By: Priya MigneaultQuinn Roney, a Boy Scout from Canada, has been printing out dozens of ear guards to donate to medical professionals from his 3D printer. The guards attach to the elastics at the back of medical masks and prevent excessive tension on the ears that can sometimes result in dents, bruising, and even cuts. He printed them off his at home 3D printer and is encouraging others, if they can, to do the same. The file to print them has been shared over 277,000 times and can be located here. Another story that is closer to home has been the trending #heartsforhealthcareworkers, where families and those isolated at home are putting hearts up on their doors and windows to show support for healthcare workers on the front lines of this pandemic. These hearts have been popping up all across Alberta and the world. But that's not the only way people around the globe are celebrating healthcare workers, in Italy police officers applauded and turn their sirens on outside a hospital in an combined effort to show appreciation to the staff. There have been numerous events like this happening everywhere, from applause to donated meals people are showing up to help those in the medical field. On the other side of the globe Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern of New Zealand has announced on Monday that both the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny are essential workers during this pandemic. "I say to the children of New Zealand, if the Easter Bunny doesn't make it to your household, we have to understand that it's a bit difficult at the moment for the bunny to perhaps get everywhere," she said. PM Jacinda also announced that children should take a lead in helping the Easter Bunny by making drawings of easter egg's for their windows.
