The good news of Coronavirus

Phones are getting flooded by news notification after notification. Televisions across homes are breaking news that everyone is sick of hearing about; The Coronavirus.

There seems to be no news outlet out there that does not produce content about Coronavirus. This content could get tiring and potentially damaging to mental health. However, there is some good news that people seem to miss.

1. A-Listers come to the rescue 

Many celebrities have taken it into their own hands to help hospitals and fans when it comes to the virus.

Kylie Jenner donated around $1 million to LA hospitals to help with purchasing of protective gear. Rihanna also donated $5 million to various organizations.

Ariana Grande has also been paying fans $500-$1000 to many fans to help cover their salaries.

2. Workouts from rooftops. 

Think that staying in quarantine means that you can't hit the gym? Well, think again. Residents from Copenhagen were seen exercising from their balconies

3. The flower man. 

Many non-essential businesses had to close, meaning any small business or local shop. A mystery man from Massachusetts bought all the flowers in a local flower shop before they were forced to close. He then proceeded to distribute the flowers to the residents of his hometown.

4. The homeless in London get temporary homes. 

The mayor of London ordered for 300 rooms to be booked for the homeless. Now the homeless have a place to sleep and be away from the virus spreading in the outside world.

5. Go outside and take a deep breath. 

there has been a drastic decline in air pollution, due to the mass number of people staying home and working from home. The pollution has also gone down significantly from last year and this is because of the lack of nitrogen dioxide produced from cars and power plants.

6. Graduation is cancelled, but the Valedictorian still stands. 

Many seniors are wondering if their graduation will be canceled and the ones that have gotten the somber news are wondering where to go from here. A Michigan high school principal decided to personally drive to the fast-food chain that the senior class' valedictorian was working at and deliver the news to her personally.

7. A big tip for a restaurant worker!

With many sit-down restaurants having to close, employees were wondering what to do with their finances when they will be laid off. 20 employees at a local restaurant in Florida each took home $500 from the $10,000 that came from an anonymous tipper.

Certainly, these are not the exhaustive list of the good news among all the bad, but these are sure to crack a smile in the worried facial expressions. The virus is serious but that does not mean there is no room out there for some good news. So smile a little as you read these because life is too short to spend it worrying.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
