Good news is coming out about COVID-19!

There's a steady dose of negative news out there but GROOVE LIFE shared some good news coming out about COVID-19.

Note: We've linked the original articles under each point and have an important notice at the end of this post.

1. Full recoveries:

There are 147 full recoveries of the COVID-19 virus in the United States. Maybe even more encouraging is that of the current 19,969 active cases ONLY 64, or 0.003% of those cases are considered serious or critical. (See Source Here and we recognize these numbers are changing daily)

2. No new cases in China:

For the first time since the virus broke out, there have been no new cases of COVID- 19 in China during the last 24 hours. YAY!!!!!!! (See Article Here)

3. South Korea's dramatic drop in new cases:

After its peak of 909 newly reported COVID-19 cases on February 29th, South Korea has now seen a dramatic drop in the number of new cases reported daily. (See Article Here)

4. Other drugs working:

Doctors in India have successfully treated two Italian patients with COVID-19, by administering a combination of drugs — principally Lopinavir and Ritonavir, alongside Oseltamivir and Chloroquine. Several are now suggesting the same medical treatment, on a case-by-case basis, globally. (See Articles Here)

5. Antibodies to the rescue

Researchers at the Erasmus Medical Center claim to have found an antibody that can fend off infection by COVID-19. (See Article Here)

7. Retail reopening in China:

42 Apple stores are reopening to the public in China. Other retailers are expected to follow. (See Article Here)

8. Mortality rates may be inflated?

Experts predict that Italy has seen a higher mortality rate of COVID-19 given its significant aging population, as well as its higher percentage of COVID-19 patients with pre-existing health conditions. This might suggest that COVID-19’s fatality rate may have been slightly more inflated than previously thought for the general population. (See Article Cleveland’s MetroHealth Medical Center has developed a COVID-19 test that can now deliver results in just two hours, rather than in a matter of days. (See Article Here)

There are a lot of very smart people working on this. Don’t lose hope! God is in control and we have the choice to stay positive!

Important: While we find this news to be uplifting and give us hope, we are not medical researchers and suggest you check out the source links we included for yourself. Please be safe and continue to follow all quarantine and other recommended measures by those in local and national government as well as the medical community.
