If You Think People Are The Worst These Days, These 40 Wholesome Pics May Change Your Mind
It's tough to stay positive when coronavirus deaths top 10,000 globally and entire nations go on lockdown. And in the midst of the fear and uncertainty surrounding the pandemic, each day seems to bring news that's worse than the day before. However, as in most major disasters, tragedies, and public health threats, there are reasons for a better future.
So, even though it's difficult to be the “it could always be worse” type of person during these difficult times, let's try. After all, what other options do we have? Bored Panda has compiled a list of good news about COVID-19 to complement the ones we already have, so scroll down and check 'em out!

These Are Epic Times
Rick 5 years ago
So.... the advice is to stay away from people to reduce risk of infection, especially to old people, who are more susceptible and this guy thinks it’s a good idea to sit in a car, with a 79 year old woman and share a joint with her? Yeah, that’s not grand or cute, it’s stupid and selfish.
spharoe 5 years ago
Right?? "Here, have some of my saliva on the end of your joint" DUMB. So. F*****g DUMB. Think. THINK. Oh my God.

Laugh at the comments about sharing a joint. At no point in the story is it mentioned that they shared it. Reading comprehension.... some people could use it.
It's worth mentioning that most people with COVID-19 recover. Current estimates suggest that 99% of people infected will beat it. Some people even don't experience any of the symptoms at all. Yes, thousands have died, but the overall death rate is about 1% (or perhaps even lower), far less than MERS (about 34%), SARS (about 11%), or Ebola (90%), though a lot higher than the average seasonal flu (0.1%). Condolences to all the lives lost to this illness, and we should expect many more cases, but if we were to isolate the fatality rates, it could be far worse.

People against socialism constantly say it's awful to have the government so in control of your life.

The point is, they take care of each other. How is that a bad thing?

Also, scientists have found out how the novel coronavirus breaks into human cells. This will significantly help to develop treatments. It began when researchers revealed the first picture of how the novel coronavirus binds with human respiratory cells to produce more viruses. The scientists in China then solidified the images all the way down to the level of the atoms at the binding points. With this news, understanding how the virus enters cells will significantly aid researchers in finding drugs and vaccines to fight the virus.
A good example of this also comes from China where local medical authorities reported that a drug used in Japan to treat new strains of influenza appeared to be effective in coronavirus patients. Zhang Xinmin, an official at China's science and technology ministry, said favipiravir, developed by a subsidiary of Fujifilm, had produced promising results in clinical trials in Wuhan and Shenzhen involving 340 patients.

Next, humanity's response to future pandemics should improve. "The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed shortcomings in healthcare systems throughout the world that provide an opportunity to improve them," Robert H. Shmerling, MD, wrote in the Harvard Health Blog. "For example, a faster global response, better and quicker distribution of testing kits, and more coordinated and coherent public messaging should be expected the next time around. (No guarantees, of course.)"
The new coronavirus epidemic is a huge problem that's probably only gonna get bigger in the following weeks and months. For those who are infected and those trying to avoid infection, these are definitely tough times. But, as Shmerling put it, "Amid all the doom and gloom, there are some positive stories, positive messages and reasons to remain hopeful."

We haven't been lied to. You've misinterpreted information. High risk doesn't mean the virus is 100% lethal to the elderly and those with weak/compromised immune systems. It means they are more susceptible to contracting the illness and have a high chance of dying. So, it is possible for someone at high risk to recover. Ergo, this picture.

Oh dear, I was talking to a fellow dog owner down the park and she was complaining loudly about getting less commission as a property manager if owners lowered rents. "It's not fair, I lost $60k a year after the gfc, and it's only just picked up again in the last few months". I tried explaining that it's not about profits, it's about covering costs over the next few months and it's better to get less than have tenants renting at a lower rate than going into share houses, but she didn't listen. I won't talk to her again!

She sounds like a selfish cow. I'm not sure what it is with people when they make a ton of money, but still are unsatisfied unless they make more. Any cut back in their already enormous wages sends them into a tizzy. I don't overspend on my income..and I plan for such situations like a sudden drop in income due to illness. Maybe she just can't seem to plan her budgets very well.

I wish the Orthodox Church in my country would do the same. Yesterday (Sunday, 22nd of March), while the Corona pandemic is in full bloom all across Europe, priests were giving the holy communion to all the (imbecile/idiot/cretin) Christians who went to church (absolute idiots). Just to clarify, the holy communion in Orthodox churches means using a single tiny spoon to give a tiny amount of blessed wine from one single cup. One cup, one spoon, from one mouth to the next. After they drink that wine, the church-goers go kiss a few icons of saints. All the while, doctors, nurses, state authorities bend over backwards to prevent personal contact and enforce social distancing.

Yeah, that’s an ignorant thing to continue doing during a pandemic. Or ever, really, given what we know about disease transmission. Hope they’ll reconsider the practice entirely.

Dogs and cats can get sick with A DIFFERENT TYPE of coronavirus. In dogs and cats it causes gastrointestinal problems, not respiratory problems. The viruses are "related", but ARE DIFFERENT. PETS DO NOT TRANSMIT COVID-19. Obviously, if a person with the virus sneezes on a dog, the animal will carry the virus for a while, as any other surface. BUT PETS DO NOT TRANSMIT CORONAVIRUS.

A 98 Year Old Patient Recovered From Coronavirus In China
Jim Kang 5 years ago
It's not propaganda, the elderly are more susceptible to corona, like they are with influenza, and many other illnesses. It doesn't mean that some won't survive this pandemic. Just like some of the younger victims will sadly die from this.

It's weird that it's nowhere mentioned that China made great progress in beating coronavirus by treating the patients very high doses of Vitamin C . Why doesn't animals get the Virus?Because most animals produce Vitamin C in high amounts of up to 20,000 mg per day compared to human bodyweight. Humans and sub-humans primate lack this ability due a genetic mutation that occurred during their evolution.

This Student Created A Network Of 'Shopping Angels' To Help The Elderly Get Groceries During The Coronavirus Pandemic
Moo Moo Futch 5 years ago
I was at a supermarket at 5am to wait for the 6am opening yesterday (Friday 20th March) and has some items to get for my disabled mum and my neighbour. The staff treated me like a criminal when I tried to buy items for my mum and then separately for my neighbour. They are saying to help, I do that and the stores don't have anything in place for this sort of thing in the U.K. The people who are to blame are the selfish hoarders from a few weeks ago who were snatching items up in multiples just for themselves or to sell for profit. I asked the staff how I was meant to do it for my bed ridden elderly neighbours next week as I can only do one trip per day and they told me to order theirs online. To be clear they have nothing and cannot get out and online deliveries aren't for two weeks. It's disgusting.
Moo Moo Futch 5 years ago
It was the most soul destroying experience and I just came out in tears. I don't have any other family and all my friends are in London so it's just me trying to hold down work and help my community as much as possible as well as my only family member yet I was spoken to and treated appallingly and left absolutely unable to help. It's so bad here, if you aren't at the door of the supermarkets for 6am, you won't get anything. The first few hours are being reserved for the elderly, vulnerable and carers. It's amazing how many carers are suddenly coming out of the woodwork to strip the shelves bare. If you cannot get what you need in that first visit, you are stuffed. It's awful and makes me despair.

Me too, Magpie. My doctor recently retired and three new doctors I checked with say they no longer treat my disease (severe nerve pain) with opiates, so I had to quit those and am on something much weaker. It is now very difficult to do much of anything. Such is life, I suppose. Good luck to you.

Took Mom To Walmart This Morning To Grab A Few Things And As Usual, The Toilet Paper And Paper Towels Were Nowhere To Be Found
As we were walking to the car, we see this guy stopping some elderly folks and handing them bags of toilet paper.... Out of his trunk. I was blown away because I'm usually expecting the worst in people. He came over to us and asked if we needed some then handed my mom a bag with, I think 5 or 6 rolls. Then he says he didn't want money... He was just out helping the older folks that needed it! That was pretty rad.
Thank you, toilet paper guy!!

This is would not be necessary if supermarkets would limit the amount a single person can take for the most popular items. The supermarket where I usually shop did that - and guess what, we were able to find everything we needed this week.

It's not the size of the wedding or who witnessed your vows, it depends on how you see yourself with this person from then on. I wouldn't trade my husband for anything. He is my bff, my heart and my soul. Did I mention that we knew each other only 7 weeks before getting married? Funny how that works out. Here's to many happy healthy years in your future!

The Owner Of My Local Supermarket Hitesh Is Opening Early And Allowing Only Pensioners For An Hour
Louplou 5 years ago
I wish my local IGA was as kind. Living in a small rural town (1500 people), only one supermarket & they've jacked up all their prices - because life isn't difficult enough atm. Examples: $7(au) for a lettuce, $19 for 5kg potatoes and regardless of family size (we're a family of 6) only allowed to purchase 1 of any item

While this is really nice I always wonder about the employees that have to come in earlier. They are already at a higher risk and probably have kids to take care of. Why not just open like always and still use the first hour for elders.

Free Books
Summer Woodsong 5 years ago
No worries, just place the box of books outside for a couple days before sharing. The virus dies on paper and plastic fairly quickly. If you put the books each in a ziplock and folks use gloves, it could still work. Maybe add a note/sign to explain what precautions had been taken and how to be safe. Not a bad idea, just needs some detail added.
Monika Soffronow 5 years ago
The likelihood of catching Covid-19 from a book put outside by a healthy child at home because schools are shut must be nil. Stay safe. Be kind. And keep things in perspective.

The virus is spread by droplets. So if you get sneezed on, coughed on, that can infect you. This type of mask WILL stop that. Also by walking through an area where someone has recently coughed / sneezed.

Wholesomeness In The Midst Of Covid-19
I work with an older gentleman who has disabilities. I support him in his home, located in an elderly community, which is obviously the neighborhood to avoid right now. As I was leaving at the end of my shift, these people were dropping off supply bags at each door full of stuff which the older people would need during the quarantine. It wasn't too much in each bag, but they at least gave a roll of toilet paper and some hygiene products. They all had great big smiles and were some of the cheesiest people I've seen in awhile. It really brightened my outlook on this lockdown which central/ northern California is going into and contrasted the selfishness of those who have been over buying and hoarding supplies. That made me feel really good and I want to spread the positivity on.
Please be careful y'all, and take care of each other. God bless
