1. There's a new trend where people drive to hospitals at night and
flash their headlights
to support healthcare workers. About 50 cars pulled up to a hospital in Oklahoma Friday night. And hundreds showed up at a
hospital in Kentucky
on Sunday.
2. 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.
3. In less than 100 hours, engineers from the
Mercedes Formula One
team took an ordinary CPAP machine, like people use when they have sleep apnea. And they tweaked it to help people with the virus stay OFF ventilators. They're about to start testing dozens of them, and should be able to roll them out fast if they work.
4. The FDA cleared the way for a company in Ohio to
disinfect more reusable facemasks
. They were only allowed to do 10,000 a day at first. But they said they could do 160,000 a day. So the FDA cleared some red tape to make it happen.
5. 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 in really bad shape. He was even on full life support for a while.
While he was fighting it, his
doctors and nurses would write daily goals
for him to read on a window in his room. And at the bottom, they'd write, “We WILL get you home.”
Well, they kept their promise. He's now RECOVERED. And before he went home, he wrote something for THEM that's going viral. He thanked them for being “rock stars” and working so hard around the clock. And he said it's changed him as a person to know there are, quote, “such wonderful people dedicated to the care and concern of others.”
