In such an uncertain and mournful time, it is hard to maintain a positive outlook on life. However, it is vital for our mental health to try to focus on some benefits of quarantine, or we might just lose it. John Krasinski, notable for his role in The Office as Jim, has taken into consideration bringing light to people’s drowsy days. He has created a weekly feel-good YouTube show called “Some Good News “(SGN). Here, he brings well, some good news.
