A few years? They still repair the iPhone 6, a phone thats 6 years old now. If that gives you another 2 years of use, thats a total of 8 years.

There's plenty of precedent for this. For example many countries require evidence of yellow fever immunisation upon entry, if coming from a high risk region.

This is why I mention legislation. I think we could see it becoming illegal to exclude people based on their vaccine status. Or maybe we have some sort of exemption card.

I mean obviously not yet? But it seems pretty clear that within a few months that situation is going to change.

My understanding is that with the exception of the Oxford vaccine, all the front runners use the same technology. This limitation could well apply to all of them.

The NHS is providing a certificate to show vaccination has taken place. I imagine other countries will follow suit. I could even see it ending up as an official stamp in your passport or similar.

I'm very interested to see how this sort of situation will align with the increasing number of countries/airlines/music venues/hotels/theme parks that are stating they will only admit people who have been vaccinated

Sounds like an intelligent business decision.

You're right, I grabbed the absolute numbers by mistake. I'm not sure it dilutes the point as much as you are suggesting though. Absolute numbers do matter - as the difference is still huge (~10x). It a far harder problem to conta

Sure, source: https://www.citypopulation.de/en/world/bymap/AirTrafficPasse... I don’t believe the tourism argument holds up in the slightest either. The UK has the fourth largest number of yearly inbound tour

I mentioned this in a comment above but the U.K. and New Zealand are on Different scales when it comes internationalism. The U.K. ranks 4th worldwide for international travellers per capita, and New Zealand 38th. Looking at the numbers for

I disagree. The UK’s economy is far more international than New Zealand’s. The U.K. ranks 4th worldwide for international travellers per capita, and New Zealand 38th. Shutting down air travel to the financial centre of the world would have

Your example proves exactly the opposite of the point you think it does. Every year the flu virus comes back slightly mutated, and the immunity process starts all over again. In the summer the southern hemisphere acts as of reservoir of the

Not for developing countries. And ultimately it is important for them to get vaccinated too, otherwise they will form a huge reservoir of COVID that will inevitably mutate and come back around to us.

Is therapy the same as counselling?

This is pretty damming to anyone who claims "its just the flu": “More than three times as many deaths were recorded between January and August this year where COVID-19 was the underlying cause compared to influenza and pneumonia.&

Your comment about car insurance is incorrect. Actually in the UK you do not need to carry any evidence of insurance, MOT, or your licence. If you are stopped, you have 14 days to present it to a police station. Which I think is actually ev

Is your company ok with you using a personal computer for work? I would love to be able to do that, but the firm I work for would sooner let me work from the moon.

Are we just engaging in lazy cultural generalisations now? This feels in poor taste.

That is really cool, thank you for taking the time to answer my question. I really consider the BBC is a national treasure and I hope we can preserve it.

I wonder how many more times we are going to have to go through this political posturing game with this 'revoked-but-not-really-revoked' licence system. By now we all know there is no real possibility of Uber not actually operatin

Thats very interesting, you seem to know a lot about how the BBC is structured. Do you mind if I ask how the for-profit prohibition of their charter aligns with the ad-supported international BBC News websites and broadcasts on BBC Worldwid

Eh, it can be handy to have cheat sheet like that if you're comfortable conceptually with Git but need to quickly change something and don't know the exact syntax. After all git is a tool not a lifestyle, sometimes I just need to

Does anyone with experience with this sort if thing know what kind of deal this is? It seems quite cheap.

How does "massive international deep state conspiracy to censor reporting on a trial" vs "innocently/negligently flagged due to x" not hold up to Occam's Razor?

In most developed countries driving on the beach is illegal, except for specific areas.

I don't find that reassuring at all.

Those red bellied Emirates A380s stand out so well against the sky.
