Slight tweak to the suggestion, but here it is.

"Obviously it was established yesterday that we are scientifically illiterate on here "

Or were they acknowledging that all the wisdom on this thread shows how scientifically illiterate some people on the other threads are?

fartingsparkles · 07/07/2020 13:20

@jourdain lovely to see you again. Glad you're making your way through.

@jrobhatch29 welcome! Your situation is appalling and I think you should definitely complain. A raised temp could be any number of things, but the fact that it is a sign of infection (generally I mean, not bloody covid) should be taken into consideration at 9 weeks pp. The likelihood is that is simply was standing in the warmth, but you should have been checked out, especially with the pain you are suffering. Big hugs.

If I wear a mask do you the i get to choose which grandparent I get to bring back? My nana was lovely, although she would be 106 now, so probably deserving of a rest. My other grandma was...not very pleasant so if I can leave her be please.

Grin I’ll take that interpretation!

It won't let me quote a quoter but Grin at this!

InsaneInTheViralMembrane
Every time a pre-schooler has their tonsils out a granny dies.
Apparently if I wear a mask of virtue at least one of my Grannies will come back to life.

I was actually considering having a little flounce from the thread over the mask thing (I genuinely think you should all wear them I KNOW, I KNOW, I'M SORRY Wink) but you're all just too fucking funny and can't flounce Grin

I've never met one of my grannies so I'm looking forward to that. As I wear a mask you see (don't science at me, I'm too tired) I will get to meet my nan, you will all be jealous as you fail at resurrection

Seriously though, there is a mask situation KICKING OFF BIG TIME at DH's work Shock I'm really vicariously enjoying it, he keeps texting me Maskgate Updates.

PS @Jourdain11 good to hear from you but grrrrr re infections. You will have to keep us updated on the hair situation, wait for everyone you ever meet ever telling you it will grow back curly Grin Mine doesn't, it's like a fucking toilet brush. There's a MN style toilet brush thread, right there.

PPS Still not allowed to see my friend, I'm hoping the self isolation for two weeks will be scrapped and I'm thinking that if I actually do strictly shield for two weeks, the hospital might make an exception and let me see her even if it's from the doorway in full hazmat suit. Well I'm pinning my hopes on it and it's making me feel better.

God, imagine the threads on here about the politics of deciding which granny to bring back to life?

As my grannies are still alive, do I get a mask pass? Or do I have to be altruistic and bring back someone else’s granny?

TheGreatWave · 07/07/2020 13:29

The daft thing is that a high temp could be a sign of an infection and should have been checked out instead of being attributed to covid-

I think I was actually quite flippant in my earlier post. It is actually quite scary that someone could be very ill and have an associated temperature but it is just brushed off as possible covid and they are told to just stay at home.

Well, seeing as you're on this thread obviously you're not altruistic anyway, you're literally causing sadly deaths and Giant Doctors judges you anyway. So it's up to you, just remember if you don't, you've not just let yourself down, you've let the class of dead nanas down.

The First Minister has explained why there is still not plan for how schools will reopen in September.

Parents across Wales are waiting to find out what sort of education their children will be returning to in the autumn term with the Welsh Government still not having published its plans.

This is great Hmm- no plan will have something in next week and a bit maybe. There seems to be no understanding that maybe people will need time to both implement and work around their plans.

Bollss · 07/07/2020 13:40

Pubs are a pox on society.

Fuuuuck me isn't this site full of happy little sausages.

How fucking miserable their life must be.

Ibake · 07/07/2020 13:41

Howling at all of you, your irreverence has reached new highs today.

@BubbleIsNotAFuckingVerb, you try to be cross with us, non-conforming granny killers that we are, but you just love us too much.

Can someone get the formula sorted out for the new thread, I saw the various efforts and immediately went all algebra dyslexic so am no use.

Nihiloxica · 07/07/2020 13:41

Quick - someone put up our equation thread! I'm excited for this one.

That is properly shit about school in Wales.

We have all our restart plans published by the schools and a commitment to reduce social distancing by mid-September.

BogRollBOGOF · 07/07/2020 13:42

Page 40, we need to perfect our equation for the next thread.
I never could do balanced equations. That was definitely where maths and I part company Grin
I prefer to keep letters in words where they belong. Even other languages. But not subjecting them to mathamatical processes.

InsaneInTheViralMembrane · 07/07/2020 13:44

@Jrobhatch29 that’s bloody outrageous! Surely one of the signs of infection is a raised temperature? 🤬

@Ibake 100% with you. Virus gonna do what virus gonna do - and it make take one of us with it, but what can we do? Can’t hold back the tide.

@MaxNormal I wondered how SA was getting on. Watched district 9 the other night and my kids were shocked by the poverty levels. Before the mn massive start : no, I am not comparing poverty-stricken South Africans to aliens!

That fucking pub meme is giving me the rage and I don’t even go to bloody pubs.

Sadly, that's the tenor of my FB feed.

Nihiloxica, thank you for the compliment. I've got lots more like that, but few in Australia appear to appreciate them.

Pleasedontdothat · 07/07/2020 13:45

@BubbleIsNotAFuckingVerb but do you think we should all wear masks whenever we’re outside - even if there’s no one around I could possibly be breathing on/sadly murdering? I hate them but if there is good evidence that they would help in certain situations I’ll (reluctantly) wear one - but I’m not going to slap on a mask when it can’t do anything other than make me hot and bothered/smugly virtuous...

Shodan · 07/07/2020 13:46

Erm...has anyone done a new thread yet?

I mean I would, but equations aren't my thing...

LadyOfTheImprovisedBath · 07/07/2020 13:48

Is this the wanted equation?

D = fn + (p x 0) then AD = - fn - (p x 0)

if it is and no-one done next thread - I'll do next one

Paradiseinportugal · 07/07/2020 13:48

The headline. Mark Drakeford reveals his thinking. That's an out and out lie. He cannot and does not think.
The schools have been closed since March, how much time does this dickhead need.

Exactly this! Since schools closed in March they’ve known that they’re going to reopen at some point. So fucking plan for it!! Yes those plans may have to be tweaked, but don’t just wait until 3 days before the kids are due to go back and say ‘argh it’s all too complicated’. Fucking idiot.
