Extended SIX weeks more
Information/education is definitely a part of the problem for some, particularly people who get their news from their neighbors. I reckon the other big part it the same as in the States; Indonesians are not particularly compliant citizens. I don't want to list examples, because it would feel...- HappyMan

The restrictions placed upon the unvaccinated vary by province with some being more restricted...- HappyMan

DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.
Would you mind writing out a clear and concise version of that point? It might be a different question, but if you met someone who only had you as a source of information about the Covid vaccines, what would you say to them? You don't have to explain yourself to me, of course, and I know I'm a...- HappyMan

So I can be somewhat a pedant...
Is eating a vegetarian cannibalism? I mean, you'd think they would taste better than omnivores, right? Like grass-fed beef. I've not eaten a lot of omnivores, but they weren't bad, as such. Just, don't tell me what/who it is until after I've eaten it and then I can give an honest opinion. Odd...- HappyMan

DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.
You felt the need to clarify yourself to nd_eric like, three posts ago, so... Seems like the best interpretation of your post, given your general posting tendencies is, "should we really trust what they say about how effective the vaccines are?" No new data or insights, no particular arguments...- HappyMan

DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.
Fair enough, man. I haven't had a chance at a vaccine yet. I know I'll be a bit scared when I get it. I'm one of those people who always thinks the plane might crash during takeoffs and landings. I just don't tell the other passengers on the plane about it, and if I did I wouldn't be trying to...- HappyMan

Seriously, Hawk, it is not arrogance to trust the professionals. If I have 20 contactors over to price a leaking roof job and they all come in at around 300 man hours, but my mate (who like me knows nothing about building) insists it is a 50 hour job, I'm not arrogant for telling him he is...- HappyMan

Well... We aren't arguing about what the result of a coin toss will be. One side is trying to follow the best available research using the best available methods. The other side isn't. There just isn't an equivalence. If it turns out that ten years after taking the vaccines we all turn into...- HappyMan

DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.
Fair points here. There has been a growing movement to audit and reform scientific journals for some years now, but I'm not following the topic closely enough to know what the current state of affairs is. All of this very clearly needs reform in the long term... But in the short term, the...- HappyMan

That is some bad luck, man. You seem to be dealing with the frustration factor pretty well (or at least better than I would have).- HappyMan

It's my own fault for depriving you all of my presence these past few years. 😆 I have fallen behind on posts and am also unlikeable. 🤣🤣🤣- HappyMan

DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.
You managed to mix two topics (effects of vaccine and treatment/care of the infected) into one and make things rather confusing. If your objective was just to obfuscate the matter, good job. This is the sort of thing that makes people wonder whether conspiracy theorists and "alt facts" people...- HappyMan

That's a bit of a disproportionate response, don't ya think? Some small amount of people are required to take a shot that they don't want before accessing public areas so you want to disenfranchise the whole population that voted for the current government? You reckon' it will somehow be...- HappyMan

If the KITAS is for a year, the passport will also need at least a year on it. We recently discussed this (including links to the relevant regulations) here on the forum. Should be searchable.- HappyMan

Regarding the article on this website "Prepaid Electricity in Indonesia: A guide to PLN’s prabayar system"
Not an expert here, but even just not having massive holes above the doors in your rooms (a standard architectural feature here) would probably make a difference. Never seen a ventilated roof on a house. I've never lived in an Indonesian house that had seals on the doors or windows, either...- HappyMan

Today's menu:
Tortillas de papas, slightly mangled by a bad flip. I added kuchai and some of the potatoes were from last night's sauteed potatoes onions and string beans. I enjoyed it. The kid is not a huge fan of the garlic greens either, it turns out.- HappyMan

They have to balance the people who will protest against an immediate declaration of six more weeks against the people who will protest prolonged uncertainty, don't they? The uncertainty is worse in every way I can think of, but then the people who don't like uncertainty are less likely to take...- HappyMan
