    Vaccine effectiveness and Herd Immunity

    If you read what I wrote, instead of directly jumping to missing the point as always, you would see that I did. Anyway carry on...

    Vaccine effectiveness and Herd Immunity

    Linked below is an article summarizing an FDA meeting on authorizing vaccines for 5-11 years old. Two things I thought were interesting: 1. Vaccine trial was for 2,268 trial participants and an additional “safety expansion” group of an additional 2,379 participants. Of these, there were 5...

    Vaccine effectiveness and Herd Immunity

    Here is data from the Singapore Ministry of Health re: vaccine effectiveness in preventing severe Covid. Some people seem to get hung up on the 55-45% number of unvaccinated/vs vaccinated severe cases in Singapore, without comprehending that the vaccinated outnumber the unvaccinated 4 to 1, so...

    Vaccine effectiveness and Herd Immunity

    And I repeat myself also, please present the whole picture. The 55%-45% percentage of severe cases in non-vaccinated/vaccinated is meaningless if we don't present the vaccination status of the whole population (in this case 80%). In fact, you can. Again you are either still not understanding...

    How do you guys invest?

    You need to consult your own tax consultant, this is not financial advice, etc. : 1. Indonesia charges a flat rate (PPh final) of 10% for dividends. Since it is PPh final, it doesn't take into account your income levels etc. 2. Starting this year, Indonesia waives dividend taxes if you invest...

    Vaccine effectiveness and Herd Immunity

    What you fail to mention is that Singapore is currently 80% fully vaccinated. So there are 4x more fully vaccinated people vs unvaccinated, yet they are a minority in severe cases. Proving once again that vaccines save lives and medical resources.

    Vaccine effectiveness and Herd Immunity

    Funny you should choose BCG, a vaccine with about 70-80% efficacy, which means people in fact do get TBC after vaccination. Just because YOU don't know that, doesn't mean it doesn't happen. It only works "magically" to you because you haven't got the faintest idea of how anything works or how...

    Vaccine effectiveness and Herd Immunity

    You either can't do a basic internet search or aren't able to process simple information. Imagine having access to almost the entirety of human knowledge at your fingertips via the internet and still thinking this. :ROFLMAO: Let me try your "logic": When they say condoms prevent...

    Quarantine Confusion

    You clearly are confused about what visas are currently available. Tourism is just one of the categories now once again allowed for B211 visas. All the mentions of tourist visas currently mean B211A for the purpose of tourism. Citizens of the 19 countries listed can apply for B211A for the...

    Quarantine Confusion

    It seems the countries selected are based on WHO transmission criteria, so independent on whether they actually have flights to Bali or even Indonesia. Also, this applies to direct flights only, according to Pak Luhut. Of the 19 countries, I think only UAE, NZ, Qatar, China, India, Japan, SK...

    Quarantine Confusion

    That link doesn't say anything about VoA/visa-free. In fact, it gives other requirements such as US$100k health insurance and proof of quarantine hotel booking. All of which are usually vetted during a visa application process. Until there is a PerMen saying that VoA/visa-free is re-opened...

    Quarantine Confusion

    Hmm...I missed this then. Do you have a link to a reference? The latest Permen from Sept'21 still says no Visa-Free or VoA, and the latest KepMen says you can apply for B221A visa under the Tourism category, which was previously not available.

    Quarantine Confusion

    It's definitely going to be amended depending on the situation. If cases stay low, maybe quarantine will be lowered/eliminated. The rule also allows for a quarantine waiver for reciprocal travel corridor arrangements (none exist as of now). Also, there is still no "regular" tourism such as...

    Quarantine Confusion

    Latest letter from Covid task force: 1. Quarantine reduced to 5 days. 2. Negative PCR required 3x24hrs prior to travel. 3. Negative PCR required on day 4 of quarantine to end quarantine on day 5. 4. If you test positive, you will be taken to a medical facility depending on the symptoms. This...

    dontcha just love it

    The most impressive shipping from a Toped seller was one time I ordered some Se'i from Kupang at 8 am, and it arrived in Bali by 1 pm. This was before Covid tho, so there were daily flights from Kupang to Denpasar. Other than that, if I want something fast, I sort by sellers in my city only...

    KITAP - The "Unlimited" One

    Duh, sorry, yeah it's not free...got it confused with EPO being free. For my last KITAP, I didn't get the 3rd MERP (only 2 x 2 years, so one year in Indonesia without MERP), and it was not an issue.
