A Little Bit of Awesome: 3/31/2020 Edition

38-year-old Nic Brown was one of the first people in Ohio to get sick.  He ended up in the ICU at Cleveland Clinic, and was on life support for a while.  While he was fighting the virus, his doctors and nurses wrote daily goals for him to read on a window in his room.  And at the bottom, they wrote, “We WILL get you home.”  Well, they kept their promise, and he’s now RECOVERED.  But before he went home, he wrote a long thank-you note on the same window, which you can see a photo of RIGHT HERE.


The owner of a café in Melbourne, Australia saw how many people were lined up for unemployment.  So he went to the bank, took out $10,000, and gave everyone a hundred bucks to buy groceries.


This guy in the UK is going to extremes to sneak out of the lockdown. His neighbor’s filmed it, and they may be in on the joke because he’s dressed up as a bush to prank people in the past.


A guy posted video of himself playing beer pong . . . alone.  He put a bunch of Solo cups on a table next to a window, and then bounced ping-pong balls from the table to the window and back.  You gotta fight the boredom right?


19 members of an orchestra in the Netherlands recorded Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy” from their homes, and posted the finished version online. One of the bright spots in this whole pandemic is the amount of music being shared and the way it’s being done. Just awesome.
