Documentary that spans over a decade following the case of novelist Michael Peterson whose wife died on their staircase. Very interesting following the trial and evidence - I still can't make up my mind what the truth is!

See 24 comments...I have just got off the phone with my step sister. Her 10 year old son went to school yesterday happy and healthy. Last night at 8 pm he started to feel unwell, he has slight asthma. In 10 mins he was struggling to breathe. She bundled him in the car and drove 10 mins to the hospital. 10 minutes after getting there his heart stopped and they had to resuscitate him.they managed to re start his heart. Rushed tests through and he has covid. The hospital are very alarmed as this was showing with complication in blood platelets also. He is now on oxygen fighting it. The speed is disastrous and worrying . The Dr's cannot work out why and how it was so fast. Be vigilant out there and stay safe

I just thought I would ask for an update after your post a while back regarding racist remarks etc. It seems things are worse than ever with comments being racist or disruptive and no matter how much people report nothing is done. Are there any plans to tackle it?

See 77 comments...Well I thought I would share my experience ! As some of you know, we had 10 close family members at an outdoor 1st Birthday party on the 4th. We all had lateral tests that were negative on that day. On Friday 6th ,my daughters boyfriend did a lateral test to go to the gym and tested positive.He immediately booked a PCR test as he had a temperature and informed us all. We all did LFT and were all negative but all started to isolate for 10 days. His pCR test came back on the 8th as inconclusive so he had another done. All of us still isolating.Today , his test came back positive. His app told him he had to isolate for 7 days.we all expected a ping. My daughter got pinged and was told isolation for 10 days from today, one other family member got pinged and given 4 days, the rest of us no pings at all.We all have our app on so I don't know why. Conclusion... since Friday, 9 of us could have been out spreading covid merrily amongst the public for 5 days, and 7 of us still aren't legally obliged to isolate as no ping(even though we all are)

See 36 comments...Is anyone else struggling to get some sort of balance between getting on with life and being Covid safe? We had a very small close family get together yesterday for my grandsons birthday. 10 close family members, all of us don't go to any busy places, we all did LF tests that morning before meeting AND we had it outside in the garden and constantly wiped bathroom and door handles down etc. It was still very weird for me and I caught myself still being ultra observant. Is it just me? Are you all relaxed about things now or also wary of things?

See 109 comments...Hi Scoop, I just wondered how Loops are doing at the moment with members participating? The few groups I am in are very quiet with few people taking part at all . I myself have been quiet on them myself as every thread seems to break down into point scoring or personal attacks and I cannot be bothered with the same arguments. I notice a lot of regulars in them have been silent and I wondered if they felt this way or simply weren't interested in the conversation topics? Is there anything that can be done to bring all of the lovely members whom I always enjoy reading back to posting? Or is it simply time to find ( or create) a new Loop?

See 23 comments...I just had a conversation with my soon to be son in law. His sister and partner battled Covid last Xmas and were very unwell. Two weeks ago they went to a birthday celebration. It was a BBQ of 20 people. A few days after they had a phone call to say some of the guests had gone down with Covid. They got tested and once again had it, as do most of the 20 . How? Because one of the couples had tested positive before the BBQ and kept quiet about it to attend! Not only have they infected everyone but one family had to cancel their holiday with their kids as they are having to quarantine. Utter selfishness

See 68 comments...Good evening Scoopy I love your blocking option. I would like to suggest you go a step further if possible. Would it be possible to stop the "a post from a person you have blocked " thing on threads? And maybe stop us seeing any subthreads when the blocked person is tagged in a post? Would make this blocking thing perfect then by nicely making people disappear 😁

See 3 comments...Well the news are reporting what they think will happen, I am looking forward to Boris statement for a number of reasons. The main one is that I am trying to support my staff in planning the re opening of their face to face services. Timelines were made presuming that 21st June would be the easing of restrictions, but of course we have to figure in contingency plans. I feel for all the other organisations and sectors who have been planning on resuming services but now face uncertain times. It must be difficult to keep their staff happy. Good luck to all !

And the news that’s saying Boris will postpone the unlocking? Right, wrong or just fed up with the whole thing?

The lady said “Oh, you don’t need to write a letter, we now have the email a prisoner app” !! For 40p per message I can email a message that is printed off and gets to the prisoner the next day!! Amazing! I can remember back in the day when you had to wait like two weeks for a reply to a letter and now bam! 🙄

Each “book” is labelled with a subject. It could be cancer, diabetes, an architect, each book has experience of the subject to share! https://warwick.ac.uk/services/library/pghub/social/humanlibrary/

See 115 comments...I’ve been reading this morning about people who are having to fly home early after Portugal was taken off the green list. I do feel sorry for them but I wonder if it is a good idea for anyone to book anywhere abroad at the moment as this could happen to any destination? Should all holidays abroad be banned? Or is it enough that people are aware this could happen and that insurances cover cancellations due to covid restrictions? I’m torn on this one guys

TRIGGER WARNING - Suicide Yesterday afternoon a young lady in her 30’s who was local to me was posting tweets on a local Slough group. She described her low mood, wrote her thoughts, spoke of her conversation on the phone with her nan and thanked everyone for reaching out to her to help. She then typed “this next train is for me,” told everyone that her password to her phone was her date of birth, and jumped to her death in front of the train. Please please reach out to someone if you need help. Scream it at the top of your lungs if you need to be heard. There are so many people who care. Samaritans no is 116 123, or email jo@samaritans.org . Reach out to someone. Please

See 26 comments...Over the last few days I have heard lots of colleagues who have taken the steps to book a holiday abroad for this summer. I asked one why and her reply was that she needed something positive to look forward to and wanted to be optimistic. I fully understand this, the yearning to do something nice and have some normality. I myself wouldn’t risk booking a holiday. Not just because of lockdowns etc but because I think I would still be wary of being on a plane etc with the virus. So , my question to you all is... Have you booked? Where have you booked? If so, what tipped your decision to booking this soon?

See 10 comments...I thought I would share something nice in the middle of this worrying time . I am part of a group elsewhere that is about cooking on a budget. Everyone shares tasty recipes that are cheap. Last night a young lady listed a small amount of food and said she has that and £10 to last a week as her food shop had fallen through.She simply asked everyone for some meal ideas for her kids. Within an hour she had multiple offers of help, resulting in a lady who lived 10 minutes away from her dropping a “care package “ of food on her doorstep. The lady was overwhelmed at this act of kindness, the lady who donated the food simply said “ I have enough” Sometimes something touches your heart and brings a little hope x
