Over 18% supporting permanent curfew can’t be true, right? What’s going on in Britain?
Yessir.
Hacker News sometimes too.
Results collected purely online may not get as maney older people less comfortable with technology (although that's a dwindling group).
Results collected through email solicitation may not get as many younger respondents who don't use email as much.
A phone survey sent out during the day will miss many people who aren't home, which will skew the results by excluding many people who are already comfortable going out, shopping, back to work, etc and move results towards "permanent lockdown".
1) Perfect 2) Great 3) Very Good 4) Good 5) Okay 6) Neutral 7) Poor
5 out of 7 options are positive and only 1 is negative. As a bonus, the neutral & negative are listed last so you have to read through lesser positive options and the neutral before you get to the negative.
The name is originally based from the polling "results" of this article: https://www.publicpolicypolling.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/...
And (imo, aptly) named by Scott Alexander in https://slatestarcodex.com/2013/04/12/noisy-poll-results-and...
I can't read the OP: paywall. Does The Economist literally say that? I don't know how they came up with that - I don't believe anybody here is in favour of "permanent curfew" (a curfew is a ban on travelling during the hours of darkness; I guess they were referring to lockdown).
I imagine there is significant opposition, however, to the government's plan to lift lockdown more-or-less completely, in a couple of weeks, against the advice of his own scientific advisers. Maybe that's what The Economist is trying to say.
"To what extent, if at all, would you support or oppose each of the following rules being in place permanently, regardless of the risk from COVID-19?"
"Having a curfew against leaving home after 10PM without a good reason": 19%
I've had a look at the Ipsos Mori results.
I can't find any information here...
https://www.ipsos.com/sites/default/files/ct/news/documents/...
... about how many people they interviewed, exactly what questions they were asked (or whether these were open interviews), or how the sample were selected.
It's not a real paywall. Just disable javascript and it's fine to read.
Or, you can read it here:
Would it really be that surprising that there's that many people who don't go to nightclubs or casinos? If it doesn't affect you after all.
Noisy nightclubs shouldn't be allowed in residential areas (oh, really??!!)
People with a bad attitude about other people having fun don't have any reasonable complaint, unless the fun-lovers are causing them a problem. Then the fun has to stop, or go somewhere else.
This isn't hard.
I do.
If we had taken this seriously form day one we would not be in this position.
But I knew this would happen in April 2020 because all the historical evidence and my own personal experience suggested it would. lol.
We don't stand a chance. lol.
In fact, the permanent curfew is the lowest permanent item from the chart in the article.
And, as an introvert, lockdown did wonderful things for my mental health. I’ve been happier being locked down than I can remember being in decades. I hope things like remote work become a permanent thing.
And yeah, I'm in favour of social distancing, regardless of disease. I appreciate people I don't know respecting my space. How much space you prefer seems to be a social construct; I feel a bit invaded if a stranger comes closer than about 1m.
I sort of miss shaking hands with people I've just met. Elbow-bumps are absurd; nobody does it without irony.
