Errr...wot?

The charts are great. But the logic of saying 'deaths are down despite high infections so we can stop being careful' is dangerously flawed. There may be other reasons but by FAR the most likely at this point is that deaths are not rising fast because we are being careful, infection rates are...

He seems prepared to take a shot when he gets a sniff of a chance and that alone sets him apart from every other player we have bar 1 (maybe 2). And his conversion rate of shots to goals must be very high. So yeah. Let's do it.

Somewhat to my surprise I sort of agree with you, at least up to a point. The left have won the economic argument. Or more accurately, the right have lost it. People no longer widely believe in free market, trickle-down ideologies because they are seeing for themselves that it is bullsh*t. They...

Maybe, but I think unlikely If we can just get our collective heads around the fact that we only have to rein ourselves in slighty and this comes back under control...then all will be well I think. As of now it's still very manageable and while there's probably a fair amount of over-reaction to...

Of course polls are not 100% accurate, but they are 'evidence' and for now they are what we have (apart from opinion based on our social media bubbles and personal prejudices). They are not just made up, and in general, while shocks do occur, it is rare that polls are a million miles off...

I don't know where you are getting your information, but a Biden win would really NOT be a shock result. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-poll/biden-leads-trump-by-12-points-nationally-among-likely-voters-reuters-ipsos-poll-idUSKBN2601DT Mr Baker Lite I know is looking at it all...

Hmmm, today definitely feels like a day to bring this thread back into play! Not so much 'good news' as 'get some perspective' news. Yes, infections are rising. Yes that will almost certainly filter through in time to SOME increases in hospital admissions and, ultimately, and sadly, some...

Christ that's dull

Got to feel terrible for Herschi there. Tried everything and came so close. I never really know how far to trust these incredible individual rides...but when at least part of it is based on balls-out descending like that, I feel like you can safely give some credit to the bravery and skill of...

True, and that debate is to be avoided here. However, worth saying that my (very amateur) understanding is that all the vaccines in development that I have read about are based on well established and well understood technologies. So very different from the kind of cases I hear talked about...

Any line drawn between 'this government' and the 'super rich' is a very fuzzy one indeed...

Useful in that it shuts up all those idiots who think they've won the argument when they say 'if you care so much why don't you let someone stay with you eh' Shame though that such stupid, vacuous, levels of argument are being pandered to. I don't think reponsible governments around the world...

Larry Elliot, on the other hand, reckons we'll be mustard.

A sensible piece on the fall in mortality and hospitalization rates here: https://www.ft.com/content/c011e214-fb95-4a64-b23c-2bd87ebb29d7?utm_source=pocket-newtab-global-en-GB Bottom line, I think, is straightforward. It's not magic, it's probably not some change in the virus (it might be, but...

I think it is safe to say I would not.

Not according to the polls. No evidence yet of any post-convention bounce, and Trump will have been relying on that. He is miles behind still. The 'silent majority' are not on his side. Just a noisy minority. I know what people will say about reliablity of polling, about last time round, about...

Bielsa sounds great. A bit flakey, but a nice mix of eccentricity, talent and ethics. His focus on humbleness though seems...ironic.
