Small Positive Things Happening in Midst of Coronavirus

 

Thoughtful Images Worn By Doctors

Medical staff are wearing some pretty scary looking gear (to protect themselves and patients). As they help treat patients who have Covid-19, it can feel very cold and scary for patients. The health care workers know this so they decided to create tags to wear that includes a picture of them smiling in normal clothes and their name. This has really helped ease patient’s stress. One emergency doctor said that patients seem to feel reassured with the comforting smile he wears. 

 

Run for Heroes

In these self isolating times, most countries are only allowing for once a day outdoor exercises. There has been an organization that’s come together so your daily exercise can be filled with meaning. Run for Heroes is asking that people run 5k, donate £5, and nominate five of their friends to do the same challenge. So far, this idea has morphed into £75,000 to go towards NHS staff that are treating patients who have been affected by Covid- 19.
