Thanks.

I had also heard that, but decided not to publish anything here, just in case that was too sensitive.

But that agrees, with what I had also heard.

Wow.

:)

Great. Very looking forward to participating. For real.

There are actually some people who do not think it is responsible, to pretend there is not a serious problem we all need to pay attention to.

I have been very aware of the problem since there were 16 cases in America.

Incidentally, there were also around 16 cases here in Vietnam. I went back to America then. Came back quickly when it was evidently becoming a big issue.

I actually agree with the approach of the leadership, here in Vietnam. It worked.

Now, several days ago, somehow the country let the disease in somehow. NOW the country will return to being locked down to fight the disease.

This time is more serious, people have died. A LOT (relatively) have now been isolated. More will need to be done.

But for 100 days, the country was free of covid.

100 days.

It may very well be, from outside Vietnam.

(Just saying)

Oh I did not know that.

China is also apparently also distributing one of theirs, as well.

But only to some in the military, apparently. Not wider there, yet.

China, Russia, India and the UK. Lots, and lots of people, very soon.

C’mon Trump.

:)

Well it seems FR may not be a great source of voluntary subjects for this vaccination.

I will, though.

Let people volunteer to go first, Trump.

For real. I was also for your candidacy early (not the earliest, but pretty near)

Lets start this now.

Well I’m older than you, so pipe down.

:)

No offense, but I have been careful since February.

Leave it to people to volunteer, with the full understanding they are taking an experimental drug, and sign away any chance to collect if things go wrong.

But let's go, Trump.

Nope.

China is clobbering us. Badly.

The trade balance is ridiculously on China’s side.

Russia builds good weapons. China builds EVERYTHING.

Oh I got it.

NK women, held after repatriation?

(maybe?)

Are there lots of foreign women in prison in North Korea?

Why?

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.

Cool.

I just asked my wife what it was, she picked up a bottle to show me.

:)

Yes, I completely agree.

Vietnam is not an enemy.

Really.

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.

Well that is not altogether wrong.

Vietnam offers all of the advantages of China (price, abilities, motivation) without the huge threats, which China is already showing clearly.

Vietnam is not interested in global supremacy. It is not a closed society. It just isn’t. There is Youtube here. All the websites China does not allow, are all here. There are a couple, but not many.

Vietnamese want to cooperate with us.

China wants to dominate.

Huge diference.
