A Covid-19 good news/inspirational thread.

[mtpockets]

A mystery man appeared at the window of a New Jersey hospital to thank emergency staff for saving his wife’s life during the novel coronavirus outbreak.

In a heartwarming ******** post, Shay Vander Vliet explains that her sister-in-law, Paige, took a snapshot of the elderly man, with his hand to his heart, holding a sign up to the window at Morristown Medical Center.

“Thank you all in emergency for saving my wife’s life,” the sign reads. “I love you all.”

I’ll post in your lonely thread just because I like ya. Lol.

Good news is we are number 1 in cases. USA! USA! USA! The number of cases will depend on who and how many they test (alive and deceased), so we can make the numbers do whatever we want.

The other good news is we’ve quickly incorporated new words like “social distancing” into our vocabularies and people will likely wash their hands more, at least for awhile..

Though the number of novel coronavirus cases continues to rise by the day, happy endings still exist.

A 101-year-old Italian man was recently released from hospital after making a full recovery from COVID-19, according to Gloria Lisi, deputy mayor of Rimini, Italy.

The man, only referred to as “Mr. P,” left a Rimini hospital on Thursday after being admitted a week ago, CNN reports.

“The family brought him home yesterday evening,” Lisi told Italian publication Rimini Today. “To teach us that even at 101 years, the future is not written.”

His quick recovery has been deemed “truly extraordinary,” Lisi said, and gives “hope for the future.”

Not only did he survive the novel coronavirus disease, the man, born in 1919, also survived the Spanish flu pandemic, which killed between 20 and 50 million people around the world.

True where I live anyway...

When we were allowed to leave the house and exercise outdoors, I didn't see many do it outside of the summer. Now we're only allowed to go out once a day (up to 1 hour) to exercise, lots more people have taken up walking/jogging/whatever.

One positive thing is that it's definitely encouraging people to exercise outdoors

No, outer suburbs, but here it's pretty much densely populated a little bit like inner city, I believe you call it row houses? (I call it terraced housing, and they might be smaller than you expect) not big houses spread out.

Not good news, but inspirational to some, I'm sure

More like "stupid", he may be less of a pain in the azz than many, to be honest, but I don't know the guy, could be, especially if he's a junkie?

Bonfires are not uncommon in the countryside, the guy who owns the gym I go to, has them regularly, and invites the neighbors, he is also 41, it's not him (I was surprised I didn't the know the person, but this is WAY out in the sticks).

This is surely someone I went to school with, would do though.

I see more people in our area out walking the dog, jogging, etc. than I have since moving here. Everyone is keeping their distance but it's still nice to see.
