It’s no secret that the media is almost entirely composed of COVID-19 related headlines and not many of them are positive. Although this outbreak should be taken seriously and deserves all of the media coverage it has received, I decided that there has to be some positivity in the news somewhere. Just as it’s important to take care of your physical health during this time, taking care of your mental health is equally necessary. Here is a list of some positive headlines related to COVID-19 to hopefully lift your spirits during this time. I would like to disclaim that finding these was more difficult than expected, and really made me realize just how intense the coronavirus coverage actually is.
