Good News 14: Keeping our spirits up, just a bit longer.

@EasterIssland

Just seen on Twitter Someone sharing some news from the sun that those double jabbed won’t have to self isolate if in contact with a positive from the 19th-07. Hope that’s true !! And hope children don’t have to neither (my son goes to private nursery and dreading these weeks to our holiday )

Just my luck my eldest gets covid 20 days before they bring that in (if it happens of corse)

I’m just waiting for my 15 minutes after my second jab and thought I’d share with you all how lovely it is here. It’s full of young, smiley, polite people - I would guess mostly 18-21 year olds. All incredibly trendy too, I feel like such a mum 😂

Congrats Autumn, and how lovely about the young people!

Autumn it was like that when I got mine. I was just about styling it out... right up until the point my knees creaked audibly when I stood up.

Great to see that masks work - this is actual, real good news!

A kick in the teeth for the deniers.

OMG do really think that properly fitted FFP3 masks are the same as the crappy bits of paper you buy 3 for a pound from Tesco

I’ll give you this Nanny, you’ve been absolute comedy gold the last few months, really given me several much needed laughs.

All hail the Whitty.

So annoyed by those people harassing him, but that's not good news so I'll just say I think he's a diamond!

Ending restrictions if the hospitals can cope is not good news??

I would call it good news @EasterIssland

I think she meant him being hassled isnt good news @EasterIssland

Im ]half asleep though so not 100% sure.

Pah! What does he know? Someone on twitter says that there will be 11m cases a day next week and we will all be dead or bedbound with eternal covid by the 32nd of August anyway...

(I think they meant Whitty being harrasssed isn't good news)

sorry for the confusion if that's the case :D not 100% myself neither :)

Waiting for the usual suspects to appear and tell us why we now shouldn’t be listening Whitty anymore.

I did! Sorry for confusion

Ending restrictions/hospitals coping yay!
Whitty bothering boo.

Oh I see! Sorry @EasterIssland I get what you mean now!

I have total baby/pregnancy brain so I am misreading things left right and centre at the moment!

@Bordois you crack me up

Sorry 4 being thick but why can't I see the Chris whitty article?

I think the DM particularly is putting a lot of spin on what he’s said. He said that opening up could go ahead this summer and to make the most of it because ‘the winter will be much more difficult’. I Can’t help but feel he has been backed into a corner here, especially with that video of the thugs harassing him, he can hardly come out and say it’s a mistake can he? He’s said to be cautiously optimistic…

Perhaps Freedom day is the new eat out to help out?

Just read the Times article behind the paywall and it's almost identical to the Mail. It does sound positive.

These gloomy people just can’t keep away from this thread for some reason!

@Thewiseoneincognito will you lot SHUT UP

He has not said ‘make the most of it’ - he has said winter will be harder. Which it will. But nothing to suggest another lockdown or whatever it is you want.

You can’t even take the CMO being positive as you know, positive….

14 deaths today, positive that they aren’t going crazy high!

@Notsowise well said 👏
