This is a thread to share all good news with regards to Covid.
We also share pictures of small furry animals and cute birds.
Posts on other random good news also gladly accepted.

Doomploppers will be met with scorn and derision!

Agree, also those predictions of people 'dropping like flies' once schools opened didn't happen either thankfully. If only there was a system where people who have needlessly caused stress and anxiety (plus some blatant lies) would come back and say, sorry. So vocal when making the predictions, strangely quiet now...

@MissConductUS Thank you for the link.

Not Covid related, but from the same lab as Oxford/AZ vaccine. You have to applaud these scientists. A vaccine for Malaria would be truly groundbreaking..... they have been trying for 100 years!!!!! I hope they get recognition for this, after all the bad press from the Covid vaccine.

I know - such amazing news!

Good news !! Hope it goes ahead soon!!

Scientists are the new super heroes

I see you the

NOT FULLY VACCINATED

OPENING SCHOOLS WILL DOOM US ALL

THIRD WAVE IMMINENT

and raise you the ROAD MAP IS SHIT

😉

It's interesting that all parties probably feel they were right!

I'm really glad we have been going with a cautious approach with testing and some mitigations like masks in secondary schools alongside the vaccine roll out, and that things have gone well so far!

wait til borders reopening...that's gonna be the back in lockdown in September

By the way, this is not supposed to be a thread for right wingers who want to take pot shots at other posters, it is supposed to be a "good news" thread for people who want to be "positive".

There isn't much positivity in sniping at people who are posting good news?

I raise you
"Chris Whitty was right to advise caution and we are seeing the benefits now!

Right wingers 🤣

Right wingers?? @herecomesthsun what an unpleasant comment to make. Perhaps optimism is the word you were looking for ?

As someone who likes a plan - I stuck the road map on the fridge 😂

Agree - scientists are amazing.

We can agree in admiring the scientists .

I think this thread was very good for balancing all the unnecessary negative threads which had no evidence base.
Absolutely correct to provide reassurance about other threads which were causing anxiety.

@herecomesthsun

I raise you "Chris Whitty was right to advise caution and we are seeing the benefits now!

Not sure you get the idea. It would have to be

WHITTY IS A TORY MINION AND DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT

or

MY HUSBAND/BEST FRIEND/NEIGHBOUR IS A EXPERT AND SAYS WHITTY IS WRONG

I get the idea though 😊

WHITTY JUST WANTS TO CLING ON TO HIS FAME AND THE MONEY HE IS GETTING!!!1!11!1111!!!

I think people get the wrong idea and think the good news thread is about being blinkered and positive bunnies all the time. When actually we tend to try and offer a more balanced approach. Granted mostly the positive angle but I feel posters are pretty honest about things.

Plus we like to prat about sometimes

@Bordois and yet he looks like someone who wants to avoid fame at all costs ...
Tracey from fb all over again 🤣

I’ve just been for a run - I don’t think I can get on my summer clothes.

@Bordois

WHITTY JUST WANTS TO CLING ON TO HIS FAME AND THE MONEY HE IS GETTING!!!1!11!1111!!!

Good one 😂

That fame hungry Whitty. It was a twilight zone moment when posters started that argument

I quite like Chris, Patrick and Sir Simon 😳

Must be my right wing ness

Is it time for this again?

That is just scary

😂 I’ve not seen that before - Matt in particular looks v special
