thedailymirror--2020-11-05--The Xbox Series S A Sleeker powerhouse offering amazing value

We are now entering the 9th generation of games consoles and Microsoft 's Xbox has come a long way since the original back in 2001 .
This year Microsoft is releasing two new state of the art consoles , the Xbox Series X and Series S , while they share some similar features , unlike the PS5 and PS5 Digital they are two very different machines aimed at different gamers .
At first glance the Xbox Series S may seem like just the little brother to the ‘ most powerful console in the world ’ but it doesn ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shadow .
The S brings the speed and performance you ’ d expect but in a more compact and affordable package .
Firstly both Xboxes have gone for a much more striking look this time around .
I was impressed at the compact size of the Xbox Series S. The matte white rectangular design looks minimal and modern without looking brutal or boring although it does look slightly like a large speaker .
It measures 6.5cm x 15.1cm , 27.5cm tall and weighs only 4.25 lbs for reference it is 60 % smaller @ @ @ @ @ @ @ smallest Xbox ever .
No text , just a small , unobtrusive logo for a power button .
It looks sleek and elegant when compared with the PS5 and while its design is similar to the Xbox One S , there are some differences that help it stand out .
The most eye-catching detail is the black circle which highlights the main cooling fan and while it does draw the eye it still looks attractive and inconspicuous next to or underneath the TV .
At the front of the Series S is a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ back are the rest of the ports including a figure 8 cable for power , external SSD memory port , two USB A 3.2 ports , a HDMI 2.1 port and an ethernet port .
Much like the previous Xbox One S All Digital edition , the Series S is a digital-only system meaning it has no optical drive and can not read discs at all .
This means the series S ca n't play Blu-ray discs or the physical edition of games .
This is important if you currently own a large @ @ @ @ @ @ @ system means less clutter of cases and discs lying around .
You purchase games through the Microsoft Store and download them to the console ’ s hard drive .
This lack of a disc drive is one of the things that makes the Series S so much smaller and cheaper But it does make you more reliant on internal storage space .
You can also pre-order and pre-install upcoming games so you ’ re ready to play the moment they launch rather than waiting or trying to find it in the shops .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ games I was able to play straight out of the box .
In a digital-only console , storage is one of its most important features , as all your games files will play from the inbuilt memory and not from a disc , which is why the Series S ’ s storage capacity of 512Gb is a little confusing .
The Series S uses an inbuilt solid-state drive , meaning load times are much faster due to the lack of moving parts or the drive needing to be spun up like on a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ same 4th Gen NVME SSD drive as the X which is capable of a swift 2.4Gb a second of uncompressed data .
The increasing file sizes of modern games , with patches and DLC means the supplied SSD can be filled very quickly if you ’ re not careful , especially as only 364Gb of memory is useable .
Even some current generation games are approaching the 100Gb file sizes .
One of the game Call of Duty Warzone , is 100Gb .
Warzone isn ’ t alone in that size , some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the 100Gb mark were : With just five games I could easily fill the drive , thankfully games on the Series S will be around 30 % smaller due to the 1440p resolution textures instead of 4K .
There are other storage options .
Compatible external HDD and SSD Game Drives are an option but games installed on those drives will be limited to a max speed of 20Gbps and less on some drives .
Another option allowing you to retain your high speed loading times is a 1Tb Seagate Storage Expansion Card @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with both the X and the S series .
Surprisingly the S doesn ’ t sacrifice much on brainpower as its CPU is very similar to its big brother the Series X , an 8-Core AMD Zen 2 CPU clocked at a slightly lower 3.6GHz .
It also uses 10GB of GGDR6 RAM , which runs at a slower speed than the Series X ’ s 16GB .
This means it offers brilliant performance , the UI is quick and responsive , games load faster than before and the system also can handle @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at it without any struggle and the CPU still has room for future developers to push the hardware further in future with features like hyperthreading .
The GPU is the biggest difference between the Series X and S. The S is still no slouch , utilising an AMD RDNA 2 GPU 20 CUs clocked at 1.565 and powered at 4 Teraflops .
Teraflops measure how many trillion calculations being performed per second and are vital for rendering large complex games .
This is dramatically reduced when compared to the X ’ s 12 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at a lower resolution meaning its graphical power is more than enough .
Games play at a targeted resolution of 1440p and on a 4K TV , upscaled , this still looks great and will suit most as the average gamer won ’ t be able to see a difference .
The Series S is a great option if you don ’ t own a 4K TV or if you 're not too bothered with the higher than HD resolutions .
Video content can be streamed at 4K but the Series S does @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Xbox Series S can support up to 120 frames per second on compatible TVs .
Although this isn ’ t yet a common feature meaning you ’ d need a pretty new TV with HDMI 2.1 to make use of a 120Hz refresh rate .
The quicker frames rates look fantastic for fast motion games especially racing like Dirt 5 or Forza giving the smoothest animations possible .
The Series X and S both benefit from an inbuilt feature called Auto HDR .
High Dynamic Range improves the assortment of colours making the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The fan despite being so prominent on the console was always quiet and barely noticeable , However the console did seem to get very warm while I was playing , and while I did not notice any performance issues I was surprised at the amount of heat the single fan was blasting out .
When compared to last generation ’ s Xbox One X , the new Xbox Series S ’ graphical capabilities may look like a downgrade on paper but the console takes advantage of faster RAM , RDNA 2 , Raytracing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of which blows all previous models out of the water .
• Pikmin 3 Deluxe review : Explore and survive on a strange new world populated by weird and wonderful creatures Another helpful addition for budget conscious gamers is that the Series S can use your previous controllers from the Xbox One on the new system , saving you more money .
The Series S features backwards compatibility not just with the previous-gen like the PS5 but is compatible with thousands of games from all four generations of Xbox and letting you keep @ @ @ @ @ @ @ system .
This means that at launch you will already have access to thousands of select games some with improved performance , resolution and framerate due to the new advanced hardware and some being optimised .
Quick Resume enables gamers to switch between up to 6 titles and resume instantly from where they last left off without waiting through loading screens , which is a nice touch and really gets you into your gamers quicker .
Xbox Smart Delivery is a really clever feature that means on supported games your console will download @ @ @ @ @ @ @ game for whichever console you are using be it a series S , Series X or Xbox one So far , there has only been a small selection of Smart Delivery games optimised for the new system but more are being added post-launch .
The Xbox Series S and X both also feature Variable Refresh Rate.This means that if your TV is supported , it will match its refresh rate to the frame rate of the game automatically .
This is important as some scenes with a lot of action or that are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ momentarily cause drops it ’ s framerate from say 60 to 30 or lower to compensate and ease the workload .
But with Variable Refresh Rate , matching your frame rate and refresh rate you will see a much smoother experience and less noticeable tearing and stuttering .
The most important feature for any new console is the games , and Xbox , unfortunately , does n't have the edge on exclusive titles at the moment .
This is due to the delay of first-party title Halo Infinite so they are relying more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which was also delayed .
Having said that , Microsoft 's monthly games on-demand service Game Pass features over 100 games to keep you entertained and when coupled with the Xbox ’ s impressive backwards compatibility you already have an extensive library at your fingertips .
And being a purely digital-only system the Series S is built for Game Pass which offers amazing value for money at only £10.99 a month and can be used on PC also .
You can even purchase a Series S with no upfront cost , pay a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 24 months and it comes with Game Pass making it even easier to get into the Xbox ecosystem .
The Xbox Series S is a surprisingly capable system balancing performance with price but looks a little light on exclusives .
Boasting many of the same impressive next-gen features and some of the same hardware as the Series X , The S lacks the additional storage and power .
And while it may lack the raw GPU power of its big brother , is the lower price point , smaller physical profile and ability @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gen games beautifully is all that matters .
The Xbox Series S significantly lowers the point of entry for next-generation gaming , and is a tempting way to get newcomers into the Xbox Ecosystem .
It easily suits the needs of most gamers , appealing to parents , casual gamers , and as a second console .
The Series S when bought with Game Pass is an unstoppable combination .
The Xbox Series S is out 10 November for £249.99

The new Xbox Series S brings streamlined all-digital design and a host of new advanced features at a slicker price.

The most eye-catching detail is the black circle which highlights the main cooling fan and while it does draw the eye it still looks attractive and inconspicuous next to or underneath the TV.
At the front of the Series S is a USB A 3.2 port, on the back are the rest of the ports including a figure 8 cable for power, external SSD memory port, two USB A 3.2 ports, a HDMI 2.1 port and an ethernet port.
Much like the previous Xbox One S All Digital edition, the Series S is a digital-only system meaning it has no optical drive and cannot read discs at all.
This means the series S can't play Blu-ray discs or the physical edition of games. This is important if you currently own a large library of discs, nevertheless a digital-only system means less clutter of cases and discs lying around.

Final Fantasy XV – 71.6 Gb
Halo 5: 97.2 Gb
Gears 5 – 71.9 Gb
Forza Motorsport 7 - 95 Gb
Quantum Break – 102 Gb
With just five games I could easily fill the drive, thankfully games on the Series S will be around 30% smaller due to the 1440p resolution textures instead of 4K.

Video content can be streamed at 4K but the Series S does not run games in native 4K.
Xbox Series S can support up to 120 frames per second on compatible TVs. Although this isn’t yet a common feature meaning you’d need a pretty new TV with HDMI 2.1 to make use of a 120Hz refresh rate. The quicker frames rates look fantastic for fast motion games especially racing like Dirt 5 or Forza giving the smoothest animations possible.
The Series X and S both benefit from an inbuilt feature called Auto HDR. High Dynamic Range improves the assortment of colours making the image appear more vibrant and bright.
The fan despite being so prominent on the console was always quiet and barely noticeable, However the console did seem to get very warm while I was playing, and while I did not notice any performance issues I was surprised at the amount of heat the single fan was blasting out.
When compared to last generation’s Xbox One X, the new Xbox Series S’ graphical capabilities may look like a downgrade on paper but the console takes advantage of faster RAM, RDNA 2, Raytracing, Velocity architecture, SSD, all of which blows all previous models out of the water.

A retired nurse arrested after she took her 97-year-old mum out of a care home says she `` desperately '' wants to look after her mother herself .
Gran-of-eight Ylenia Angeli , 73 , said she was `` terrified '' she would never see her dementia-suffering mum Tina Thornborough again due to the England 's second national coronavirus lockdown .
The mum of ex-Corrie actress Leandra Ashton claimed the incident was n't premeditated as she pleaded : `` Please let me take my mum home . ''
Mrs Angeli was on Tuesday detained by police who were called by staff @ @ @ @ @ @ @ She was later de-arrested and released , and her mum was returned to the care home .

Distressing footage of the arrest was put on social media by Ms Ashton , 42 , who portrayed Saskia Larson on Coronation Street between March and June 2016 .
Mrs Angeli said she had not been able to see her mother properly due to the coronavirus pandemic as care home visits have not been allowed .
In the video , Ms Ashton said her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ months .
Mrs Angeli pleaded for rules around care home visits to be relaxed for relatives .
She said : `` I took my mum because I want to care for her myself .
`` I want to be the one who feeds her , hugs her , puts my arms around her and everything else .
`` She 's 97 with not very long left and with the second lockdown imminent I was terrified about not being able to see her .
`` This would have been and probably will turn out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for some time .
`` If she 's at home with me I can see her everyday and give her everything she needs .
`` She has deteriorated to the point she needs an awful lot of care and I feel like I 'm best-placed to give it to her .
`` I 'm a trained nurse , I had my own care home so I know what I 'm doing .
`` I just want to plead with the social care system to please let me take my mum home . ''

The distressing shows Mrs Angeli being handcuffed and detained in the back of a police car while her frail mother looks on .

`` I could see how upset my daughter was getting and my mum was there too of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them . ''
She said she was speaking out not just for her mum , but for `` all the elderly people in care '' .
In a separate interview , she told LBC she has the training and experience to care for her mum herself at her own home .
She added : `` I desperately want to care for my mother at home , which they are not allowing me to do .
I am a trained nurse .
I have a lot of experience in looking after the elderly .

She continued : `` It was just that emotions were so high . ''
Ms Ashton said the incident happened after she and her mum went for a `` window visit '' .
She insisted the attempted removal of her grandmother was not premeditated and that the pair became emotional when they were told they could not see her without the glass .
She said : `` When I saw my nan through the glass I started @ @ @ @ @ @ @ could bring nan out so we could see her without the glass . ''
Ms Ashton continued : `` She pushed this woman out of the way quite lightly to get to my nan so she could hug her .
`` My mum then wheeled my nan around to see me and wheeled her towards me and she did she just kept going .
`` We were outside and we just thought 'let 's keep going ' , it was n't premeditated .
`` We got into a car then went to a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our thoughts and decide what to do .

Ylenia Angeli, whose daughter Leandra Ashton portrayed Saskia Larson on Coronation Street, had not seen her dementia-hit mum for nine months due to Covid-19. She was arrested before being de-arrested and released
Ex-Corrie star's mum in emotional plea after arrest for taking gran, 97, out of care home
A retired nurse arrested after she took her 97-year-old mum out of a care home says she "desperately" wants to look after her mother herself.
Gran-of-eight Ylenia Angeli, 73, said she was "terrified" she would never see her dementia-suffering mum Tina Thornborough again due to the England's second national coronavirus lockdown.
The mum of ex-Corrie actress Leandra Ashton claimed the incident wasn't premeditated as she pleaded: "Please let me take my mum home."
Mrs Angeli was on Tuesday detained by police who were called by staff at Market Weighton, East Yorkshire.
She was later de-arrested and released, and her mum was returned to the care home.

Distressing footage of the arrest was put on social media by Ms Ashton, 42, who portrayed Saskia Larson on Coronation Street between March and June 2016.
Mrs Angeli said she had not been able to see her mother properly due to the coronavirus pandemic as care home visits have not been allowed.
In the video, Ms Ashton said her grandmother had not seen her for nine months.
Mrs Angeli pleaded for rules around care home visits to be relaxed for relatives.
She said: "I took my mum because I want to care for her myself.
"I want to be the one who feeds her, hugs her, puts my arms around her and everything else.

"She's 97 with not very long left and with the second lockdown imminent I was terrified about not being able to see her.
"This would have been and probably will turn out to be our last visit with her for some time.
"If she's at home with me I can see her everyday and give her everything she needs.
"She has deteriorated to the point she needs an awful lot of care and I feel like I'm best-placed to give it to her.
"I'm a trained nurse, I had my own care home so I know what I'm doing.
"I just want to plead with the social care system to please let me take my mum home."

Ms Ashton was heard sobbing in the video and saying "everyone needs to see how ridiculous this situation is".
The distressing shows Mrs Angeli being handcuffed and detained in the back of a police car while her frail mother looks on.
Mrs Angeli said afterwards: "It was a horrific ordeal. When the police arrested me and put the handcuffs on I just thought, 'this cannot be happening', it was absolutely horrible.
"I could see how upset my daughter was getting and my mum was there too of course, I just wanted to protect them."
She said she was speaking out not just for her mum, but for "all the elderly people in care".
In a separate interview, she told LBC she has the training and experience to care for her mum herself at her own home.
She added: "I desperately want to care for my mother at home, which they are not allowing me to do. I am a trained nurse. I have a lot of experience in looking after the elderly.
"What I see just breaks my heart and I know that people all around the country are feeling the same."
She continued: "It was just that emotions were so high."
Ms Ashton said the incident happened after she and her mum went for a "window visit".
She insisted the attempted removal of her grandmother was not premeditated and that the pair became emotional when they were told they could not see her without the glass.
She said: "When I saw my nan through the glass I started crying and my mum asked if we could bring nan out so we could see her without the glass."

Ms Ashton continued: "She pushed this woman out of the way quite lightly to get to my nan so she could hug her.
"My mum then wheeled my nan around to see me and wheeled her towards me and she did she just kept going.
"We were outside and we just thought 'let's keep going', it wasn't premeditated.
Image: SWNS) SWNS)
"We got into a car then went to a nearby garden centre car park to gather our thoughts and decide what to do.
"My nan was absolutely fine, she was enjoying it all and just really, really pleased to see us."
Ms Ashton added: "As we were working out what the hell we were going to do the police came and blocked us in.
"We said my mum was happy to go in and talk about the suspected assault but asked if we could take my nan back to my house, even just for 24 hours.
"We just wanted to care for her.

He said: "The officer in attendance had to ensure that everyone was safe and in particular the 97 year old lady who was frail and vulnerable and so made the decision to briefly restrain the 73 year old woman until the situation was calm and under control.

thedailymirror--2020-11-05--Full list of high-risk people being urged to shield at home in second lockdown

About two million people in England have or will receive shielding letters for the second national coronavirus lockdown .
It means they have been deemed clinically extremely vulnerable under new guidance that was released two days later than expected and just hours before the four-week shutdown began on Thursday .
The Lockdown 2.0 group includes those with reduced immune systems , specific cancers or severe respiratory conditions such as cystic fibrosis or severe asthma .
But this time around there will be no formal shielding as happened during the spring lockdown when vulnerable people were told not to leave home @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shutdown , people over 60 and those who are clinically vulnerable are being advised to stay at home `` as much as possible '' , unless they are going out for exercise or an essential health appointment .
Have you been affected by coronavirus ?
Email webnews @ mirror.co.uk .
Those in the clinically extremely vulnerable group are strongly advised not to go to any shops or to pharmacies .
They are also advised to try to stay two metres away from other people within their household .
People in the group will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or their GP , and they may have been told to shield in the past .
More specific guidance was released on Wednesday , two days after the Government said it would be published .
The new shielding measures will apply across England until December 2 .
The country is then expected to return to the regional system with three local lockdown tiers , and further guidance will be issued at that time .
According to the Government 's guidance , people deemed clinically extremely vulnerable are those who are on the shielded @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or more of the conditions listed below .
- People with cancer who are undergoing active chemotherapy .
- Those with cancers of the blood or bone marrow such as leukaemia , lymphoma or myeloma who are at any stage of treatment .
- Patients having immunotherapy or other continuing antibody treatments for cancer .
- People having other targeted cancer treatments that can affect the immune system , such as protein kinase inhibitors or PARP inhibitors .
- Those who have had bone marrow or stem cell transplants in the last six @ @ @ @ @ @ @ drugs .
- People with severe respiratory conditions including all cystic fibrosis , severe asthma and severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD ) .
- Those with rare diseases that significantly increase the risk of infections , such as severe combined immunodeficiency ( SCID ) , homozygous sickle cell disease .
- People on immunosuppression therapies sufficient to significantly increase risk of infection .
- Adults on dialysis or with chronic kidney disease ( stage 5 ) .
- Women who are pregnant with significant heart disease , congenital or acquired .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ as clinically extremely vulnerable , based on clinical judgement and an assessment of their needs .
Guidance to support these decisions has been given to GPs and hospital clinicians .
People who think they should be on the shielded patients list should discuss their concerns with their GP or hospital clinician .
Those over 60 are not automatically defined as clinically extremely vulnerable unless they have one of the conditions above or are on the shielded patients list .
However , they have been encouraged to follow the same rules and reduce contact @ @ @ @ @ @ @ contracting the virus .
What if I live with someone who is clinically extremely vulnerable ?
The Government said its guidance applies to clinically extremely vulnerable individuals only .
Adults and children who live with someone defined as clinically extremely vulnerable are not advised to follow the guidance .
Instead , they should continue to attend work and school while following the general advice and rules of the second lockdown .
What is new this time ?
The formal shielding that happened in the spring , when vulnerable people were told not to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not happening this time .
People over 60 and those who are clinically vulnerable are being urged to stay at home unless they are going out for exercise or a doctor 's appointment .
People with chronic kidney disease ( stage 5 ) and those undergoing dialysis , as well as adults with Down 's syndrome , are being added to the shielding patient list by the NHS due to new evidence about groups more likely to be at risk of serious illness from Covid-19 .
Can I meet up with other people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ may wish to meet up with one other person from outside your household or support bubble , for example , to exercise in an outdoor public place , but we suggest that you always try to do so as safely as possible .
`` Try to keep all contact with others to a minimum and avoid busy areas .
Whenever you go out , continue to maintain strict social distancing , wash your hands regularly and avoid touching your face . ''
You should also try to stay two metres away from other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they display symptoms of the virus or have been advised to self-isolate .
Can I go to work ?
People classed as clinically extremely vulnerable are being advised to work from home .
`` If you can not work from home , you should not attend work for this period of restrictions , '' the guidance states .
People may be eligible for Statutory Sick Pay or Employment Support Allowance .
If they were on payroll before October 30 they may be eligible for the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme ( on furlough ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my child go to school ?
Children whose doctors have confirmed they are still clinically extremely vulnerable are advised not to attend school until the advice changes .
They should continue their education at home .
The Government says : `` Most children originally identified as clinically extremely vulnerable no longer need to follow this advice .
`` Speak to your GP or specialist clinician , if you have not already done so , to understand whether your child should still be classed as clinically extremely vulnerable . ''
It adds : `` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ clinically extremely vulnerable , but who are not clinically extremely vulnerable themselves , should still attend school . ''
Can I travel or go shopping ?
As expected , the new guidance advises those classed as clinically extremely vulnerable to avoid all non-essential travel by private and public transport , including visits to any shops or to pharmacies .
They should continue to attend hospital and GP appointments unless told otherwise by their doctor .
They should shop online if they can or ask someone else to collect and deliver their shopping or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , friend or NHS volunteer .
Frustrated charity leaders hit out at the Government for failing to release its guidance sooner .
They accused the Government of causing `` untold amounts of stress '' and said many people had been left `` bewildered and anxious '' .

All of the new England lockdown rules
All of the new England lockdown rules
An estimated two million people in England have been defined as clinically extremely vulnerable during the second Covid-19 lockdown, but this shutdown will be much different than the initial one in March
Coronavirus shielding: Full list of high-risk people being urged to stay at home
About two million people in England have or will receive shielding letters for the second national coronavirus lockdown.
It means they have been deemed clinically extremely vulnerable under new guidance that was released two days later than expected and just hours before the four-week shutdown began on Thursday.
The Lockdown 2.0 group includes those with reduced immune systems, specific cancers or severe respiratory conditions such as cystic fibrosis or severe asthma.
But this time around there will be no formal shielding as happened during the spring lockdown when vulnerable people were told not to leave home for any reason.
For the second shutdown, those who are clinically vulnerable are being advised to stay at home "as much as possible", unless they are going out for exercise or an essential health appointment.

Those in the clinically extremely vulnerable group are strongly advised not to go to any shops or to pharmacies.
They are also advised to try to stay two metres away from other people within their household.
People in the group will have received a letter from the NHS or their GP, and they may have been told to shield in the past.
More specific guidance was released on Wednesday, two days after the Government said it would be published.
The new shielding measures will apply across England until December 2. The country is then expected to return to the regional system with three local lockdown tiers, and further guidance will be issued at that time.
Who is clinically extremely vulnerable?
According to the Government's guidance, people deemed clinically extremely vulnerable are those who are on the shielded patients list and those who have one or more of the conditions listed below.
- Solid organ transplant recipients.
- People with cancer who are undergoing active chemotherapy.
- Lung cancer patients who are undergoing radical radiotherapy.
- Those with cancers of the blood or bone marrow such as leukaemia, lymphoma or myeloma who are at any stage of treatment.
- Patients having immunotherapy or other continuing antibody treatments for cancer.

- People having other targeted cancer treatments that can affect the immune system, such as protein kinase inhibitors or PARP inhibitors.
- Those who have had bone marrow or stem cell transplants in the last six months or who are still taking immunosuppression drugs.
- People with severe respiratory conditions including all cystic fibrosis, severe asthma and severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
- Those with rare diseases that significantly increase the risk of infections, such as severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), homozygous sickle cell disease.
- People on immunosuppression therapies sufficient to significantly increase risk of infection.
- Adults with Down’s syndrome.
- Adults on dialysis or with chronic kidney disease (stage 5).
- Women who are pregnant with significant heart disease, congenital or acquired.
- Others who have also been classed as clinically extremely vulnerable, based on clinical judgement and an assessment of their needs. Guidance to support these decisions has been given to GPs and hospital clinicians.
People who think they should be on the shielded patients list should discuss their concerns with their GP or hospital clinician.
What if I live with someone who is clinically extremely vulnerable?
The Government said its guidance applies to clinically extremely vulnerable individuals only.
Adults and children who live with someone defined as clinically extremely vulnerable are not advised to follow the guidance.
Instead, they should continue to attend work and school while following the general advice and rules of the second lockdown.

What is new this time?
The formal shielding that happened in the spring, when vulnerable people were told not to leave home for any reason, is not happening this time.
Those who are clinically vulnerable are being urged to stay at home unless they are going out for exercise or a doctor's appointment.
People with chronic kidney disease (stage 5) and those undergoing dialysis, as well as adults with Down's syndrome, are being added to the shielding patient list by the NHS due to new evidence about groups more likely to be at risk of serious illness from Covid-19.
Can I meet up with other people?
The guidance states: "You may wish to meet up with one other person from outside your household or support bubble, for example, to exercise in an outdoor public place, but we suggest that you always try to do so as safely as possible.
"Try to keep all contact with others to a minimum and avoid busy areas. Whenever you go out, continue to maintain strict social distancing, wash your hands regularly and avoid touching your face."
You should also try to stay two metres away from other people within your household, especially if they display symptoms of the virus or have been advised to self-isolate.

Can I go to work?
People classed as clinically extremely vulnerable are being advised to work from home.
"If you cannot work from home, you should not attend work for this period of restrictions," the guidance states.
People may be eligible for Statutory Sick Pay or Employment Support Allowance.
If they were on payroll before October 30 they may be eligible for the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (on furlough), which has been extended.

Should my child go to school?
Children whose doctors have confirmed they are still clinically extremely vulnerable are advised not to attend school until the advice changes.
They should continue their education at home.
The Government says: "Most children originally identified as clinically extremely vulnerable no longer need to follow this advice.
"Speak to your GP or specialist clinician, if you have not already done so, to understand whether your child should still be classed as clinically extremely vulnerable."
It adds: "Children who live with someone who is clinically extremely vulnerable, but who are not clinically extremely vulnerable themselves, should still attend school."
Can I travel or go shopping?
As expected, the new guidance advises those classed as clinically extremely vulnerable to avoid all non-essential travel by private and public transport, including visits to any shops or to pharmacies.
They should continue to attend hospital and GP appointments unless told otherwise by their doctor.
They should shop online if they can or ask someone else to collect and deliver their shopping or medicine, be it a family member, friend or NHS volunteer.
Who is clinically vulnerable?
The Government has also published guidance for people in a separate group who are considered clinically vulnerable.
They should be especially careful to follow the rules and minimise contact with others, wash their hands more frequently than usual, and keep their home and maintain thorough cleaning of frequently touched areas in your home and/or workspace.
Clinically vulnerable people are those who are pregnant, aged 70 or over (regardless of medical conditions), or under 70 with an underlying health condition listed below (anyone instructed to get a flu jab each year on medical grounds):
- Chronic (long-term) mild to moderate respiratory diseases, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema or bronchitis.
- Chronic heart disease, such as heart failure.
- Chronic kidney disease.
- Chronic liver disease, such as hepatitis.
- Chronic neurological conditions, such as Parkinson’s disease, motor neurone disease, multiple sclerosis (MS) or cerebral palsy.
- Diabetes.
- A weakened immune system as the result of certain conditions or medicines they are taking (such as steroid tablets).
- Being seriously overweight (a body mass index, BMI, of 40 or above).
Government criticised over timing
Frustrated charity leaders hit out at the Government for failing to release its guidance for the clinically extremely vulnerable sooner.
They accused the Government of causing "untold amounts of stress" and said many people had been left "bewildered and anxious".
Charities say the rule requiring those defined as clinically extremely vulnerable to stay two metres away from other people within their household is "impractical" for those living in smaller, shared spaces.
Fiona Loud, policy director at Kidney Care UK, said: "We are frustrated that merely days after being told by the Prime Minister that there would be no return to shielding, this change to the advice has left many bewildered and anxious.
"Patients and their families have told us throughout the pandemic that they need clear, simple and timely information which enables them to get the support they so desperately need, particularly when it comes to employment.
"Once again they feel let down."
Edel Harris, chief executive of the learning disability charity Mencap, said adding adults who have Down's syndrome to the shielding list could lead to "even higher levels of loneliness for people in this group".

If Joe Biden wins Nevada , he will have 270 electoral college votes , and he will most likely have won the election .
There 's a good chance he will declare victory at this point .

This is because there 's some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the projected winner , the race is incredibly close , and there is a small chance that Trump will overtake as the remaining ballots are counted .

Joe Biden is just one state away from victory in the US election, but it's still nail-bitingly tense as the world waits to find out if he'll deny Donald Trump a second term in the White House
What's the earliest we'll know the US election result - and what's the latest?
It's now two days since the US went to the polls to elect a new President, but we still don't have a result.
With five states left to declare a winner, it's not yet known whether Donald Trump has got a second term, or Joe Biden will be replacing him in the White House.
It's been a nail-bitingly close race, and while it looks like Joe Biden is in the lead, it all comes down to Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Nevada and Georgia.
Trump is expected to comfortably win Alaska.
The world is watching, desperate to know when there'll be a definitive result.
Here's the earliest and the latest that we could find out.

If Joe Biden wins Nevada, he will have 270 electoral college votes, and he will most likely have won the election. There's a good chance he will declare victory at this point.
But it still won't be certain.
This is because there's some uncertainty around Arizona. While Biden is the projected winner, the race is incredibly close, and there is a small chance that Trump will overtake as the remaining ballots are counted.
