Not saying you're wrong, but who is at 99% vaccinated?

My bad, Singapore is at 91% vaccination rate [1]. Unfortunately, they are seeing a surge of cases right now[2]. I wish herd immunity was true but it doesn't seem to be working.

As mentioned below, Gibraltar has a >99% double-vax rate and recently decided to cancel its Christmas celebrations given its current surge in cases. [1]
I'm not really sure what to make of this, though the country's so tiny (population of 33k), I wouldn't jump to any major conclusions.

Hello! I read in an old post that you worked for Quanta. My name is Humberto Mockel, I´m form Bahia Blanca, Argentina. I´m a volunteer for a retro computers museum in my city. Recently we got some equipment from a local TV channel. One of them is a Quanta "Quantafont" character generator. I´m looking for software and documentation for it, as there´s nothing online. Please contact me at [email protected] if you have any info!! Thanks in advance

Yes, I did work for Quanta, but no, I don't have any software or documentation for a Quantafont. My best advice would be to contact Utah Scientific, at 4750 Wiley Post Way, Suite 200, Salt Lake City, UT 84116 USA. They may have inherited the corporate remains of the Quantafont product line, or they may know who did.

Good luck Humberto! Retro computing museums are wonderfully fascinating places and are only possible because of folks like you. Your work is appreciated!
