing him. It's awful, but I'm glad to see not everyone is that way :)
That story was published by The Verge who did zero face checking. The valve costs only a few euros, the company making them is giving them to hospitals for free right now, they are not suing anyone, and finally, they only denied the blue prints for the valves the people that 3D printed them. It seems they just made up the story for clicks and now have been forced to "update" the article to reflect the fact that literally NONE OF IT HAPPENED.
Load More Replies...The ugly truth is that someone could get sued over that. Patent infringement and all. Kudos to the company that helped out though.
Let’s Help Each Other And Be Rebecca’s
THIS. I am so freaking worried about the folks who are alone or have only one person to count on.
I hope more people will follow this person's example and maybe they can do kind of like the way they do with meals on wheels but for bringing groceries to elderly people or even ones who are in quarantine.
How are we so disconnected that elderly people have no one to help them? I remember reading in first-class anthropology about how almost every society known to man does more to help elderly, sick, misfortunate people than any state society. Meaning that traditionally, a society helps their elderly, sick, and misfortunate (broken leg, wife dead, husband dead, etc.)
Typically that is true, but a lot of people are of the belief that the only people that are important to a population are the people who can provide some sort of labor. Therefore, to a lot of these societies the elderly, the sick, and the mentally ill don't cut it. It's sad, but that's how some morons think.
Load More Replies...So true. Many elderly have no one. And they are scared. Food delivery services should waive their fees for awhile.
I'm a single mom with no family. I own a housecleaning service and was gutted to lay off my 2 employees today. Then I had to start the awful process of calling all my clients and suspending service. I was so pleased the amount of clients that not only said they will continue paying their service bill, but to call them if I needed anything. One client even picked me up to take me shopping (I don't drive). I love my clients, I'll be so happy and relieved to go back to work.
Today On My Buy And Sell Facebook Group A Woman Posted Free Lunch For Any Kids That Need It Since School Was Cancelled (Censored Address And Location)
Wow, that is extremely thoughtful especially about the peanut allergies etc.
Yes indeed, to think of the peanut allergy, that is smart and thoughtful !!!
Load More Replies...I'm just so very very sorry that kids have to depend on school to get a lunch.
Me too. Sometimes that's the only meal they get all day.
Load More Replies...This is what you do in times of crisis. I think that all of these people are restoring the faith that was lost by people buying up toilet paper to sell.
this is the nicest and best message I have seen for for ever. And I can't read for the tears. You are wonderful people
According to Kristina Tamelytė, we must be aware of the fear which is driving our behavior. “It’s normal that people tend to think of themselves during difficult times. But we can always be aware of our urges, preferences, and instincts.” This is what makes us humans, “And we can choose not to act accordingly,” Kristina explained.
Giving Free To Older People
They should realize (as should every government body) that living, healthy people will spend much more money in the future than dead ones.

Chinese Doctors Celebrate The Closure Of The Last Temporary Hospital In Wuhan. Patients Dropped From 15000 To 15. Absolute Heros
They have done a fantastic job getting this under control. The whole of China currently have 8,940 active cases. The 15 is the new cases each day. 68,700 recovered or at least discharged from hospital. 3,200 dead which is sad, but with a population of 1.6b, many living in crowded conditions, that is incredibly well contained
Load More Replies...Congratulations! You dedicated, unselfish saints deserve to be so proud!
Good on them, but how much rest will they get if China can not control those Wet markets? We are all paying the price for idiots, who continue to keep and sell animals, in dangerous conditions.
exactly. Thats what you get when you eat bat soup. or bat surprise.
Load More Replies...shows you what a difference it makes to live in a country that is not over-burdened with bureaucratic bull-s**t - In America, it would take ten years to erect a 1000 bed hospital and the unions would enforce nurse to patient ratios
Sorry, but your argumetation - that's full BS! This could be called the law of the war and it's only possible in totalitarian regimes. 100% of the medical staff there are conscripted and trained to obey the command!
Load More Replies...Your dedication, your long hours with the sick, be proud of your accomplishment !!!
This Distillery Is Using Their Equipment To Produce Hand Sanitizer, And Giving It Away For Free
Chicagoans who are interested in this, Shine Distillery is in Logan Square : )
Hey, thanks for this, but there are conflicting messages with “Harvey Rubenstien” he said “ Shine Distillery is in Portland, Oregon (not Chicago as someone previously posted who might have confused it with Rhine Hall Distillery in Logan Square). They were featured on CNN last night. Ryan (co-owner) is a terrific person (and has been long before the hand sanitizer shortage).” I do not know which is right, but

More heroes, this is a huge help, bless you all that helped !!!
As we are getting close to the full swing of the COVID-19 pandemic, more and more experts are praising altruism, which is among the traits needed to survive these trying times.
Kristina agrees that there have been numerous cases of exemplary behavior amid the crisis. “For instance, neighbors helping elderly people by bringing them food safely, so that they don’t have to come out and risk their health.”
However, if the crisis gets worse, we need to be prepared to see the “ugly side of human nature.” But Tamelytė is positive: “If we’re aware of what fear and selfishness could do to us, we will be able to avoid and control it.”

Real Heroes Deserve More Appreciation
RESPECT to ALL medical staff who are working day and night during this pandemic knowing how dangerous their job is. True Heroes.
In what way can we show more appreciation for these heroes? Is there a charity or other way that the public can physically and directly show our appreciation?
I am sure there are many names, we may never know, a hero can be unseen !!!
Ms. Chen Hides 65 Pets, Abandoned During Wuhan Outbreak, In Her Small Home. Authorities Only Allow 1 Pet Per Home, And They Kill The Animal If Owner Got Covid19
Dogs can't get it. I haven't read about other animals but wtf? There's a special place in Hell for these people.
And a special place in Heaven for people like Ms. Chen.
Load More Replies...Why????? Why kill the animal? Cats and dogs don't transmit coronavirus. Killing the animals is just cruel and totally pointless.
probably because they thought it's better to just finish the pets life than let it starve at home while the owner in quarantine? since they can't really spare personnel to care for the pets or just friggin buy the pet foods? china's government never really care about pets anyway
Load More Replies...WHO (world health organization) said a dog did test positive for covid 19
if that is true it's good to know, however if you have a pet it's like putting your granny or child out on the street because she has corona. It's a life that depends on you... please everyone, let's find other alternatives to deal with that problem.

Load More Replies...A Family In PA Giving Away Free Toilet Paper To Anyone In Need; Be More Like These People
you all realize what they are doing right. They are buying it WITH money to give it away FOR NO MONEY. FREE. They are being selfless. Be like them
Load More Replies...I know I'm going to get 100 down votes but to me this seems much more like an advertising opportunity than generosity. He's clearly giving it away while advertising his business. His true intention was not to help out the needy. If that was the case, he could have dropped it off at a shelter or not even bought so much and just left it for the rest of the people to buy as needed.
Whilst this is a good thing it does beg the question where they got it all from in the first place.
Well if you're buying up all the TP in bulk and giving it away for free I'd say go ahead.
Load More Replies...My first thought was maybe they should have left them on the shelves for people who need it but the greedy, selfish people would take it for themselves and also this saves vulnerable people money. Good on them.
I really want to hope they didn't become jerks and buy 75% of the toilet paper in a store.....
I was thinking the same. It's great they're giving it away for free and all, but I've gone to 5 stores in the past two days and can't find anything. What makes it worse is that I see the elderly looking for it too. I don't know who to track down to get free TP, but I know where it is sold.

A Very Kind Neighbor
It's funny how stores are out of hand sanitizer but not soap. The latter protects you from Coronavirus better than the former.
Handwashing tip: FRICTION over a 20-30 second period removes more bacteria than the usual wet-rub-rinse with antibacterial soap that is common. Hand sanitizers work best with vigorous friction. Rub your palms and fingertips together vigorously, then work on the backs of the hands.

Supermarket Will Open To Just The Elderly
A Cornish supermarket will be opening its store to the elderly only for two hours this week so that they can conduct their shopping.
The store manager of the Penzance branch of Iceland confirmed that the store will be opening on Wednesday between 9-11am. Charlotte Priest said: “It will be manned by a member of management who will only be letting the elderly in.
That's my home town! I have a lot of elderly friends and neighbours who will really appreciate this. Well done Iceland and Penzance. I really hope this is taken up by a lot of shops. Many scared elders here (and everywhere).
But are Pirates doing anything for the orphans?
