Well nearly.
‘They took some honey!
And plenty of money!
They sailed away, for a year and a day to the place where the B(d)ong tree grows!
According to Official figures Vietnam has had no deaths from Corona Virus and the number of recorded cases is extremely low – 240.
People here have been wearing masks for a long time, mainly for air pollution reasons when on a motorbike but more recently it is compulsory if you are out anywhere. Supermarket staff have been wearing them for best part of a year.
The main requirements for feminine beauty here is height and white skin so Vietnamese women are obsessive about avoiding the sun and cover everything up, (Socks/gloves/ head/ neck shroud and sun glasses) for even the shortest trip on a motorbike. If they have to walk a short distance they will use anything to hand, – documents, hand bag, an item of clothing – to shield their face from the sun. These behavioural characteristics are very advantageous for avoiding the odd virus.
Schools have been shut since the TET holiday which was at the end of January and for the last two weeks Vietnam is the same as the rest of the world in that only essential services are open.
The city is very quiet and the planes have almost stopped flying.
Love and peace John
