Not leaving home leaves plenty of time to spend with your pets.

Were sure youre up to date with all the bad news thats been circulating. Stocks are down. Schools are closed. People are under orders to stay home, etc. With all the depressing news of the last month or two, were almost certain youve been missing out on some of the good things that have happened around the world. That being said, the editorial board presents you with 10 positive things to briefly distract you from all the negative headlines.

You heard us right, ladies and gents. Jack Black is on TikTok. Whether youre a fan of his or not, this is probably going to be a wild and entertaining ride.

Across the world, people are recovering from COVID-19. Wuhan, China the site of the first outbreak is largely on the mend. Meanwhile, in Italy, a 101-year-old man recovered from the virus and was released from the hospital he was being treated in. Elsewhere, people are making similar recoveries.

Thats right college students who previously barely had time to eat, let alone cook, are now standing in front of the stove with a recipe pulled up on their phone screens. What exactly are we cooking?

With many places under orders to stay home, pets are bound to be less lonely. Their owners are at home with them, which is basically what dogs have been dreaming about forever. Cats could probably care less about this news, though they probably dont mind having their owners around to sit on.

Animal shelters have seen a large increase in people interested in fostering pets. This is great for both the pets and the people fostering them as the pets get to live with a family rather than in a shelter, and the family gets to experience the joys of having a pet.

Two years after he received a stem cell treatment to cure HIV, Adam Castillejo is still free from the virus. While doctors say that the treatment he received was high-risk and not a widespread solution, this is still by and large good news hopefully, we are moving towards finding a less invasive and more widely accessible cure.

Since the Montreal Protocol was enacted in 1987, the ozone layer has been on the mend. The protocol phased out numerous ozone depleting substances such as chlorofluorocarbons, and its clear now that this made a positive change for the ozone layer. The atmospheric presence of these substances is declining, allowing the ozone layer to heal itself.
