Campbell’s joyous antics, however, don’t deter him from his duty in any manner. If anything, this urge to spread a little joy in this time of crisis makes him more determined in his approach.

“Times are tough. We don’t take that lightly. We’re preparing very, very diligently to be ready at OHSU for what may come,” Campbell told New York Post. He added that just like many in the world he is also looking for some light moments in this otherwise dark time.
