That would be great @latissimusdorsi 😂😂

Maybe get me an extra long lunch so I can copy and paste that Scotgov tweet in a much more timely fashion 😆

That's the next competition.
What to put in @dancemom 's note for work?

SoMuchForSummerLove · 24/06/2021 15:54

Dancemom cannot attend work today because her internet hangers on demand her attention, and frankly, you don't fuck with the Scotsnet Crew.

latissimusdorsi · 24/06/2021 15:59

Dancemom requires an extended lunch break each day as hundreds of her disciples across Scotland are overly invested in her copying and pasting skills

ResilienceWanker · 24/06/2021 16:15

Sadly Dancemom won't be able to come in today because she will be communicating vital Scottish Government public health information to an important, yet technologically excluded demographic. (we're too lazy to look it up on twitter)

SoMuchForSummerLove · 24/06/2021 16:37

@dancemom you're the equivalent of Jason Leitch going on Off the Ball, getting to all those hard to reach audiences Grin

dancemom · 24/06/2021 16:42

🤣🤣🤣🤣
You guys actually crack me up! You will all be happy to know I have a day off tomorrow, I will be at your service at 13:59 poised to copy and paste that update 😆😆😆

Should bloody well think so

WouldBeGood · 24/06/2021 17:24

Thanks @dancemom 😂

Interesting thread from Chris Musson on Twitter. He quotes NS as saying the reason Scotland has higher cases just now is because we were more restricted and thus have lower immunity (no shit, maybe she should read Scotsnet, she might learn a thing or two Wink). Pretty astonishing if she did as its basically an admission that our current issues are caused by her past decisions.

I'm also enjoying #LongSturgeon which is trending right now Grin

FFS Tui, just cancel my bloody holiday and put me out of my misery.
As a holiday lover, not a sentence I thought I'd ever utter.

Our current issues with lower natural immunity, caused by the first minister's past decisions, probably saved a lot of lives. We didn't get bonkers infection rates of 1000+ per 100,000, when almost no one was vaccinated.

WouldBeGood · 24/06/2021 22:02

Our death rates were right up there in the tables.

The strategy failed.

Scottish death rate per 100,000 is on par with England though and in November were actually higher.

The life expectancy in Glasgow for instance is shocking because of health inequalities and poor diets.

I don't think either Scotland or England can shout about them having effective strategies but WM gets a bit of a upper hand due to the vaccination investment and speed of the dedicated sub department.

Morning all.

Might I add to the Long Sturgeon symptoms?

Compulsion to have Grown Up conversations despite chronic inability to do so.

Severe verbosity.

With apologies to Scottishskifun who despite having long covid seems to have none of those symptoms. Hope you're having a better day today.

SoMuchForSummerLove · 25/06/2021 10:19

Aaaaand, we got the fecking email from school.

DS has to isolate, but the kid who has tested + was here the other day, so I think I might have to as well.

He's missing out on so much in just one week.

Fuck sake.

I knew it was coming, absolutely knew it.

imstilljenny2 · 25/06/2021 10:22

@SoMuchForSummerLove shit!!! In the bloody last day of school. Wait and see what track and trace say. Might not have to do it for long.

SoMuchForSummerLove · 25/06/2021 10:24

The kid was here on Wednesday and tested positive Thursday so I think we're fucked. School email says isolate until next Friday.
