Hospital staff are now being literally everything & everyone to their patients. Angels walk among us.

That's exactly what society needs to be doing for the thousands of workers who are dedicated and who risk their lives to work long hours, & those in food stores, gas stations, supermarkets, pubic works etc.. We are tired of listening to the politicians blaming each other & lies!

🙏

Ps 91: 2 I will say to Jehovah: My hope, and my castle; My God, whom I will trust. He will deliver you from the hunter's snare, From the destructive plague. With its feathers it will cover you, And under its wings you will be safe; Shield and buckler is his truth. You will

Practice what you preach

Bless you and hope you will take care of your safety.

The Selfless of Pure Heart and Soul ! Thank You !

If they don't practice social distancing why should we. They are the walking germ infested humans

Finally something encouraging from a media outlet that stokes the fear.

These Doctors, Nurses, EMT's, Medics, Staff cleaning hospital rooms ➡️ ARE ALL F&%!ING HEROES! Thank you for what you do. 🙏🏻

No

Positive words create a positive mind, a positive mind creates a good environment.

This news link brings you to this article which is nothing about the current tweet.

Okay I love the video and click on your link in your tweet and you bring it to an article about a musician passing away. I'm not trying to downplay that but you just totally used this as clickbait. BePositive still gets a shout out despite ABC News reckless reporting.

Good thought

Something positive: In a parallel universe where we’re all living, Trump lost in 2016 and COVID19 was handled professionally and promptly.

In November the Country will be SAFE again! The most Positive thing in the world! VoteBlue to save America! VoteBlue to save the World! But don't forget: TrumpOwnsEVERYDeath

I'm positive I won't have a house to live in if we stay in lockdown much longer.
