Make no mistake the runoff elections for two vacant Georgia senate seats on January 5th are about the most important non-Presidential US election in recent times.

Thanks for that.
If it does justice to the original that could be excellent. Provided it isn't like the not-sequel that was pointlessly online.
* Exception of countries with state sponsored spying or incredibly low levels because they totally isolated themselves by shutting their borders.
Next May? I dread to think. I really do.
The rules talk about elections taking place in 2020.
Something to note for future pandemics, i guess.
Here is some more detail from gov.uk
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-winter-plan
Seems to me that effectively Tier 2 is what Tier 3 used to be ... And Tier 3 is effectively now a half lockdown, combined with mass lateral flow testing in those regions.
Should definitely be enough to keep R below one until a vaccine is rolled out I hope.
FFS, what is he on?
We have a vaccine!!
But i have said for ages, you need to find this virus, not wait for it to come to you.
You will start to see a fall in R and infections, hospitalisations, deaths, etc, really quite quickly, as the virus is cornered. This means lots of regions will see an easement in the restrictions after Xmas. Those in Tier 3 (no pubs) should quite swiftly descend to Tier 2. And so on.
It's gonna be a tough winter but it will get noticeably better as the evenings brighten.
If he had advocated a proper lockdown earlier, I think he would have been right.
The argument that we may never get a vaccine so need to let the virus rip and live with it has been killed stone dead.
It looks effing horrendous.
No Pubs.
For four months.
Through an English winter.
On a dodgy pre-text.
Jeez.
At which point we will have three more months with no pubs. Three more months....
Isn't New Year bigger in Scotland than Xmas?
With this relaxation of the rules we will need another one in January or February. 25 days of extra lockdown then for 5 days at Xmas and small crowds at sports events seems like a terrible deal.
Yes you can all make the obvious joke.
WFH is going to remain the flavour of the month for many through the winter and on a dark, cold Monday morning can you blame those who don't relish the walk to the station or the bus stop?
Will I be able to have Sunday lunch with my brother ? So much depends into which Tier a region is placed and as has already been pointed out, "London" is a big place but administratively is one place - I'd argue Kent is a big place too so perhaps London will be Tier 2 and Kent Tier 3 which will scupper that - we'll see.
It would be helpful to have some publicised measures determining how and when an area moves up and down a Tier. I presume the aim is to have everywhere in Tier 1 as soon as possible - laudable enough and aided, one would hope, by the vaccination programme. I have a lot of doubts over the logistics of the programme and I also suspect a minority of people will eschew the vaccine or (like my brother) have issues with a compromised immune system.
(corrected hat to chat, although the original was funnier...)

Don;t you see? its lockdown by another name. For almost everybody. Until the end of March. Its sage's final victory.
Everybody is going to remember this. And everybody is going to remember it was the Tories that did it to them.
At the end of the day, for the majority, Christmas is the great family occasion.
In other news my Uni is to close for two whole weeks over the Christmas, so no need for me to even book leave... Small wins after a tough year...
Can't believe TSE missed this
But it ought to have been obvious far sooner that it wouldn’t here - and that mass test and isolate would.
Welsh daily cases seem to have fallen by about a third since the start of their lockdown while English cases are plateauing. Doesn't seem like a bad performance, especially given proximity to high infection areas of England.
Now that we have vaccines advocating Herd Immunity might be sub optimal politics.
Wincanton on the 3rd may be able to have spectators though perhaps only 2000 and it'll be interesting to see which areas will start in Tier 1 (Shetland, Orkney) and have racecourses.
I look forward to seeing where Surrey and East Sussex sit in the scheme of things - a pre-Christmas afternoon at Leafy beckons - as long as Barry Dennis isn't throwing Christmas puds at you.

In other news German press are reporting Nissan will close its UK factory , oh well at least the Sunderland folk can wave their new blue passports and sing Rule Brittania on their way to the job centre! Don’t expect any sympathy from Remainers , you wanted a good hard Brexit , enjoy it !
So if the place has taken the booking.....???

Changes their mind in a week?
Although a two week "firebreak" really was too short in Wales, however the withering criticism from Johnson, Hancock, Andrew R.T. and Paul Davies made the three or four week effort called for by Plaid politically unacceptable at the time.
So our MD will have to disappoint all the people excitedly telling him to count them in....etc.....
And the tories reckon stuff like this won;t annoy voters and they won;t remember it....?
jeez.
I do wonder if things might have gone better if Lord Frost had been there from the beginning rather than that lazy plonker David Davis, but I fear not. The EU are just not good at decisions.

They may contradict each other and even things out but I suspect it makes GOP losing both seats slightly more likely as only Democrats will take the effort to check their registration.

That is my problem with all this, that there will now be a massive over reaction to each new virus just in case its another covid. All western governments are going to I suspect take premature precautions just in case
