How can Vietnam, a densely populated country in Asia, with over 97 million people, at the same time share a common border with China, with a fragile healthcare system, become one of the countries in the world that recorded a few cases of SARS-CoV-2 virus infection?



I don't know the kind of God the Vietnamese worship but if they believe in God, then I can as well say that probably, God answered their prayers, since Vietnam is one of the Asian countries that suffered in a brutal war with America in 1965. The scars of the war are still visible today.

In that war, it is estimated that between 200,000 and 250,000 South Vietnamese soldiers died. Vietnam didn't only suffer casualties, the use of bio-warfare product 'Agent Orange' used had taken its toll on the population until now, experiencing many ailments and crooked spines in children.


Thousands of kilometers from China, the origin of the disease with 82,883 cases and 4,633 deaths, the coronavirus has decimated many countries around the globe, taking its toll heavily on Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, Iran, Brazil, Turkey, Russia, etc, while Vietnam that shares a border with China has registered only 271 cases with no death. This is amazing.


What measures did the Vietnamese take? Vietnam’s Prime Minister Nguyễn Xuân Phúc, declared war on the coronavirus at the end of January when the outbreak of the coronavirus was still within China. “The fight against the epidemic is the same fight as with the enemy,” he declared.


According to the mayor of Ho Chi Minh City, there are only 900 beds in the intensive care units for the entire hospitals in the city. How can they cope with an epidemic in such conditions?

Knowing that it will be the most difficult challenge to overcome if the virus hits the country, the government as quickly as possible begins testing the population to avoid the spread of the virus.


The Vietnamese authorities, therefore, have relied on strict quarantine measures and the identification of all parts of the infection chain, earlier and better than almost every country, including the United States of America, a country with one of the best healthcare systems.

With the initial 10 cases of coronavirus infection in the whole country, the Vietnamese government began to register people, not only from the closest but also from the distant surroundings of the infected person..................

Our own na lockdown wey we know. Lockdown with no aggressive contact tracing and testing is as useless as the letter P in Psychology.

From the look of things covid19 will be with us for as long as they are making money from it. We've been rolling back malaria since. Little to no achievement so far on the malaria issue.

Our leaders couldn't care less if people die, they just want to act like they care for the sake of the international community.

Nigeria is a country that you can hardly find one positive thing to say about. The political leaders, the elite, the religious leaders, the academia and even the masses are all a problem.

What most of our people want is just to capitalize on any opportunity to enrich themselves. Nigeria is a 'ME' country and not an 'US' country.

I believe Nigeria will overcome too, one day it will surely come to reality.
