I have had a covid idea that will appeal to the puritanical amongst you. Anyone found by the police to be in serious/repeated breach of the Covid regulations, is denied the right to free Covid care on the NHS and will be charged by credit card for their care should they require Covid hospitalisation. A simple per day charge. I think it would be very popular. 'NHS should be free at the point of use, not free at the point of abuse'.
It is a very dangerous route if people who break the law are denied NHS treatment.
One area where, even with caveats about it, the public are less forgiving.
I find it hard to reconcile this belief with the actual numbers given on sites like Worldmeter.
According to their numbers the UK has done more tests than any other country in the world except the big 4 - China, USA, India and Russia. A total of 34.4 million tests to date.
When it comes to tests per million people, with the exception of the smallest countries - those of les than 1 million population - only Denmark, Israel, the UAE and Singapore have done more tests per head of population then the UK.
Thing is, I agree with the perception that the UK has handled testing badly. That is my impression as well. But the numbers do not, on face value, support that claim.
Problem is, it’s been little more than a very expensive and slightly delayed running commentary on the pandemic, rather than a means to enable its control.
Yes. Too much emphasis on the absolute number of tests, too little on (a) getting the results really fast, and (b) following up the contact-tracing (and virtually no backwards contact-tracing). The net result has been a huge expenditure for little benefit.
When this all began we couldn't do anything like enough tests, so inevitably we pursued approaches that expanded testing capacity enormously. Unfortunately in systems there is almost always a trade off between capacity and speed, and when you approach the limits of capacity speed invariably falls off a cliff, as we saw a few months ago.
You can't easily fix this by making a high capacity system go faster. The right thing to do is to build a second speed optimised testing system, probably with lower accuracy testing, and funnel positives into the high capacity PCR system for confirmation. You don't really need to worry about false negatives, as we are already missing huge numbers of positive cases. The key is to be able to do enough tests quickly enough to snuff out hot-spots before they spread far.
This BBC forgeries, Diana interview stuff demands resignations and prosecutions and should be the end of the licence fee, but is passing virtually unnoticed.
Does anyone care?
Well, no, that was rather my point. If you are trying to say that you personally are not fussed about honourable and honest conduct in public life, I think we knew that.
Of course I am fussed but of all the issues about honesty this seems pretty trivial. It was a quarter of a century, and many of the individuals involved are either dead or retired or hospitalised due to COVID. Of all the things to get worked up about this doesn't seem that big of a story.
Maybe if it had come to light twenty two years ago it would have been much more shocking. But now? No.
The problem with these people, among other things is the suspect, JC, has been caught with the smoking gun in his hand standing over the body, and there is clear CCTV footage of the crime to prove his guilt, yet they still want to clear him. Knobs!
Just over a year ago the dog and I dropped into Wilmington Animal Hospital to get his pet passport signed off before we embarked on the ship back to the UK. Just along the road from there, Biden will be making his victory speech in the small hours tomorrow, US time.
Almost exactly one year ago - November 6, 2019 - I was tucking into freshly-shucked Gulf oysters in the Bourbon House oyster bar, in the French Quarter, in the warm, sultry autumn sunshine of New Orleans, with barely a care in the world.
What the F. What has happened. What has happened to us all.
It’s true that those who were there with you do seem to have disappeared. From PB, at least.
As soon as this medieval plague shit is over I am going somewhere gloriously sunny and wildly hedonistic.
I can't decide between New Orleans, Bangkok or maybe somewhere in the Indian Ocean
I've already decided that I'm giving it until March and then, fuck it, I'm going to travel whatever.
Likewise. I am almost beyond caring. If we are allowed in December I am going to grab some winter sun then. Christmas is fucked anyway.
Come the new year I will be off to balmier climes as soon as it is legally possible, and probably before

I am a huge fan of their Belle Epoque. One of my all-time favourites along with Dom Perignon.
Enjoy!
(Cue the infantile comments that you and I are one and the same which ignores the equally compelling argument that writers are of a certain genre.)
I've never seen the appeal of Cristal. And I've had bottles worth many hundreds. Supposedly.
Dom is nice. I like Churchill's Pol Roger.
I am also a big fan of the best English fizz. Nyetimber et al.
We are one. Uh-oh. I totally agree about Cristal. Almost dislike it.
And I love Pol Roger's 'White Label' aka Brut Reserve. That's my favourite everyday champers. As, indeed, it was Winston's.
But if I'm splurging then it has to be either the Perrier Jouet Belle Epoque or Dom Perignon for me. Adore both. Creamy, sensuous, glorious. Champagnes of pure seduction.

I agree with this - and with the other comments from Doug et al. But it seems to me that in that case we are pushing at the wrong thing in terms of criticising the Government. People think the testing is going badly when in fact it is the overall containment strategy that is wrong. My fear with this Government is that they will see public concern about testing and so think that just doing more tests is the answer rather than dealing with the real issues.
You can see this perhaps in the new strategy starting in Liverpool. Test everyone. But even testing everyone doesn't help if you then don't isolate them properly when they test positive.
Unless prompted by a direct question about those two states that should set an alarm bell going, FL everyone knows is a toss up so wouldn't be a stretch to have said 'win without FL' but PA? I try not to read into 'expectation' comments from campaign staff but,, I find it very strange she specified PA as well
Yes, that was my reading of it. Somewhat troubling.

I don't think she's quite right. If Trump can hang on to one of the Great Lakes states then he could possibly do it without Pennsylvania, but on the other hand if he's winning there, he's probably winning in Pennsylvania too so it's unlikely.
I think Michigan and Wisconsin are gone for Trump - the Biden leads there are just too big.
Yep. Michigan in particular seems like a dream for him now.

I am showing my age but I met my wife while watching the Bashir interview with Di in 1995. She was a visiting student over from the States. I was looking to impress from the back of the JCR with the big TV with my terrifically witty comments about Will Carling being behind one of the curtains. Seemed to work but low bar with these American girls.

Land of Smiles. Welcoming, hospitable people. Lovely beaches, too. Back there as soon as I can, although as I’ve got family there I’m prejudiced.
I think he does know. But to be fair to him, he's probably absolutely knackered.
Whatever else you think of Trump, and in my case it's not a lot, he has worked his bloody socks off campaigning. I've got to hand that to him.
For him, he sounded rather flat there. But then, as you point out, he has been burning the candle at both ends for a while now ...
I wouldnt read too much into that interview. yes he sounded flat and said 'losing isnt easy' but in the context of the whole interview it didnt sound overly defeatist to me. I suspect he's tired and also perhaps realises being overly vocal or bullish while people are still voting may not be the best thing.
Trump does look pretty downbeat in that video clip.
Notable that he didn't dismiss the idea of a concession speech.

If Trump hangs on in FL, does that mean Biden definitely won't flip TX?
No. In fact, Texas going but Florida not has been a recurring thought of mine. Florida is an odd state which could be Trump's one bright spot on a bad night for him. Like Putney for Labour on Dec 12th. I can definitely see that.
There doesn't appear to be reports of voter intimidation.
No Court actions appear to have been launched - the only thing that has happened is a Judge ordering an urgent sweep of post offices for any ballots to be delivered immediately.
If you don't consider people being forced to queue for hours to cast a vote a form of intimidation.

On those states reporting live in FL its narrowed by over half as far as I can see
so it will come down to the large numbers of unaffiliated
But how many Republicans are voting for Biden?
Good evening PBers ..
Indeed these tight swing states will be decided by the differential crossover vote and independents. The polling clearly indicates advantage Biden in both groups.
My judgement is GOP for Biden 12.5% and Dem for Trump 7.5%. Independents 57.5/42.5 Biden.
What the OTD turnout prediction in the swing states?
Six hours until we get find out what american cuban drag queens thought about Biden's $15/hr policy....and 3hrs of other fascinating info from CNNs exit poll.
OT. If anyone hasn't seen the 7 part series on Netflix called Queens Gambit they're missing a treat. Best chess film ever made
Bit of a dull opening though.
Giuoco piano ?
Maybe not that dull...
Steering vaguely back to the topic, I could see Biden playing a Giuoco Pianissimo. Steady, soporific, afraid to make errors.
Trump would just throw the board over. With a complaint that the dark squares were the wrong colour.
So Biden winning by a landslide again.
Lol, yes. Although Bobby Fischer effectively did that and still won.
I've witnessed a few board throwing incidents in chess tournaments. Some people really don't like losing.
The best bust-up I ever witnessed occurred long ago in a league match between Cardiff Police and Cardiff Arabs. [Yes that was really their name - mostly students from the Middle East at the two Universities in Cardiff in those days. It probably wouldn't be permissible now.]
The Police weren't exactly cheats but 'roguish' describes their reputation well. The CA lads were fine, but perhaps a little excitable. The trouble arose on one of the lower boards where the copper had somehow contrived to lose his king's rook, but the king was still on its original spot and the bishop and knight squares were vacant. Needless to say he was getting well pasted when he decided to improve his posiiton in a novel way. He castled - by taking his king, correctly, in his right hand and moving it onto the knight square whilst simultaneously and rather deftly taking the queen's rook from its place on the adjacent board on the next table and dropping it on the bishop's square by the king.
Incredibly his opponent failed to notice this. Worse, several moves were played on both boards before the CA player to the right of the copper noticed his queen's rook was missing and started looking around for it. As it happened, the design of the sets on the two tables was slightly different which gave the game away and...well to call it uproar would be putting it mildly.
It was the only chess match I ever attended which was abandoned due to fighting.

Thats interesting as he got 69% there in 2016 and concensus seems to be he needs 66/67+ if he drops down low 60s hes in trouble in FL i think means the older voters may have deserted him a bit,. though that number you gave wont include the NPAs so he may well get a good chunk of them in that county

In which case, Biden is sitting pretty in FL in my book.
If Trump hangs on in FL, does that mean Biden definitely won't flip TX?
Almost certainly. 99%.
I'd say way less than 99% - look at the movement at the midterms. TX is moving Left, and FL isn't really moving at all.
That being said, TX is a 30% chance for the Dems now. If they lose FL, it probably is only a 10% shot.
(It also depends on *why* the Dems lose Florida. If they score big in the suburbs but lose due to oldies and Cuban Americans, then they still stand a good shout in Texas.)
In Pinellas, registered Republicans are now 2,500 ahead, compared to 2,500 behind at close of play in 2016. That lead will grow, but will it be offset by Republicans and independents supporting Biden?

Good evening Anabobazina. Happy to. Posted last night. Biden 322/216 .. :
36k cases, 854 deaths in France. Their testing and isolation system is legitimately terrible. As in a gigantic disaster zone where people can't book tests for love or money and isolation rates of symptomatic people who have tested positive in France is close to zero from the research one of my team has been doing.

There's just a chance that if I'm right about Florida there may be a slight window worth jumping through before the 311 shoots up to c. 330.

However, whilst I think he's going to land at 330 + it only takes a couple of tight races to put him at 300.
