Slight tweak to the suggestion, but here it is.

I would love an equation because it will drive the Ds nuts trying to work it out.

Teateaandmoretea · 06/07/2020 21:26

The thing that is winding me up at the minute is dementors have 2 distinct and contrary positions:

  • everyone who goes out is an idiot, lack of social distancing will be the end of all of us. ADs are selfish twats who dare to question this.
  • the reason the cases have gone down so much is because we have all been socially distancing. Ease up and it’ll go through the roof.

🤔

@Teateaandmoretea that is indeed paradoxical.

I'm happy to report meeting a closet AD across the road from me. She said it wasn't the done thing to admit it but she's over it all now. I told her I was out and proud.

Hello. Please may I join in? I've been reading these threads for weeks but haven't been brave enough to jump in. (Bear with me, I'm not very familiar with posting on internet forums).
All this covid stuff is doing my head in, so much that I've finally joined mumsnet.
Hit a new low today when I had to wear not one but two masks at the same time to do something at work that wasn't actually that risky in terms of catching you-know-what.
Was told yesterday that there will be a second wave in October, and it's true because Matt Wanksock personally briefed someone who works for the NHS who knows my mum.
My mum forgets I work for the NHS too. I'm still waiting for my personal briefing from Our Dear Leader.
Although if he were to turn up (no doubt with his pink tie tucked into his shirt, wearing a mask, & sleeves rolled up, pretending to look like a consultant on a ward round) I will happily shout, "TWO METRES!" at him and add a "BACK OFF!" for good measure.
There, I feel better now.
Thank you for these posts, & I'm thinking of everyone who is struggling right now.

I think that the Ds have forgotten D day, Beaches, Protests, Non essential shops opening. All of which have not led to spikes.

It seems to me that there is a certain type of D who wants to micromanage everyone and is really rather nasty.

Pure cognitive dissonance
BakewellTarts · 06/07/2020 21:35

@TheOrchidKiller welcome. I don't believe in a second wave. I am more of the view that there will be local hotspots and action. But could be wrong. I don't work for the NHS though and have no inside track on our beloved leaders thoughts.

Yes!! I've thought this all along.

People are breaking the ruuuuuuuuules. But when you say, yeah but cases are going down. And they say, yes, because of lock down. But surely if so many people are rule breaking, it can't be because of that can it?

So which is it?!

If Wanksock KNOWS there is WILL be a second wave in October, not September and not November then he or someone he knows must be orchestrating it.

Ibake · 06/07/2020 21:39

Wtaf is that?!

Forgotten what? It never happened on here don't know what you are talking about. You're just stirring things you nasty AD you.😉
BakewellTarts · 06/07/2020 21:39

Yes I've seen that too...better than some of the propoganda around. Still garbage though.

@Willitneverend that's awful!!

People are awful I now realise.

DS wouldn't help me pick up litter today as he was too scared to touch the Corona infected rubbish. It's sad.

countrygirl99 · 06/07/2020 21:43

Rubberdinghy Ds claim that most people (aka everyone except them) are ignoring lockdown and are the idiots in description 1 but at the same time claim that we are only low because we aren't going out. Is that right tea ?

Teateaandmoretea · 06/07/2020 21:45

Yep exactly. Maybe they are the key disease vectors.

LOL

Yes, I noticed this earlier to my amusement.

The reason cases are low is the non-existent lockdown Grin

Ha some dick on my fb posted this

Can anyone think of a witty response ? Cos I can't think of any other response than "bore off with your miserable dementoring"
