    I think that the words you really should have used are 'This is just an opinion that I disagree with and therefore find offensive'.

    It certainly can be classified as name calling ET. Personally I find that offensive.

    As I have said before ' you can drive a horse to water but a pencil must be lead'. 

    I suspect much opposition by teaching unions.

    No the schools are now allowed to be flexible in their approach to children returning. Which makes good sense, finally.

    Me too. Oh there's a slogan 😉

    However we are where we are, but I do think a few words that conveyed, we acted on info given at time with the best of intentions but now with hindsight and new information coming through they could have been done a little differently 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 would get folk's attention and possibly assistance. 

    How many beach/beauty spot visitors/protestors, no comment either way on rights or wrongs timing etc, may have thought more if a certain person was apologetic/acknowledged a serious judgement call might have thought twice?? Again we'll never know. The best way forward is to learn from the past and set an example of how you expect others to behave 😱

    One thing we do know for certain that folks don't feel the need to take responsibility for their rubbish let alone their or others health. As someone else said somewhere in this forum not so long ago there were climate protests but that seems to have gone out of the window now by a vast number of folk cos it's me  me, me, me and mine I want, my right etc someone else will sort this mess...........

    Yes, you are quite correct ET.  I should have used the phrasing that you suggest.  I apologize for the offence.  I had only just woken up so was not fully alert.  I must remember to wait awhile before getting involved in future.

    I think that a lot of people are like sheep and will latch on to whatever is the latest thing is , next week it will be something totally different

    Did she ever think that she had had the coronavirus and if so when. I am sure it has been about a lot longer than what we think.

    That’s some reassurance. Hope she stays safe.

    Hi David, Nice to hear 'good' news for a change.

    I am awaiting the results of a blood test, taken last Friday in relation to another issue, and was told that it will iclude a Covid 19 antibody test.

    A strange situations when you are not sure if you want it to be negative or positive!

    On balance I think poitive is better but then I will be wondering if my wife and grandson also have/had it.

    If as is expected she now has a degree of personal & internal protection she will stay well. A modern day hero no different from the blue light services-when we walk away from contagion she is in a team that walks towards it👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. She has my & others complete respect & gratitude👍🏻

    We have family members who have worked throughout the lockdown, ambulance, fire service, teachers, and others. It is worrying. Having to be so careful when they return home to loved ones. Some are helping other family members who are shielding as well, so there’s some top class coping rotas and communication going on. Lots of clothing changes and showering.

    Some good home videos of teaching at home, little ones learning how to bake, whacky stuff others are doing to stay entertained. Mum is still a touch dodgy on the WhatsApp video calls, all I get is a view of her ear sometimes, with Sis yelling in background😂 We should be thankful for all technology though.

    I don't usually comment on contentious issues - but if you find the word "clown" offensive, then don't click on this. Speakers on.

    Personally, I love it.

    You may call him a clown, but his act got him to where he wanted to be. i.e. Prime Minister. So who are the clowns?

    Hi everyone,

    We have had many reports about this discussion, in particular posts about politics, which we ask in our guidelines not to discuss. As such we will close this discussion but fully appreciate that member's would like somewhere to post about their concerns around coronavirus. As such I have created a new discussion here: 

    Coronavirus-discussion

    This has a reminder of the Community Guidelines in the OP. Please do feel free to continue the conversation but we do kindly request that you please refrain from discussing politics on our forum as in the past this has lead to very heated arguments and insults, which are very difficult to moderate. 

    Thank you for your understanding and support in keeping Club Together a friendly place to be.
