A Bit Of Good News In These

difficult times. The UK government asked for 250 thousand volunteers
to help the NHS, neighbours, run medical goods to hospitals and much much more. The response has been remarkable, in 24 hours
450 thousand have volunteered. Isn't that amazing..

indeed it is, but thought that in this environment i would post it, as a way of saying that many people are good and that a tiny minority not so good.
