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!

Practice what you preach

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

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.
