I don’t believe Vietnam has lied at all, about this.

Not a bit.

Việt Nam had a jump on the Vũ Hàn virus. It has a large overseas Chinese population and got warnings in November that this was coming. They shut the border with China immediately and started refusing flights from anywhere that had Chinese or passengers that came out of China on them. They shut down the free and easy travel that the people had grown to take for granted, not by making rules and laws but by spreading rumors that wherever you are the towns north and south of you were full of the virus.Everyone stopped traveling. The news on the TV was full of intimations without actually saying anything and the people all "read between the lines" and assumed that the government which no one trusts, was lying. I believe them when they say they have been pretty much exempt up to now. My acquaintances in different parts of the country say the same thing about those rumors, spread on the loudspeakers that are still ubiquitous . The anti Vũ Hàn measures taken worked well partly because the news was full of the Vũ Hàn hysteria from America and Europe. And the people are advised to not stay indoors.

The downside for me is that I can't get back there. All the flights just got cancelled again. I had my tickets for October and just got a notice from KAL that that flight and all others were cancelled and checked my Visa account and my ticket price was refunded already. I am not happy. I am beginning to suspect this virus was engineered for persistence. It could be years before international travel is restored. The Vietnamese authorities believe this thing to be a weapon and are not saying whether they think it escaped or was put out there. They are naturally suspicious of anything from China.

It’s probably accurate. I’m very close to the situation in Vietnam. They’ve been quite open about Covid since it began.

Interestingly we had ships dock in Vietnam months ago who caught the disease. But somehow they had no cases. Third world countries have the virus. What they don’t have is testing. They also don’t have fat old men who tend to be the ones dying from the disease. Who knew, being fat and glutenous would be so unhealthy.

They had cases. Something like 500 now total, but they controlled it.

This time however, it seems somewhat more aggressive.

Faster than it was before, maybe?

We will see.

Yes, I completely agree.

Vietnam is not an enemy.

Really.

This virus is not going away. It never went away in Vietnam. It is merely harder to hide. The country is filled with prostitutes and crowded markets and restaurants. There is no way that they have not had a low level of virus for many months. Its just that the death rate of Vietnamese is very low compared to northern countries or first world countries. The slums of Mumbai have not had the deaths that other Indian areas have had. The people there are thinner, they are outdoors more. And they have had every virus under the sun. So they likely have immunity already.

I think North Korea just reported their first case, too.

They shut down the entire country to foreigners coming in early on.

They had teams of people enforcing social distancing and mask wearing all over the country.

They had a low rate of infection as a result..................

Not that I am questioning NK’s numbers, but there were a moderate number of cases, about 100 days ago here.

This was however, the first fatality.

99 days with no cases followed by a surge and death points a strong finger in the direction of deliberate ChiCom reinfection.
