You only have to look at the guy at the back (who the presenter is referring to )

I have never heard of the university / college this guy is from, they would do well to distance himself from him and quote dean Yeager from Ghostbusters when he told them why they were being kicked out. of the campus.

@LoveAlmonds

How do some people ever get in to university.

@Nobody@freeatlantis.com I am going to get in touch and suggest they look at Big Blue Button, I even have access to an instance so if they signed up, I can approve their account.

1. I am British
2. I wear a mask (esp on public transport)
3. I use hand sanitizer too

Grr

When are people going to learn that not everyone has access to MS teams, I don't use Windows, Don't use office and therefore don't use teams.

Last time I had to sign up to MS was for an interview that never happened, it then too 60 days to get rid of the wreched MS account, it should take 30 under the GDPR

To save people having to click, scroll and read the section I am refering to here reads

"What you will get with the course:

Online small interactive session (approx. 3-8 delegates currently via TEAMS) with a qualified trainer & SEND teacher
Resources delivered to your address: used during the training and yours to keep for future sessions (Lego-style starter kits valued at £100 each!)
Certified by NW Autism & SEND, a CPD provider using highly specialised and experienced teachers
Emailed a wealth of online resources for you to edit according to your setting’s needs
A certificate to confirmed you have attended the training"

I have just e-mailed the National Autistic Society (UK based) to invite them here, looking at their auto e-mail reply they are very busy but hopefully there will be a positive outcome.

We can but try.

In an effort to invite the Torbay Safer Communities team on here I sent an e-mail to the e-mail address provided on their website.

I got an auto reply (below)

This sort of nonsense is really starting to test my patience, if you can't be bothered to read your e-mail when why provide a contact e-mail address.

I would like these people to join the fedi so people on here who really need help and support can be signposted to some sort of assistance.

@marcozehe This is the UK national Autistic society

Agreed on all points, I think there is evidnce to suggest that wiile vitamins are good for us, having too many can cause harm.

I guess it is like sunlight creates vitamin D, but too much can cause skin damage and skin cancer.

@markusl @freemo @Nobody@freeatlantis.com

That makes sense, this is not quite clear from some newspaper / media reports.

@Nobody@freeatlantis.com @markusl @freemo

What I do agree with is the healthy life style part, more vitamin D helps, better diets so we can fight infections better.

I think regular hand washing is going to be hopefully normal going forward

Facemasks actually help but in a way that may not be expected. I suffer from mild pollen allergy, as I walk in to local park it is actually quite bad during the summer, as there is lots of pollen a facemask can really mitigate the effects of pollen.

I think that needs some proper study of course.

@markusl @freemo @Nobody@freeatlantis.com

If the vaccine is reformulated, does this mean it has components that will fight the new Omicron variant, but also has components that will fight the delta and other variants, given the number of differences between the two. ?

@abloo

+1

can we perhaps work out a way to help people do that ? perhaps by having some sort of course materials that link to information that actually works

it also makes support easier if we all read from the same instruction sheet.

We can develop this and then offer support via fedi, (give people a reason to join) and other forums

Same goes for running own fedi instances, empower people to run their own,give them the confidence and support network to do so.
