I have an idea.  (Please forgive me if this is already in another thread, and I missed it.)

Could we start a thread for only POSITIVE NEWS facts?  Seems like most of the news we get lately really sucks.  I thought we could start a thread for things that resemble a "light at the end of a miserable tunnel."  Maybe pin it at the top.  

We could all use some positives since it seems like every day for the whole month of March, we kept getting gut-punching news on a daily basis.

Today, I saw 2 candidates for this kind of thread:

  1. The thread about USF health and the 3D printed swabs.  Awesome!
  2. The NCAA extending eligibility for spring athletes

It would be nice to start a running list of positive news (no speculation allowed, just facts)...

Thoughts?
