Some Good News

Thanks to Nichole Tyson, pediatric/adolescent ob/gyn, for alerting me to Some Good News, a 15” YouTube video starring John Krasinski (The Office) as a news anchor who features real-life feel good stories from around the world. From www.boston.com: “Without question, we are all going through an incredibly trying time,” Krasinski said. “But through all the anxiety, all the confusion, all the isolation and all the ‘Tiger King,’ (the newest Netflix binge watch), somehow the human spirit found a way to break through and blow us all away.” Krasinski shared uplifting videos including people applauding health care workers, a man who mowed his neighbor’s lawn, and a man who left bottles of hand sanitizer and rolls of toilet paper out on his porch for delivery truck workers to take. He also interviewed a 15-year old girl named Coco, whose town lined a street to cheer for her as she arrived home following her final chemotherapy treatment. He closed the show with this: “No matter how tough life can get, there’s always good in the world.” Maybe more episodes to come, but even if not, this one packs a punch.
