As I say I'm not really trying to single out Matt he has been mostly pretty sensible he has also been the most clear voice against the polling which is why I used him.

There is a big anti-polling reaction to this result which I think is unfair and I'm trying to stick up for them a bit.

We should also give credit to people that have used their own time to find information for others on here to support their argument and help others understand what’s going on.

I agree. I'm not going to start going with my gut instead of trying to reason things out, but in this case Matt's gut (and lots of actual reasons, not just a gut feel) actually contained lots of useful information. To ignore that information would to be act as irrationally as we were accusing him of being before the election.

TBF, whilst Matt turned out to be right in a few respects ( fairplay to him) he ruined it by saying Trump was going to win california

Main concern now is that the results can be counted peacefully. There’s large numbers of Trump fans outside where they are counting in Arizona. Wouldn’t surprise me if the other close states also attract the same level of protest. 
 

Once Biden is confirmed then will hope things calm down especially if it’s a decisive result.

Lol.

I mean, if you’re looking at what my gut was based on you could probably argue I just had a vibe Florida was going Red. In some ways I think I must of had a similar view to the election as Trump’s team did.

I thought Florida was going red, and usually who gets Florida gets the White House. This time the results are weird and closer than usual so you can see the logic.

CNN (I’m sure you’re probably watching too) just showed clips of Detroit and Phoenix:

”stop the count! Stop the count”

”count the votes! Count the votes!”

What on earth has happened to humanity?!

Do trump supporters realise that if they stop the count Biden still wins?

My sister put this in much less flattering terms but a lot of trumps fruitcakes really just regurgitate what Fox News throws out there. I reckon some don’t realise that if the counting stops in a state where Biden is leading, that doesn’t benefit trump.

I also saw a maga group in Florida still predicting a red wave. “Red wave babeh”. They don’t even know how their own system works. Do they even watch the news? There’s not going to be a red or even a blue wave!

Like most things you need to challenge and question things whether they are the polls or a gut feeling with your perception and experiences of the world.

Agreed.  This helps my above point.

They just are desperate to win and the person they look up to has condoned it.  It's shameless but that seems to have a lot of traction these days.

About AZ:

 

There’s being people posting videos of late ballots arriving so obviously the Trump fans are claiming these are all the fake democrat votes that are changing the results. Not realising that the votes from across the states are physical objects that need to be transported for counting.

Were the polls really that wrong? Especially if Biden sweeps the remaining states.

There is still a good chance that this just feels closer than it actually is because of the weird way in which votes are being counted and the mail-in/in-person divide.

Once every vote is counted it’ll be interesting to see how close the polls were.

They just do what their glorious leader requests. They don’t connect the dots.

Yeah early indication seems to be that the state polls were off by 4-5%, the average error is 5% for state polls. 

But it'll be hard to know for a week or two.

I have been one of the staunchest defenders of the polls and whilst I agree that they are off this time round and they are consistently being off in the same direction which looks like a systematic problem that needs work. I'm not prepared to say the polls are useless go with Matt's gut.

Matt's gut called it for Trump the polls called it for Biden. It looks like Biden will win, currently he has between a 2 and 3% popular lead before all the postal votes that weren't delivered like the courts demanded yesterday, so if you give Biden a 3% lead that is only 5% off 538's final average lead of 8% which although off isn't that bad.  Note 538's final headline was a fine line between landslide and nailbiter, we got a nailbiter it's hard to say they got it completely wrong. 

Predictions will only give you probabilities our brains deal in certainties so unless the polls are spot on we say they're wrong. They are actually further off this time than in 2016 and so they need to look at that and try and fix it but if there is another election next year (Holyrood) I'll listen to the polls before Matt's gut.

I'm not really trying to single out Matt I'm using Matt's gut to mean general people relying on vibes. 

Out of upvotes but this is pretty much exactly my thoughts. Some problems for sure, but let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater.

yeah, they were wrong...in states like Wisconsin they had Biden winning by a much bigger margin than he did.

I have a big problem with these polls if they're just going to keep getting things wrong, as they influence how people vote...and in the end just become the story in the lead up to the election instead of what you are actually voting for.

What happens if a protestor gets in and damages ballots? Really hoping it won't happen but interested in what happens to the count in that case.

Well the polls predicted Biden to win Florida. That’s not just ‘one’ state either, it’s a crucial state in this election.

The polls also predicted Pennsylvania for Biden so we’l have to see, but I think the polls underestimated how much of a close race it would be.

    • Enhancing Patient Safety and Quality Care NURS FPX 4030 is a pivotal course in the nursing curriculum at Capella University, emphasizing patient safety and quality improvement in healthcare settings. Assessment 2 of this course typically requires students to identify take my online nursing class a specific patient safety issue, analyze its causes and impacts, and develop an evidence-based plan to address it. This assessment challenges students to apply their knowledge of nursing theory and quality improvement principles to real-world clinical problems, fostering their development as competent and reflective practitioners. The first step in NURS FPX 4030 Assessment 2 involves selecting a relevant patient safety issue. This issue should be one that significantly impacts patient outcomes and is pertinent to the student’s clinical setting. Common examples include medication errors, hospital-acquired take my online nursing class for me infections, falls, and surgical complications. Identifying a significant issue is crucial as it sets the direction for the entire project, focusing efforts on areas that can substantially enhance patient safety and quality care. Once the issue is identified, the next step is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of its causes and impacts. This involves  nurs fpx 4030 assessment 2 reviewing current practices, examining patient outcomes, and analyzing data to understand the extent of the problem. For instance, if the chosen issue is medication errors, students would review incident reports, analyze error patterns, and investigate contributing factors such as workflow inefficiencies, lack of staff training, or communication breakdowns. This thorough analysis helps to uncover root causes and identify areas for intervention. After understanding the problem, students must develop an evidence-based plan to address the patient safety issue. This plan should include specific, actionable steps grounded in current research and best practices. For example, to reduce bio fpx 1000 assessment 7 medication errors, the plan might involve implementing electronic medication administration records (eMAR), conducting regular staff training sessions on medication safety, and establishing a double-check system for high-risk medications. Each intervention should be justified with evidence from the literature, demonstrating its potential effectiveness in improving patient safety. Effective communication and teamwork are essential components of the implementation plan. Students must outline strategies for engaging healthcare team members, including nurses, physicians, pharmacists, and support staff, in the initiative. Regular team meetings, clear communication nurs fpx 4050 assessment 1 channels, and collaborative decision-making processes are crucial for ensuring that all stakeholders are informed and committed to the plan. Creating a culture of safety, where team members feel empowered to speak up about concerns and contribute ideas, is vital for the success of the initiative.
    • Enhancing Healthcare Quality Through Interdisciplinary Collaboration NURS FPX 4060 is a vital course in the nursing curriculum at Capella University, focusing on principles of interdisciplinary collaboration to improve healthcare quality and patient outcomes. Assessment 4 of this course typically requires take my online class students to design and implement a comprehensive plan that addresses a specific healthcare issue through collaborative efforts among various healthcare professionals. This assessment emphasizes the importance of teamwork, communication, and evidence-based practice in achieving optimal healthcare results. The first step in NURS FPX 4060 Assessment 4 involves identifying a significant healthcare issue that necessitates interdisciplinary intervention. This issue should be relevant to the student’s clinical setting and have a direct impact on patient care. Common topics might include reducing hospital readmissions, improving chronic disease management, or enhancing patient safety protocols. Identifying a pressing issue is crucial, as it provides a clear focus for the take my online class for me collaborative efforts and sets the stage for meaningful improvements. After selecting a healthcare issue, students must conduct a thorough analysis to understand the underlying causes and contributing factors. This analysis involves reviewing current practices, patient outcomes, and existing nhs fpx 6004 assessment 2 literature to gather evidence on effective interventions. For instance, if the issue is high readmission rates for heart failure patients, students would examine factors such as medication adherence, patient education, and follow-up care. This comprehensive analysis helps identify gaps in current practices and opportunities for improvement. The next step is to develop a detailed plan for addressing the identified issue through interdisciplinary collaboration. This plan should outline specific interventions, roles and responsibilities of team members, and a timeline for implementation. For example, a plan to reduce readmission rates might involve creating a nurs fpx 4060 assessment 4 multidisciplinary team consisting of nurses, physicians, pharmacists, and social workers. Each team member would have distinct responsibilities, such as providing patient education, ensuring medication reconciliation, and coordinating follow-up appointments. Clear delineation of roles ensures that all aspects of patient care are addressed comprehensively. Effective communication strategies are essential for successful interdisciplinary collaboration. Students must establish regular communication channels, such as team meetings, electronic health record (EHR) notes, and progress reports, to ensure that all pay someone to take my online course team members are informed and engaged. These strategies facilitate the sharing of information, tracking of progress, and timely addressing of any issues that arise during implementation. Communication tools like secure messaging apps and collaborative platforms can enhance real-time information sharing and coordination.
