How about a good news thread?

[jantheman]

Many with our conditions have a tendency to focus on the negative. We all know this.
How about a thread for good news? Our successes each day, or whenever we have something good? I think it would be a great way to give hope, and for others to see how we have done things to get beyond anxious times.

thats awesome news! I had one at my ex wife’s house... never got it back lol, so I’m working on getting a new one myself.

Nice job, jantheman! You've got some discipline to be able to put some away each month like that!

I consider myself real lucky. I was able to retire before 40 because I made a lot of money on stocks. I have a lovely house overlooking the beach. I pay people to pick up my prescriptions and get my meds. I have shopping delivered to my doorstep, I know the boss of the local delivery service and just give him generous tips. I'm actually doing better now than before the outbreak.

Fortunately, none of the above is true. If it was, I don't think it would make anyone feel uplifted.

I think we have to avoid making this a "self indukgence" topic.

Personally, I don't give 20 bucks and my right nutvti be hearing of folk's pay rises. I actually felt saddened to hear that one poster got a small son but is already separated from his partner.

The only person here who I truly respect is Mainer. He is helping out at a homeless shelter. This is something we should all be thinking of doing if at all possible during the restrictions. Homeless figures have rocketed and what's worse, folk can't beg in the streets no more.

So my good news is that a vaccine has been developed. This won't be in your media. It should be ready for testing on humans as early as August. It has to be tested on animals first. This is months ahead of schedule.

I envisage a situation where more than one vaccine will have been developed at the same time. China has a head start on US companies. Iran could conceivably come up with one too.

So yep, help is on its way. In any case, by the time an effective vaccine is in use, most of us will already have been exposed and not got jack ****.

Wow that's real fast! I just hope it's true

It will still take a year before it's through all the trials - there are 4 phases.

What exactly is your issue? Obviously the world isn’t in the best spot right now, but for many, it’s bringing out the very best in people.
You should take your negativity to another thread, you certainly aren’t helping this one.

i get tense vibes from some good folk here. Please try relax. Breathing exercises, meditation, yoga, a little jog.

A vaccine is on its way make no mistake.

I'm no expert scientist (I'm a scientist though). The feeling in the scientific community is that any vaccine developed so fast may not be effective. The media clip posted is not in the wider media. I would not want to be the human guinea pig taking the first shot.

Any roads, it has been approved for testing but no more than that.

Patience is key in these most trying times

Then why don’t you make a thread about it instead?
