The government there had the 'hug a Chinese person' drive when there was growing concern about the unexplained acute respiratory virus announced in China.
And then the other European countries just looked on as Italy was ravaged and said 'well we couldn't halt flights to Italy, that would be offensive to Italy'. And then, after we have a major outbreak, we halt flights to Italy. Would have been an idea to do that before there was a major outbreak.
Trump went on the air and said 'we only have a dozen cases, so we expect that to get much less very quickly' and his experts had to come up to the podium and say 'we just want to stress that we actually expect more cases'.
Vietnam had its first confirmed cases on 23rd January. Their first death was 31st July.
How are you comparing the continent of Europe with communist Vietnam

If you are returning there from Spain, Malta, Greece, Croatia you get a bracelet at the border (think hospital bracelet) with a QR code and you are added to a database.
You must isolate at home and go to a test centre as soon as possible.
If you are found leaving the house out and about you get a fine.
If you don't go for a test within a specified timeframe, you get a fine.
Furthermore anyone in the house which you live in must also stay home until your test comes back negative.
Fine is 1500 and is linked to department of social protection so you are guaranteed to get if you don't comply.
It varies by region,

General measures in place for “high risk” EU countries.
Italy has imposed mandatory coronavirus testing for all travellers arriving from Croatia, Greece, Malta and Spain.
But yeah by EU standards Italy have done exceptionally well since opening up.0 -

I see the Covid Tracker is showing 100% feeling good and 0% showing some symptoms in last few days, having been 1-2% some symptoms for quite a while.
Nice to see.

Are you actually serious.
Use Taiwan as your metric if the type of government is a factor in your estimation of the worth of an epidemiological response.0 -

What rubbish are you spouting now? Does the fact that i know some people that fully recovered not fit in that misery bubble of yours? Would you like me to research and find some people that haven’t recovered? Would that make you feel all happy snug and warm? It seems to be a problem for some certain posters the fact i posted about those people, strange....
I never once deined or dismissed there is a global pandemic going on.
BTW , the reason i qouted that list saying it wasn’t relevent to me except for the last one was because you won’t see many posts from me complaining about it. So hence it was irrelevent the poster qouting them to me.
Ah Mick lighten up have you lost your sense of humour?
I was only joking.
Only misery merchants have no sense of humour.
But this in my backyardism will literally be the death of people. A relative of mine died from covid19 and another young mother still has deep fatigue months later.
Just because you dont know them personally doesnt change the fact it happened.
And Im incredibly sick of our society having to learn the hard way. Jesus what kind of imbeciles are we with ALL the warnings we have had. With the global connections and almost instant comunication and still we dismiss the evidence until we 'see' it with our own eyes. And then its too late and your knee deep in disaster crying I didnt know.
And perhaps in feb it was more understandable. But now. 6 months in and STILL the misery merchant and panic mongering labeld are being thrown around.
YES i am miserable. And rightly so. Its a miserable situation being made worse by morons who wont take simple steps to curb the bug.
And excuse me if trying to warn people is panic mongering. I have been panic mongering here since feb and unfortunately was spot on.
Funnily enough i wasnt paniced myself until now.
Ive been reading about re-infection you see.
This is a coronavirus and on average immunity to one lasts about 9 months. And the CDC reduced that to 3.
That got me curious so i started looking into it.
While there is only one study of reinfection done. (And it was a small cohort) it is a thing.
And anecdotally, 2nd time is more severe.
If you were asymptomatic the first time, its mild symptoms the 2nd. Like the phillipines minister.
Or the chinese lady who was severe first time and died the 2nd time. Then i wonder what happens 3rd or 4th times?
Now again, there has been only one study done. And noone knows if these people are outliers. But if we lose immunity to every other coronoavirus after 9 months why do we believe this one will react any differently?
That is my current misery/fear Mick.
Forgive me if i tried to lighten it with a joke at your expense.0 -
