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.

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.
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.

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.

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.
Trevor Noah of THE DAILY SHOW is ever the voice of reason. He addressed hoarding, then said, "Let's act like we live in a community and help each other. Don't just live for yourself."
Be a Rebecca and help someone in need. It don't have to be a big gesture, but let's help each other out right now.
Exactly! During times of crisis so many people get into the mind set of survival of the fittest or everybody for themselves but the only way we are going to get through this is if we overcome our differences, prejudices, and mentalities and work together to find solutions.

Good for you! Your message reminds me there are still decent people in this world!
When we are out doing errands, we can keep our eyes wide open, we may see someone to help !!!
Thank you for doing that! This made me cry. I take care of my 89 year old mom, full-time (she has Alzheimers, a heart condition, and diabetes) and it scares me to death to have to go out to store or pick up prescriptions. I waited two weeks to make a grocery store trip and am just trying to get out as little as possible. I had to go to Kroger to day to pick up an RX, and there was a man in his 80s (I think) and he was just sitting in the middle of the bakery section. I guess waiting on a family member. They shouldn't have even brought him in the store. Thank you again for taking care of them.
This made it into on Dharma talk I heard. I expect to hear it in sermons soon.
I remember being told as a child, “In times of crisis ALL Americans pull together to help each other out.” I’ve seen it happen many times over (from wars to hurricanes) and still believe it to be true. So let’s show the world how Americans handle any crisis... with a passion for a caring, healthy and safe way of life.
Now I'm going to be walking slowly in the grocery parking lot in the case someone needs my help too! 😷

Wow, that is extremely thoughtful especially about the peanut allergies etc.
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.

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.”

I want to give a big shout out everyone who is on the front line in this difficult time. I am sure they are physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted. Thank you for your help and try to look after yourselves before you wear yourself down and get sick yourselves.
Agreed. I'd also like to thank all those who are not doctors or nurses but still work at medical facilities and have no choice but to work. Thanks to all the janitors, cooks, receptionist, facility workers.

And especially loving the Chinese Healthcare workers that are expanding out to help sick people in other countries!! Y'all Rock!!
All true heroes. Daily figures are shocking, world wide. Just goes to show what can happen in our communities if we pull together.
In the Czech Republic there's not enough of surgical masks or respirators, desinfection, and more...So people start to make masks at home on their sewing machines for free to share them with homes for elderly people, hospitals, or neighbors. This restored my faith in humanity.
And it gets real for me. Going to an electrical call in the hot zone of a hospital with coronavirus patients. Wish me luck
Wishing you safety and I'm sure they very much appreciate you answering the call.

In France, people are applauding at their window at 8pm each night to salute the work of those who are working in hospitals and make this incredible job!
I want to say that during this time, we all need to come together and try to make it through this crisis as a team. No matter what race, religion, ethnicity or age we are we all come from the same God. To all of those medical professionals on the front lines of this crisis: Thank you so much for what you are doing. We can't thank you enough for working so hard. To all of the senior citizens out there: Us young people got your back and will do what we can to help you. You are not going through this crisis alone and have support. To everyone: Take care of yourself, stay in if you can, and help those in need. I will be praying for you.
When we make it through this, what comes next???

Having to hide pets cause the Chinese will kill them even though no evidence of their vulnerability is disgusting. How they treat animals got us in this mess in the first place.
There is no “the Chinese“. A Chinese person is caring for them. You are just another racist.

It's worth pointing out re: #4 that when the valve manufacturer found out what that guy was doing, they sent a cease-and-desist letter threatening to sue for patent infringement. A crisis really does bring out one's character, good OR bad.
I have one question: why people WAIT for the horrible crisis occur, to do all these wonderful deeds? Why don't they get informed about cruelty and injustice in the world and get together and fight against those inhuman monsters who cause suffering to the innocent beings?
It's refreshing to be reminded that our world is not completely comprised of a******s. Thanks to everyone trying to combat this virus. And more thanks to those trying to help our most vulnerable!
Truly a great post, it tells of the wonderful people, heroes and angels, a huge help, or small !!!
For those of us who can find kindness and exercise the acts of during such a difficult time just makes my heart swell and reaffirms my belief that there are angels that walk among us
Talking about difficult times; did you ask yourselves why it always have to come to "difficult times"?? Why not pay attention what's happening in the world, and why not reconsider what we are doing ourselves, ask if we are not contributing to those crisis, how to avoid them.

You know how Americans say ''thank you for your service'' to soldiers, you should start saying it to Medical Professionals from now on too.
We live in an older neighbourhood in our city, some of the people on our street are the original owners of their homes, built right after WWII, so far we have shopped for 4 of them, walked the dog daily for 1 of them, she's too terrified to step outside her door and we're picking up prescriptions for 2 of them today, we are also older, but we're younger than the others, so we do what we can.

"We will get through it stronger than ever"? Just like that? If "we" continue to do the same thing we did before each viral outbreak, it will emerge again and more potent than corona virus. Didn't you learn this fact already? Doing the same thing which led us to this crisis, and every previous one, and expect a different outcome, it's crazy!!! Got it???
