New Thread. - Hello.

I guess if the non-vulnerable person has symptoms & tests positive and they move out they are more likely to spread the lurgy to another household, so perhaps that's why they have to stay put?

But if the vulnerable person has been in the same household as the infected person they could theoretically be brewing it even if asymptomatic, so if they move out surely they could potentially infect the other household?

Although if you are shielding exactly as they prescribe you should not even be making eye contact with each other, so they are probably assuming you won't catch it from your ill partner.

If you're vulnerable & move in with another family does that make you immune to catching it off the other family, then?
Problem solved! Let's just all move in with other people!

DS has just returned from school. Yr 12 but the first time he's been in since lockdown. Probably the last time before September, too. They had a mock exam.

I asked what school was like, was it very different because of social distancing etc? Apparently, apart from bigger spaces between the exam desks the only difference was some trees had been cut down outside school & one of his mates now has a car. (visions of The Inbetweeners).

@Cattermole that's put me off the penguin I was just about to get out of the cupboard. (Biscuit, not seabird)

My year ten would prefer part time scrolling after the summer so as can have a lie in some days. Is not an early riser in common with many teens. they usually start pretty early- 8.20 which means leaving at 7.30. Not great on dark mornings.

Haha, now starting to think of the benefits of part time / being at home. For some of the older ones who can cope with home learning can see some advantages. Different for primary though.

Schooling, although is quite a lot of scrolling to be fair

@Worldgonecrazy Bloody Nora. That’s awful. Who thinks like that?!

TBH, mine would too. She doesn't like school anyway, though is achieving well, and has kept up her school work throughout. She is absolutely terrible in the mornings and actually about 1/10 days refuses to go anyway.

But that's her. Many of her friends are hating it, and she's only able to do the work as her school has been amazing at supporting them to learn remotely. I've been extremely impressed.

But for thousands of others, it's not the solution.

That’s awful. Who thinks like that?!

^the good people - the ones who care about grannies & nurses. They care so much they want us all to bully children.

or maybe they are utterly neurotic & think their fear is justification for bullying children. Or they could be momentumites/rabid-remainers who hate Boris/Tories so much that that's reason enough to call for children to bullied.

I guess it must make sense to them somehow.

I did. Then I succumbed....

Patricia yes, there are some studies showing teens get on better with a later start and some countries do this...so may not only be ours. More here, quite interesting www.sleepfoundation.org/articles/teens-and-sleep

Our school have started doing group lessons online Google meet sessions, things like that which is helpful but yes they need some times in school too.

"Teens’ natural sleep cycle puts them in conflict with school start times. Most high school students need an alarm clock or a parent to wake them on school days. They are like zombies getting ready for school and find it hard to be alert and pay attention in class. Because they are sleep deprived, they are sleepy all day and cannot do their best.

Schools that have set later bell times find that students do not go to bed later, but get one hour more of sleep per school night, which means five hours more per week.

Enrollment and attendance improves and students are more likely to be on time when school starts. Parents and teachers report that teens are more alert in the morning and in better moods; they are less likely to feel depressed or need to visit the nurse or school counselor."

Fuck me, some people are never happy. Sunak announces vouchers for half price food/drink and people are queuing up to say how crap it is and how they wouldn't be eating out anyway.

Well I'm using mine. Who's with me?

I normally am the worst kind of Terry Thomas for an innuendo but I didn't spot the flaw in Rishi's dining plan. Luckily the internet has not let me down.

Think my favourite's might be Go Down For Your Town and Flaps For Carers

Probably- if it is half price - have a nice cafe I can take the DC to nearby

I'm incredibly upset by that post - I've reported it but no doubt the poster will think she's perfectly justified in attacking children & is no doubt on the right side of history.

Well that was that ordeal over.
Yet another smashed tooth been built up.
I wish he’d made a bit whiter
Anyway he did a sterling job considering dentists set off my ptsd

After he’d numbed it a zillion times I started to not shake
Imagine doing a quiet sob
I thought bloody hell im going to cry and could feel tears welling up at side of eyes

I’m sure it was a fear release.not just the dentist but all the fear going around that we have to contend with

And breathe
One part of my nose is numb😁

I’ll use my voucher. Disappointed it wasn’t £500 each but realistically I knew that wouldn’t happen.

The Department for Health has announced 126 further deaths from coronavirus in the UK across all settings as of 5pm yesterday (July 7).

^down quite a lot from 176 last Wednesday. And cases too 630 (was 829).

I'm going to weep into my laundry. Why am I shocked when people are cruel & just awful?

I'll use my voucher if any places to eat are open - not sure I'll go to the effort of crossing the border to use it! Is it a one off or can one eat out for half price multiple times?

Aww, Dowser. Having a tooth done can leave anyone a bit shaken & teary. Hope you feel better soon.

Right, it's Wednesday, it's Swab Day for me. I'm in the vaccine trial so it's weekly swabs for a while. Taking my little biohazardous parcel off to the postbox now.

I just can't even be arsed. MN is living proof of the expression misery loves company. I click on the Rishi dining thread and, like an idiot, expected it to be positive. FFS! They are the most negative, dementory bunch of twats who, on discovering that they had just won the lottery would probably find something to complain about. Fuck 'em and yes, @SockYarn, you're damn right I'll be using mine - just going to have to change my 5:2 days though!

@KaronAVyrus

I will happily make up your shortfall, for the sake of the economy.

For sure DH and I will do our noble bit by eating out.

I've already been out for dinner and for a beer in a café.

If vouchers are UK-wide, I'll be spending mine.

Are you restricted as to where you can use it? I’ll use mine if it’s somewhere that I actually want to eat, otherwise I probably won’t bother.
If there are no restrictions on where then yeah we’ll probably use it on holiday in August.
