I've always used 2nd cousins but I'm pretty sure that is wrong and there should be a x removed in there somewhere. I have "cousins" who are the great-great grandchildren of my aunt, I've got no idea what number that should be

1. No "Emerging evidence shows that getting a COVID-19 vaccine after you recover from COVID-19 infection provides added protection to your immune system. One study showed that, for people who already had COVID-19, those who do not get vaccinated after their recovery are more than 2 times as likely t...

Yes: https://www.oecd.org/tax/automatic-exchange/crs-implementation-and-assistance/tax-identification-numbers/UK-TIN.pdf That link also mentions a UTR number but I don't recall ever having or needing to provide that, so that might be more for people who are/were self-employed, the NI Number was the ...

Personally, I don’t really care what the antibody test shows, it’s not like you’re going to overdose if you get a booster while your antibody count is still high. For me personally, I don’t want to get poked an additional time just to satisfy my curiosity. Similar situation during my last Heath che...

Yes you will need re-entry approval before you leave, the various requirements are available here in the travelling to Singapore section: https://safetravel.ica.gov.sg/ In the Departing Singapore section is the following: Travellers who are required to obtain entry approval before returning to Singa...

There is a separate health declaration form you need to fill in when visiting medical offices which is uses a different QR code and system, if you are accompanying a patient (I've done this a couple of times with my wife) then you just use Trace Together. It is a bit of a pain and confusing though, ...

FDA advisory panel has recommend approval of Pfizer for under 12s: https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/26/fda-panel-recommends-pfizers-low-dose-covid-vaccine-for-kids-ages-5-to-11.html So actual FDA approval is likely to follow and then as you say I'd expect Singapore to follow suit but that might take a l...

As well as the sinophiles there's also the tinfoil hat brigade that think mRNA vaccines are a sinister plot to modify everyone's genetics, well at least those that h...

I actually believe I saw 'Seagate' on a building recently. They opened an R&D center in Ayer Rajah cluster just few years ago. Not sure about manufacturing. They have a couple of buildings in Woodlands, used to go past them on the way to our old office up there. I assumed they were manufacturing/as...

Could be a lot worse, go have a look at the Bangkok Post website for an idea of what truly incompetent (and corrupt) government looks like in the covid crisis. My wife is so glad she is here with me but very worried for her daughter back in Bangkok.

Oic, so i think that's the reason why..my helper's cousin got vaccinated perhaps because she's in her 40s. while mine is still in waitlist.
