There’s so much doom and gloom out there, let’s take a look at the good news happening during the COVID-19 outbreak.
Kidness Postcards
A “Kindness Postcard” has been making the rounds on social media. It’s a card you can print out and put in your neighbors’ mailboxes, in case they need assistance. You list your name and phone number, and it says to call if they need groceries, supplies, or even just someone to talk to.
No Rent
A landlord in Maine announced on social media that he’s not charging his tenants rent next month, and he’s calling on other landlords around the country to follow suit.
Community Kitchens
Celebrity chef José Andrés owns a lot of restaurants. Even before they were ordered to shut down, he closed up shop and turned a bunch of them into community kitchens.
$2,500 Tip
Right before Ohio shut down all its restaurants on Sunday, someone in Columbus left a $2,500 tip. They wanted it to be split between five staff members, because they knew they’d be out of work for a while.
Cupcakes For First Responders
The owner of a cupcake shop in Washington state was worried the outbreak would drive her out of business. But she’s doing okay because so many people are buying cupcakes to send to nurses, teachers, and first responders. This is a great idea! We need to do this locally!
Elderly Shopping
Grocery stores around the country have started offering special early morning hours when only the elderly are allowed to shop. It’s so they can avoid exposure to large crowds, and not have to deal with all the insanity that’s been going on.
