I wonder how connected we are digitally causes equivalent of a local lockdown naturally....when Bob tests positive for COVID, everybody in the whatsapps groups, Facebook friends etc will know.
You hear a number of those stories and lots of people will think twice about doing certains things
It's the 'there's been an outbreak at my kids school' that seems to be driving a de facto lockdown.
Actually, it just might help her with Maine-iac Democrats who voted for her in the past, but who are doubtful they can do so again.
Here in WA State we have a somewhat similar situation with Republican Secretary of State Kim Wyman, who has received many Democratic votes in the past, the secret to her electoral success in the blue Evergreen State.
Note that she's currently being hammered on TV by her Democratic opponent as a Trumpkyite. AND that in leadup to election Wyman got a lot of support from national Democratic circles as a Republican state election official who defended postal voting (at least in WA).
I think that ship sailed for Collins some time back.
Actually in Tier 2 I believe you are legally allowed to share a car with someone outside your bubble, it’s just not recommended. So it’s perfectly legal to have sex in a car.
Biden's not Trump. That's all he's got. Some will be motivated for sure, but I would expect that support must fray around the edges when you have to tick the name on the ballot.
No COVID, economy still going well, thrn Trump might have done it. Not now.
A US source I listen to said that, if Biden won and the repubs at the same time regained the house, Biden would be facing an impeachment push just based on the Ukraine stuff we have so far. Before he even got his feet under the table.
"TfL staff prepare for shutdown of Tube, bus and train network THIS WEEKEND as Sadiq Khan refuses £1bn government bailout over demand he extends £15 congestion zone to north and south circulars and charges all under 18s for travel
Londoners are braced for the capital's transport system to grind to a halt this weekend as cash-strapped TfL burns through the last of its funding. Eleventh-hour talks for a £1billion bailout between ministers and Sadiq Khan have stalled because of sticking points involving the Government's conditions for a deal. The Mayor is understood to be refusing to sign up to an expansion of the congestion zone to the North and South Circulars, which he said would punish Londoners already facing new Tier 2 Covid-19 restrictions."
£15 per day to use the car anywhere in London, wont be popular!
Bloody Tories, first they opposed the congestion charge, then they opposed its extension to Kensington, now they want everyone in London to pay it. They can go fuck themselves.
I guess the calculation is that the only Tory seat inside the North Circular apart from Westminster and K&C is Finchley.
I'm getting sick of these people punishing anyone who doesn't vote for them, it's disgusting.
Once Scotland leaves, the independence for London campaign will take off.
On what grounds? There is not even a London independence party and the London economy depends on commuters coming from the Home Counties which has currently dried up.
Though of course a UK free of Scotland and London would see almost permanent Tory rule
No such thing as a UK free of Scotland. Only one kingdom to unite with itself, remember?
Not true, Northern Ireland is still the remainder of the Act of Union with Ireland, the UK would only cease to exist if Scotland and Northern Ireland left in which case it would be the Kingdom of England and Wales
OH, then whyt is it called the Province?
You could just as well argue that it's the United Kingdom of England and France because the Engs kept their paws on a few bits of France (where Carlotta lives).
Well arguably it was until Joan of Arc recaptured most of it for France and then Mary Tudor lost Calais
Channel Islands. I did say Carlotta ...
There was never a formal Act of Union with the Channel Islands as there was with Ireland and the monarch was never crowned King of the Channel Islands as they were of France either
They had to keep it out so they had a tax haven close to home for their dirty money.

Reckon you are correct, but then hope does spring eternal in the poliltico!
My point is that some GOPers stand to benefit electorally by being attacked by Trumpsky.
The politicians and scientists, either keen on new restrictions or just terrified of getting it wrong (I’m looking at you Sadiq) have decided that they can simply ignore any actual data not suiting the narrative they want, because they have their “models” using being tweaked to show a story that they want to tell.

I don't understand why you're so negative on Biden. His approach seems very calm, sensible, and measured, and of all the possible Democrat candidates, he's the best placed for the overriding challenge of the next presidency, which is going to be dialling down the partisan warfare and making America whole again. His speeches have been excellent from that point of view. He also seems to have a good team, which bodes well for the all-important question of the senior appointments in his administration, assuming he wins of course.

Agree on that re it helping her. It’s a close race and it sounds like quite a few are undecided. This should actually help her.
But not enough to re-elect her - on that yours truly agrees with Nigel.
So at his press conference Johnson was asked by a father living in Tier 1 if he could visit his son in tier 2. Johnson covered himself by saying he should check the website, but sadly “no, he didn’t think he could”.
There is a specific exemption in the law to allow this. If Johnson doesn’t know the law they he should say so, not exacerbate his ignorance by actually giving a wrong answer. An answer that will cause strong distress to many people up and down the country (and potential problems where the parents are not on the best of terms and access is anyway sometimes problematic).
The man is a joke, who creates trouble every time he opens his mouth. Not that that’s news.

The US consoling itself with: CNN - The rise in new Covid-19 cases in Europe is far higher than the rise in the US, according to data from the World Health Organization (WHO) and Johns Hopkins University (JHU).
The surge in the five worst-affected European nations was nearly 42% higher than the increase in the US in the week from October 6 to 13, according to JHU's seven-day moving average of new cases.
On October 13, that daily average in the US stood at 49,542. In the five worst-hit European countries -- France, the UK, Russia, Spain and the Netherlands -- the total daily average of new cases stood at 70,158 on the same day.

Can't access that (paywall) but I'm assuming it's an antigen test ? (Which is the type I very much favour for mass testing, as it's doable on a large scale in the near term.)
This looks very different - single viral particle imaging. As such, it's probably more usefully applicable to future virus threats.
Sorry. I think this one is also viral particle imaging - they say they need 10 viral particles in a sample to give a positive result.
But it's also probably not a real test because they said Bristol university had validated it (Bristol university denies this) and they have no experts in virology/microscopy working on it.
"Jon Deeks, professor of biostatistics at the University of Birmingham, said, “we are in a pandemic, people are dying from the disease, and a company decides that it is reasonable to mislead us all to make their test look like the best thing available”, referring to the claims being made for the test’s accuracy. “Legally, they can probably get away with this, but there cannot be any consideration that this is morally acceptable.”
Can't read it as it is paywalled, but the other question that c omes to mind is - how do they know they have the right coronavirus? Are they really that distinct under the harsh conditions of electron microscopy? The common cold is sometimes a coronavirus. But perhaps false positives are better than false negativces, and can in any case be hauled out for further testing with antigens.
The Oxford group are using a very different imaging technique.
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.10.13.20212035v2.full.pdf ... To address this need, we developed a novel diagnostic method that relies on the detection of intact virus particles using wide-field fluorescence imaging. Our method starts with near-instantaneous labeling of enveloped viruses via cation-mediated binding of short fluorescent DNAs to the surface of virus particles9; we subsequently surface-immobilise labelled particles, collect diffraction-limited images containing thousands of labelled particles, and finally use image analysis and machine-learning to identify different viruses in biological and clinical samples (Fig.1A). Our approach exploits the fact that distinct virus types and strains have differences in surface chemistry, size, and shape, which in turn affects the fluorophore distribution over the surface of different viruses. Such differences can be captured by convolutional neural networks (CNNs), which have been used previously to classify super-resolved microscopy images of heterogeneous virus populations into particle classes with distinct structural features10, and to detect virus particles in transmission electron microscopy images...
And are (rather more credibly) claiming proof of principle, rather than anything immediately deployable It sounds quite interesting for future use, as it ought to be applicable to any new or existing virus, so the capacity could be deployed as an insurance against future pandemics (& to diagnose seasonal viruses).
I think a lot of the time the Govt is still briefing out its guidance rather than the law. It’s doesn’t actually care if there’s a difference because in most cases the law isn’t being enforced anyway.

I have, and it is protected, but there's a pretty huge caveat.

I want to agree fully with what you say but there is a nagging fear that there is barely the width of a sheet of paper between 'calm and measured' and comatose decrepitude - I'm just not sure which he is.
When we get the “Australia deal” which bit of Australia do we get? The beaches, the sun, the cricket and rugby league teams, or the uninhabitable bit in the middle and their football team?
Democrats are voting more, requesting more ballots and returning those ballots at a quicker rate than republicans. Now I don't doubt Trump will win most of the late voters, he almost can't fail not to given the whopping lead Biden is building. I do however ponder how many GOP might just quietly sit this one out ?
Trump is a much more entertaining and likely to be newsworthy watch, but quite honestly everyone has seen it all before. He won't say anything of value, and nothing he says or does will shock anymore, so might as well wait for the clips.
Interesting that OGH is talking about a record turnout on the day Biden is doing a get out the black voter event in Michigan....
What point are you making Contrarian?
The Biden campaign suspects it might have a big enthusiasm problem, especially relative to Trump. Look at Biden's path to the democrat nomination, for example. Look at the voter registration numbers, where the republicans are slaughtering the democrats in some key states like Florida and Pennsylvania.
That Biden is pushing to boost turnout of supporter with lower-than-average recent turnout is NOT a sign of any enthusiasm gap. It is evidence of long-standing demographic reality.
Perhaps you may have noticed the loooooooooooog lines in some states for in-person early voting? Who strangely do NOT appear to be dominated by eager Putinists.
As for registration, many of the "new" GOP registrations you are talking about are existing voters who have changed their party registration. In many cases, these are people who have been voting Republican for years and are finally switching to GOP.
Still not great news for Dems, but NOT as much of a boon to GOP as you seem to think.

I’m wondering if the surge in Republican registrations might be people who WERE going to sit this one out, but have now decided enough is enough.
You haven't lived if you've never 'watched' a football match on Ceefax.
I moved down here in Jan 2012 and my local was still 'showing' the games via Ceefax until it stopped that October - so I 'watched' Man City win their first Premier Leage title via Ceefax there. An odd juxtaposition of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Perhaps because you've had lots of elections go against what you want in recent times, being left of centre and not thrilled by the idea of ordinary decent racists forever "speaking their mind" and Britain being hard for people and things to get into.
Or perhaps I'm projecting.
When you are piling everything on Biden, don’t forget to keep some money back for our bet
Certainly not. If Donald Trump gets another term the one and only ray of light in a truly desolate landscape will be £50 going to underprivileged and demonized dogs.
That just asserts that last minute undecided to trump switchers genuinely switched, they weren't really trumpers all along. May be right, may not, but it ain't no debunking.
From what I see, pollsters aren't struggling to get reasonably accurate voter recall. Indeed they often seem to have a slight pro Trump recall bias !
America has a long and well documented "winner recall bias" it was one of the reasons why the LA Tracker poll was wrong in 201y as they had weighted by past vote recall but failed to adjust for recall bias.
That’s fun, but there wouldn’t have been a lockdown if this had happened in 1990s. The internet made that policy viable.
How does that logic work out, please?
We had things to do, and better connected thanks to the internet in 2020, so we could stay at home,
I mean things like online learning/teaching wouldn't have been possible in 1995 at this scale.
Oh I see what you mean, quite so, thank you. And WFH too. I was thinking in terms of public information - which was arguably easier with only a few newspapers and 4 TV channels. And Jonathan the OP has posted too, I now see.
Indeed - and looking at the vote changes it was Labour and LD voters heading for the exit with the SNP. The Tory vote was actually up. Without sensible tactical voting from unionists it really is game over and in that seat Lab and LD seem to have made the wrong choice.

Nice victim blaming there Big G. This is nothing to do with us - a purely Tory endeavour.
Me too. I'd have probably watched the Trump one. The pull of the grotesque.
I think a lot of people here are sick and tired of Trump and his schtick. A big part of Biden's appeal is increasingly that he's the anti-Trump: decent, reasonable, a bit dull.
If I were running the Biden campaign I'd be making ads featuring the most unhinged Trump moments with the simple slogan: "You can make it stop."

Andrew Bowie gone at the next election I think.
Not to suggest that Mr Bowie is any more of one than the rest of us are, but a chimpanzee in tweeds can't count on being elected any more, it's a hard life. Mind, it's not a fishing port. More Aberdeen dormitory. But there is a lot more to even a coastal constituency than a few deep-sea trawler owners.
I feel like real life is bleeding into everything I look at the moment- I pick up a book from the shelf completely at random, a Ben Elton book called Blind Faith which from the back cover seems like it is going to commenting on our culture's jettisoning of privacy, and in the first few pages it talking about a world where public health advantages of keeping people apart mean nearly everyone works from home apart from those who serve food or drink. Perhaps something else would be a better pick until Covid is over.
They aren't a company. They have no employees. They have no clients.
They simply copy and paste other pollsters and add a slight rightward bias.
It seems hard to believe all the forecasters etc and journalists wouldn't have picked up on this. Poll fraud does happen from time to time and has been rooted out before.
They have a website with a phone number. If you fancy you could call them up (maybe using VoIP to avoid the call charges) and ask them for their company details.
I already tried the phone number. It always goes straight to voicemail.

As an American, regard having sex in you automobile as a basic right of every US resident above age of consent.
OF course yours truly grew up in a age where American cars were LARGE with plenty of room for hanky panky, esp in backseat.
Sadly this is no longer the case re: most passenger cars. Which is one key reason for popularity of vans, SUVs and pickup trucks in US of A.
The surge in the five worst-affected European nations was nearly 42% higher than the increase in the US in the week from October 6 to 13, according to JHU's seven-day moving average of new cases.

It sounds quite interesting for future use, as it ought to be applicable to any new or existing virus, so the capacity could be deployed as an insurance against future pandemics (& to diagnose seasonal viruses).
I think Barnier screwed up this one: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/oct/13/brexit-michel-barnier-mocks-boris-johnson-third-deadline-on-talks
There shall be no interference by a public authority with the exercise of the [Right to respect for private and family life] except such as is in accordance with the law and is necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security, public safety or the economic well-being of the country, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others.
The only red flag they have is their ludicrous presentation of results to 2 decimal places which is statistically illiterate.
1. Everyone has the right to respect for his private and family life, his home and his correspondence.
2. There shall be no interference by a public authority with the exercise of this right except such as is in accordance with the law and is necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security, public safety or the economic well-being of the country, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others." (all emphasis mine)
Yes it is, except on public health and safety safety grounds, as here.
Amy Coney Barrett is NOT a Trumpsky project. She is a GOP establishment project, along with all the other Federalist Socialites that Mitch McConnell & Co (including Mitt Romney) have been speeding through the pipeline to confirmation BEFORE the next presidential inauguration.
Turnabout is fair play.

Perhaps you may have noticed the loooooooooooog lines in some states for in-person early voting? Who strangely do NOT appear to be dominated by eager Putinists.
As for registration, many of the "new" GOP registrations you are talking about are existing voters who have changed their party registration. In many cases, these are people who have been voting Republican for years and are finally switching to GOP.
Still not great news for Dems, but NOT as much of a boon to GOP as you seem to think.
The whole point of Trump demanding to be scheduled against Biden was to have a ratings win to crow about in twitter.
Trump is REKT.
Kim Jong Il: It will be 911 times 2356.
Chris: My God, that's... I don't even know what that is!
Kim Jong Il: Nobody does!

What simpler times they were.
Depending on the season, 9 out of 11 and 8 out of 10 Premier League matches kicking off at 3pm on a Saturday.

2) Worryingly, this fits into my fear that Biden is stacking up votes where he doesn't need to.
No food delivery.
I mean things like online learning/teaching wouldn't have been possible in 1995 at this scale.

Labour and the Lib Dems had the chance to stop brexit but blew it with their idiotic GE campaigns
If you are looking for scapegoats try looking in the mirror, it may help
If I were running the Biden campaign I'd be making ads featuring the most unhinged Trump moments with the simple slogan: "You can make it stop."
I got home, asked her did she record it, she said yes, I told her not to tell me what the result was, she said she couldn't even if she wanted to as there weren't any goals in the match.
