MarRister Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I think we have probably all heard enough regular boring depressing news. So I thought we could start a thread where we would only post good, uplifting, or just silly news stories from wherever! This is older news now, but these ladies got together to have a socially distanced dance party in the pandemic and got caught on camera by a police helicopter. They thought they were going to get in trouble, but the Calgary Police Service posted the video to their Facebook page as an example of good social distancing.

Rainy Robin Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 This is such a great idea! This story is also older news, but some French cafes and restaurants put teddy bears in seating to make sure everyone stays a safe distance away. They even gave the teddy bears some drinks and table settings to make everything more realistic. XD Link to post Share on other sites
