by Leya Davydov How often do you catch yourself thinking about how the human race ended up stuck in such an epidemic? Maybe you’re caught up in your own devastating boredom, or maybe you’re contemplating the end of human civilization as we know it. Maybe you find yourself somewhere in the middle of that range. Still, no matter where you fall on the scale, it becomes apparent that the real world has come out of sight. Although it may be hard to believe, especially at this time of crisis, all sorts of acts of good are being performed. People are Sending Cards to Nursing Home Residents
With COVID-19’s serious threat to the elderly, visitation has become extremely limited. Even still, people find a way to send their love across. Through letters, cards, and drawings, people express their greetings and well wishes towards the elderly. Although seniors may find themselves worried and lonely, these cards help brighten up their lives ever so much, making them feel loved. Not only are just loved ones sending cards, all sorts of people are. Even in times of devastation, such as this one, human compassion still prevails and brightens the lives of others. I feel that it’s comforting to know that we still have means of brightening people’s lives without using technology even when we are under this quarantine.
Wine Flows From Faucets in Italy
In the northern Italian town of Castelvetro, wine flowed from the faucets of sinks and bathtubs due to the malfunction of the Cantina Settecani winery. Although the malfunction was prominent, nobody seemed to find it dangerous or scary at all whatsoever. It was more amusing than anything else. The malfunction only lasted for a few spare hours, but plenty of residents got to experience the once in a lifetime accident. In a way, it also brought some sense of unity for the people of the town. The deputy mayor even made a remark, saying that he was pleased that people had found something to laugh and be a bit more happier about.
Researchers Have Found A Way To Reuse Masks During Pandemic
Due to the coronavirus outbreak, masks have been fleeing shelves left and right. Unfortunately, masks can not be reused, making the finding of new ones quite difficult once you’ve used all yours up. Researchers in North Carolina, though, have found an alternative. Using hydrogen peroxide, they intend to kill off all sorts of germs, including viruses, as well as keep the original material of the mask. With these new masks, they hope to help hospital employees who desperately need them to treat patients. The researchers hope to stand up to the state to make these available. They know that although this will not make a severely huge impact, just being able to reuse a mask once or twice could help the shortage just a little more.
