Howdy! 
So in addition to my last forum post and inspired by Peter and Gemma's good news about an elderly relative who has survived their infection with the Coronavirus I thought I'd reach out and see if anyone would care to share any good Covid-19 stories they might have personal experience of?!
A community coming together? A relative beating their infection? Little acts of kindness being offered? Perhaps you've reached out to someone you hadn't heard from in a while? Maybe you realised how lucky you are to have what you have?
Anyone have any good Covid stories they'd care to share?     |

My nan has been cocooning since the start of march and she hasnt been to the library to get books. i put out a small plea on the ould tinternets because she needs large print books due to her eyesight. A lovely lady that works ina nursing home offered to send her down books and wouldnt take a cent off me for them and another lady that works with the library is gonna deliver books to her on wednesday. nan is overjoyed |

I'd like to share something if it doesn't sound so lick arsy
When I joined this community I didnt know what to expect.
I'll never meet most of you but I'll to say that some people on here are the most generous people with the time and effort they make in making a newbie feel welcome.It cant be easy for some of the couples and women especially with the amount of messages they get but unless I'm a completely stupid feckin idiot you welcomed me into the forums
I fucked up once ( still embarrassed thinking about it ) but she messaged me politly and i apologised so hopefully ok.
So yes thats my good news that while people are experiencing the worst thing we'll ever go throught...decent people still exist

My Dad 81 and step mother 81 both with underlying conditions were admitted to hosp and confirmed positive. I hadn't seen them for weeks and delighted to say both came through and received the all clear and SM can resume her chemotherapy treatment.
I had a social distance quick visit to them last week and she is looking stunning complete with her signature red lippy.
That's my little contribution... |

Setting aside the all the covid worry and strife, I’ve never been happier, working from home and spending the best time with my family. It probably doesn’t count as particularly good news but it’s good for me (and hopefully my kids and himself).

I have to agree with this (although I'm not working from home and separated from Lee), this bonus time with my two eldest who were at uni is wonderful, especially my son who had been abroad for the last year and had grown up quite a bit in that time. |

Some lovely stories there. I personally hope not many restrictions will be lifted as I dont think we're out of the woods at all. However I'm loving spending time with my girls usually someone always rushing somewhere or I get a 'dont keep me dinner going out to eat' txt! More walking and talking time which is always good |

Op well done it's lovely to hear good news instead of oh will clubs open again or socials go ahead some people are grieving and not in a normal way and others have watched loved ones fight for their lives and survive without them allowed to sit beside them so when yer worried about getting the ride again think outside the circle it will happen no rush  |
