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!

MichaelMumsnet are you monitoring this thread (in the style of a KGB agent)...or reading it for fun?

Bring it on

Just saw I was deleted fur a pretty innocuous comment. Not impressed with the vigorous monitoring on this thread. Will you be as vigilant with the other threads on this board mhhq?

@Pomegranatespompom

What a shame this thread has reported when I’ve seen far worse on others. Fair idea where this stemmed from 🙁

Have a margarita @Inastatus

The briefing is quite cheerful. I do find Sir Simon quite cheering too 😳

Nuts isn’t it.

Pom did he say anything about Feb 22 announcement? Is it still this date

Ah, thanks for the support folks 😊

He just said more to come next week, let’s not take out foot off the peddle yada yada
Someone just asking a school question now. Asking if a gap with opening other things after schools, Boris says he does not have ‘sufficient clarity’ today but hopes will be clearer on 22nd.

Ignore that a poster on another thread making me stressed

He’s reiterated 22nd

I wish they would. I’ve reported so many recently, nothing happens.

Chris needs to be a Sir. He’s brilliant.

Chris has so much patience with Boris.

I did my 2nd shift yesterday as a vaccine marshall, which really lifts my spirits. (Last week they fell pretty quickly as last Monday felt like a particularly gloomy news day, but they're holding up today!) It's just lovely interacting with people who, by and large, are cheerful!

I was volunteering at a small pharmacy in a medium sized town and yesterday they vaccinated almost 400 people. The pharmacists administering the jabs worked solidly for 12 hours other than a couple of half hour breaks. So impressive.

(I'm mostly a lurker on these threads but hopefully there's a corner of the picnic blanket spare....I make a mean sausage roll, if that helps?!)

Come and sit down Cornish...have a lindt ball.

@DobbyTheHouseElk we raised our heads about schools. Guessing this in back of that.

Really poor & strange.

Bloody hell. What’s going on? This is a lovely thread.

Some really nasty stuff around at the moment and they don’t get deleted.

Ooh, I'd love one thanks!

Grass snakes and monitor lizards can abound in picnic sites.

Only just realised that pomegranate’s post was also deleted 🙁

Exactly that - I’ve seen some really nasty posts and behaviour on other threads.

Abyway back to positive - 2nd doses to start early March.

Passes @CornishYarg a margarita

@tobee 😅

@Inastatus doesn’t make sense as it’s there for all to see on the actual thread 🙄

I had one poster hound me for months when I pointed it out I was deleted. It was utterly ridiculous.

Made me laugh at how silly it was.

Kent has gone green. I think that’s wonderful news considering Kent was the epicentre of the “U.K.” variant.

I thought this was reassuring. Schools really don't drive outbreaks - it's not just Boris and his uncaring chums trying to downplay issues and push everyone back to normality. They are just not a risk in terms of pushing up community transmission. Every little bit helps, right?
