During these tough times, it can be easy to fall down the dark rabbit hole of negative news headlines, leaving us feeling anxious and helpless.
So, John Krasinski, from The Office , has taken it upon himself to spread some good news to boost morale!
Happy Monday, everyone!
If you’re anything like me, 15 days into quarantine, things are starting to look bleak.
Every news headline right seems to be negative, making it hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Naturally, it’s hard to be away from friends and family for this long.
And while it’s all for the greater good, it is getting harder and harder by the day to stay optimistic.
So far, there have been well over 700,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus, worldwide.
Roughly 37,000 of those cases resulted in death, 160,000 have recovered, and the remaining cases are still active.
