Good News Part 10 - the picnic blanket of hope and good company

[InterfectoremVulpes]

Welcome to the new thread! I will copy over links from the previous thread soon.

Please note, this is a thread to share good news and for wobblers to be reassured. Doomploppers will be met with scorn and derision!

Hope other people find this funny - criminal hands himself in rather than spend more time with the people he was living with news.sky.com/story/amp/man-hands-himself-in-as-hed-rather-be-in-jail-than-spend-any-longer-with-people-at-home-during-lockdown-12221682

Can we reference chocolate orange bunnies in the next thread title please?!

On moderating, I hope it’s ok to say that I reported a poster on a thread a good few months ago for scaremongering with obviously incorrect information on Covid, but I was informed that it was allowed to stand. I’m not one for complaining but I struggle to work out the talk guidelines sometimes...

Anyhow, more than happy to get back to the positive news!

Love the idea of bunnies in the next title. I feel I've contributed now 😂

I have gin to share also! We've started getting a craft gin box 😁

Telegraph extracts ..."Vaccines appear to cut Covid transmissions and infections by two-thirds according to the first "real world data" examining their impact, The Telegraph can disclose.
..................

Key studies led by Public Health England (PHE), involving around 40,000 healthcare workers and 9,000 care homes, will not be published until towards the end of this month...............

But the latest data from PHE will show that, critically, just one dose of either vaccine appears to block transmission of the virus by around two thirds in all age groups.

The bulk of the latest data being handed to the Government relates to the Pfizer vaccine, which began to be administered in December. But the same effect was seen in a smaller set of findings relating to the Oxford jab, which has been administered far more widely despite its rollout beginning later. .....................

Despite concerns about the effectiveness of the Oxford jab in older people, findings were similar in all age groups tracked.

@alreadytaken thank you. When this is published on a publicly available site, I shall bookmark it and post a link every time someone posts “Of course don’t stop you catching Covid and passing it on....”

Drives me up the wall.

You don't strike me as a cynical person @Wherediditgo.

How tedious these deletions are.

oh there is a doom monger on Question time being given far too much airtime.

Are we allowed to mention question time

@Inastatus

All these people who don’t want schools to re-open and want lockdown to go on for longer is one of those ‘it only happens on MN’ phenomenons I think. I don’t know one single person irl who thinks this way!

^ this. I don't know anyone who hasn't had enough now. Every teacher I know wants kids back in school, every parent I know wants their kids back too. My SIL and BIL are drs and they also can't wait for lockdown to be over and to be able to see us again.

Even the people I know who are vulnerable just want to hug their grandchildren.

Oh lordy am I going to lose my prefect badge?

And there is a labour rep who looks about 12.

Sounds more like a student union rep

Oh oh oh did you hear that?

Tory bloke saying Gav and his team working on all kids going back on 8th

Lets hope Boris doesn't stand in his way🤞

I gave up on it, the dr and the student were too irritating. Layla reminds how far libs need to improve.
I also don’t like Fiona wearing trainers.

Well you make a terrible witness then. Now I don't know if I heard it right.

Ooh did he - good. We need to prioritise children.
I quite like JL/ Liberty to open soon too.

I’d love to be a witness/ miss marple/ Agatha raisin type.
I once witnessed a drug thing - had to tell the police I saw a man sticking the drugs somewhere on him... ahem personal ... it was in the middle of the day in the city 😳 was mortifying
So yes I’d be useless.

Baby is just about walking now. So going to need shoes at some point. What to be able to take her somewhere nice. Have her feet measured and make it a special day. Little posh cafe lunch etc

No wonder some don't want schools to reopen or else where would they find all the extra time to lurk on a thread.. bizzare🥴
