I don’t know the answer in this context, but in Europe the “immunity certificate” treats vaccination and recovery as equal.

The country I’m in right now, Hungary, seems to be doing as you suggest. They have about 75% vaccinated I think (a mix of just about all the vaccines available anywhere) and there is no mask mandate nor proof-of-vaccine mandate as of a few

I don’t live in the great frozen North and I had the same reaction, FWIW. The name is super witty and probably nobody in SG/HK cares, but I don’t think the people generally called Eskimos like being called that. Then again, Volkswagen

A UK person I know said they won’t install the “pingdemic” app because they would have to isolate every five minutes; instead they just use the camera app and pretend. And that’s a vaccinated person who’s pretty cautious. I would assume i

I have a similar sensitivity around my primary vocation: I'm an artist with a day job, like many others, but since my day job is programming and I take it seriously, a lot of people think of my art as a "hobby." Which it ver

I was just thinking about this today as I prepare for another transatlantic flight: we seem to all be planning for a time when mask mandates and lockdowns are over. But what if they're never over? The US and Western Europe have, by now

If they employ enough people, the slippery slope is that every employee who wants to live in NL has a claim on help to do so, and so the company is no longer geo-neutral but ends up, like so many other companies, having the “talent” in a ri

For the likes of NSO there is no “we can’t afford that,” there is only “your Highness, this will cost $MUCH” and for, say, Saudi Arabia the boss might not even blink.

I like this idea but I wonder whether the company has considered how many people would qualify, or if they just don’t employ enough people for it to be an actual slippery slope for them. All women in America, for starters, per their defin

There’s still plenty of money sloshing around the coffers of European royalty, even in modern republics. If you’re good at the greed thing I think the head-on-stick risk is pretty small.
