Yes, because for schoolkids, Omicron is literally a cold, if that. The other variants, call it a bad cold. The only reason to stop them catching it is to stop them spreading it. Had someone three years ago been that concerned about someon

It's definitely 'a' future, in that there's no good reason why it would go away. It'll get better and better, but there'll always be something it can't do well. For me, the key to a no-code solution is tha

Both of those have a central authority that is granting the relevant rights. What's the advantage of an NFT over letting that central authority manage it in a centralized database? And if they won't agree to facilitate transfers,
