Coronavirus: The acts of kindness shown by communities

London CNN — Social distancing, self-isolation, panic-buying -- there aren’t many reasons to be cheerful right now. courtesy Charlotte Bredael Schools in the UK were told last week that they would be closing for most children, except those whose parents are “key workers.” Bredael is creating videos from her home dressed as Disney princesses for any child who is feeling down. She added: “It’s making the kids really happy and it’s also making the parents happy to see their kids happy.” Josh Ezekiel is a third year chemical engineering student at Bath University. The 20-year-old told CNN: “I’m quite lucky in that I’m doing some research and it’s done with modeling software so I can be away from the lab right now.” He added: “There were quite a lot of people who messaged me initially but then the exams ended up being canceled and I’m sure a lot of parents thought they would hold off for now.” Up until the UK government’s announcement on Monday, Ursula Stone had been making bouquets and leaving them outside Londoners’ front doors. At the time, Stone told CNN she hoped the flowers would “bring a little bit of cheer to people’s lives.” She has had to stop her arrangements since tighter restrictions were put in place in the UK around social movements.
