No it isn’t.
We have what’s called a red card phone number for our lad. If his temperature goes above 38C, we have to call the local hospital and take him straight in for IV antibiotics. He’s had chemo and immuno therapy this year so an extreme example - he’s at risk of neutropenic sepsis (she’ll be googling that now).
I know I bang on about this but it’s the reason I fume about her cosplaying. She flits about saying she’s SO careful...not. She’s been here, there and everywhere! I hope her poorly mum stays clear and doesn’t feel obliged to look after her. She probably will as that’s what caring mums do.

I feel a bit for BB. I can’t imagine Jack will be gracious if she catches Covid off her. She may be an adult with a full understanding of the risks of bubbling with someone who comes into contact with lots of people in a high risk area (as well as having a long list of Covid risky escapades of her own) but I picture it something like this.
Isolation in the shitty bungalow, a shitty play scene 6 (sign up to my patreon to access scenes 2-5 if I can be arsed writing them in between dinosaur naps).
J: you gave me it & I could have DIED, it was the WORST EVER, it was LONG.
L: I think you’re being a tad dramatic, you were completely fine, you were knitting throughout. Nobody could taste the slop. It was okay...Please stop tweeting this.
J: you could have KILLED me. You know I’m immunocompromised. They kept the Nightingale hospital open just for ME, Jackie McMonroe, writer,former activist, slop savant, accidental conqueror of covid fears...
L: this bubble isn’t working.
J: you can’t LEAVE, I could have DIED.

also - is this how an immunocompromised person reacts to having covid and a dangerously high fever? Remember she claimed to be at the top of the vaccine priority list only last week

Great post, Dragon. My SIL is like your MIL. The last time I had Christmas at her house I got served green beans and nothing else. I had offered to bring food, I know some people can't cope with accommodating vegans. I was assured there was plenty. She had managed to put butter and goosefat on everything. No nuts, or crisps or even bread in the house. I cried a little in the bathroom, then washed my face and proceeded to get drunk. My husband and I have never spoken of that Christmas again. We now always have Christmas at ours or go to my family.
I know hosting is a lot of work, but I will never understand why people insist on hosting when they have no interest in feeding and looking after people. Just don't offer.

I love that the posters on here make me consider my own reactions to things in a more nuanced way. A lot of lefty people on twitter have retweeted the joke and if it weren't for here I probably would have laughed at it but this and @HarderFaster's intelligent post made me stop and consider it a bit more deeply to see how problematic it is. This place really is an amazing resource!
although it obviously goes without saying that Priti Patel is evil

Her nails were grubby there too, she could have just posted her hand and we would have known it was her.

Yep I did too. Actually now we say it, Christmas is fucking shit for some and lonely and this year more than ever so anyone who feels it this year just post I’ll be around in between avoiding my mother - either here or food and drink

Nothing says attention seeker like being British and having your thermometer in F for the bigger number.She’s claiming a top temp of 41.5 Celsius?That’s an astronomical fever for an adult. Kids can spike really high fevers (if my kids hit 41 I’d take them straight to A&E) but extremely high temps are a lot rarer in adults IIRC.
She claims to be maintaining a temp of 40 but is happily tweeting? The last couple of times I’ve had a fever, it’s been 38 and I felt too shit to do anything other than curl up in a ball.
This is all very very suspicious.
She’s delirious, she’s speaking in tongues. Someone call Chris Witty, stat. She needs only the best.
