Sticking to those Trump talking points.

Gov. Ricketts: Coronavirus vaccines will be free to all Nebraskans (Omaha World-Herald)

There aren’t any, and there won’t be any for quite a while (if at all).

LINCOLN — Gov. Pete Ricketts announced Monday that coronavirus vaccinations will be provided free for all Nebraskans, when the vaccine is available.

That includes people who are covered by Medicare, Medicaid or private health insurance or who have no insurance, he said.

State health officials joined the governor last week to unveil a plan for distributing the vaccine. At the time, they said the vaccine itself would be free but they did not have an answer about the cost for administering the vaccine.

At a press conference Monday, Ricketts said people will not have to pay any costs associated with getting the vaccine, including any co-pays and deductibles that would normally be required.

The gamblers seem to favor Biden:

Someone has placed a £1 million, or $1.29 million, bet on Biden to be the next president on the Betfair Exchange, the world’s largest online betting exchange, where gamblers find other gamblers who match their wagers.

Current odds have Biden as a -188 favorite, Trump is at +188. At least at the website I saw.

Got CL’d on the last thread…

A few things to keep in mind as polls close tomorrow:

Don’t be surprised that Trump is ahead or holding his own in the raw popular vote early on. Besides, Biden figures to win the Pacific Coast states by at least 6 million votes.

Don’t be surprised if Virginia stays close for a bit. Recent history shows the larger areas of the Old Dominion state are always later to report.

I’m going to be keeping an eye on North Carolina returns at the county levels. In particular, Wake (Raleigh), Mecklenburg (Charlotte), Durham (Durham), Guilford (Greensboro), Forsyth (Winston-Salem), Orange (Chapel Hill), Buncombe (Asheville), and New Hanover (Wilmington) counties. Aside from New Hanover, these are population centers where Biden should rack up big margins. If New Hanover flips to favoring Biden, that would be great news. I’ll be trying to compare totals from 2016.

The wingnuts on the Alliance school board finally cave to state and health district pressure. They would not cooperate with either over providing information about coronavirus outbreaks in the public school system.

Facing state and local pressure over its response to the pandemic, a school district in the Nebraska Panhandle has tightened its COVID-19 protocols and agreed to cooperate with the local health department.

Alliance school board members held an emergency meeting Oct. 25 and added language to their reopening plan making clear it would cooperate on health department investigations.

Masks are now “highly recommended” for students and visitors, not just recommended.

Classroom seating will be arranged to attempt to maintain 6-foot distancing between masked and unmasked students.

Board President Tim Kollars said the district has had strained relations with the Panhandle Public Health District over the intensity of the district’s initial reopening plan.

“We don’t have that many people getting sick,” he said.

Health director Kim Engel said that by not cooperating, the district prevented contact tracing necessary to protect others and prevent spread.

Under pressure, Alliance schools enhance COVID-19 rules, vow to cooperate with health officials (Omaha World-Herald)

This is getting attention of the press on the other side of the state from us because they are being so bullheaded.

Box Butte County (seat Alliance, pop 11,308) has the second-worst number of cases in the Panhandle, with 378 total, 74 active, 1 dead.

As bad as the response has been from Lincoln, the Alliance school district has been worse.

Also to show the other side of the coin

If Biden takes Florida but not the other two, Biden’s odds of winning are 97-3

Biden takes NC but not the other two his odds of winning are 93-7

Biden takes Georgia but not the other two his odds of winning are 76-22

Also the moment Biden takes New Hampshire (with it being the only battle ground state called) his odds become 93-7 and if he takes Georgia and New Hampshire but looses Florida and NC his odds are still 90-8 with two ties.

Since the district judge dismissed the case on the grounds the plaintiff had no standing (he lives in Arlington, where they also allowed drive through voting), I would hope the 5th Circuit also dismisses it on those grounds.

The judge also saw no difference in defining a structure between a tent and a building. Neither is curb-side voting, which the claim is based upon.

Also, he found that voting complied with all Texas laws regarding security, including voter ID and such.

It would really take some pretzel logic for the 5th Circuit to accept it after his thorough dismissal (followed by the inevitable appeal to the Supreme Court in a last desperate attempt).

I have a really bad relationship with probability, dice rolls, and RNGesus. So I get it.

The Atlantic had an interesting interview with a mathematician explaining what probabilities mean “A Math Whiz on How to Stop Stressing About Election Forecasts
An interview with the mathematician Jordan Ellenberg about politics, election forecasting, and how to think about the future like a pro:”

Ellenberg: According to some philosophers of mathematics, probability is a measure of your feelings. It’s a measure of your degree of belief in some proposition. That’s all it is.

[…]

Thompson: So probabilities are almost like guides for our feelings about the future?

Ellenberg: I would put it even more strongly: Feelings are for the same thing that math is for. They’re both for guiding your decisions and helping you select actions and helping you understand things. Relevant to your decision making is how strongly you feel about the outcome. So, yes, probabilities are about feelings.

According to the FRED (that’s the US Federal Reserve), Trump’s economic collapse wiped out the last 6 years of manufacturing jobs growth. All of Trump’s job growth vaporized. All of it.

We are worse off - by the government’s own reckoning.

But Trump thinks people will buy the baffling bulkshit.

They see the businesses closing. The bankruptcies declared. The factories that limited shifts or shut down.

Think of probabilities like a craps game. Odds of rolling a 7 (1 in 6) or 16.67 percent. Odds of rolling a 4 (1 in 12) or 8.33 percent. Odds of rolling a 5 (1 in 9) or 11.11 percent.

One of my favorite Las Vegas memories was a guy coming up to a crowded craps table and tossing down $100 bucks that the next roll would be a 12 (1 in 36) or 2.78 percent. Yes, the 12 came up, and he collected his 30 to 1 payout of $3,000. One of the few times I’ve ever seen a table stop and stare in amazement.

538 now has FFVC’s odds at winning at 1 in 10. In other words, Orange Anus has to wager all of its chips that a single roll of the dice will come up as a 5. Impossible? Not at all. But I’d rather be Biden and have all the other numbers covered.

In Scranton, Biden’s team turns out voters, while Trump supporters turn up the volume

It was almost exactly 2 p.m. as the trucks — horns blaring — passed the county government office where, a few hours earlier, a steady chain of poll workers had arrived to pick up the material they needed for Tuesday. Lamborghinis with thundering engines followed, however incongruously, as the group passed President Trump’s regional field office across the street. Then, half a block up, the racket was turned to 11 as the vehicles passed a team registering volunteers to knock on doors in support of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.

If I understand the mathematician’s argument, it’s that the election odds are very much not the same as the craps odds. The physics of a die means that any number has a 1/6 chance of coming up. And you can repeatedly roll the die to see that this is in fact the case. With the election odds, they’re looking at polls — which have all sorts of assumptions built in, plus looking at historical data to tell how a certain polling advantage turns into a win probability. There’s all sorts of uncertainty involved. And you can’t re-run the election multiple times to see how often different results obtain.

People suck at odds, which is why casinos stay in business when they’re not operated by Trump.

Trump’s betting on essentially getting snake eyes to win, which is a replay of how he won in 2016. Odds of getting snake eyes twice in a row?

1 in 36. Same odds of rolling it the first time. They’re independent events.

“But Donald Trump will put a bullet into the country,” Friedman continued. “If you don’t think that’s true, then you haven’t been paying attention the last four years.”

Friedman added: “When you break things, when institutions break, when norms break, in a fundamental way, they are very, very hard to put back together.”

And the Republican Party won’t help, he said.

Friedman slammed the GOP under Trump as a “giant political brothel that basically rents itself out by the night to whoever will energize its base — whether it was Sarah Palin or the tea party or Trump. Unfortunately, for the last few years the red light has always been on.”
