    Vietnam is a very poor nation, but is willing to really make an effort on Covid in a way some much richer nations aren't.https://twitter.com/Rover829/status/1287625199643320321 …

    Reuters: Vietnam is evacuating 80,000 people, mostly local tourists, from the central city of Danang after three residents tested positive for the coronavirus at the weekend, the government said on Monday.

        I'd say they have more to lose. Often times people and personal relationships are of higher values when you don't have things to try to fill the empty space.

        Vietnamese people have historically for countless centuries been willing to make personal sacrifices to protect their country.

        It's poor, but it's motivated and growing. It wants to succeed. As the child of immigrants the truism holds. Poverty is a great motivator.

        The praise of the Vietnamese people and their willingness to sacrifice for the collective good is spot on, but the success of the measures also depends on one-party rule, quasi-dictatorial powers, etc. The good news is that the Party seems to be rational, following the science.

        Honestly, do you think Nguyen Van Thieu, corrupt and brutal as he was, would give two shits about protecting the country from a pandemic?

        And to think we fought a long, brutal, and bitter war to prevent its current leaders from assuming power.
