What strain(s) hit Vietnam?

Couldn’t have said it better myself.  We LOL’d at a great number of idiots yesterday while out and about.

What strain(s) hit Vietnam?

Do you think they just got an easy strain and didn't take effective action?

good thread.  it is absolutely infuriating that we aren't farther along on testing, on contact tracing and on quarantining.  in most of the country, we've been shut down for over a month and as far as i can tell from publicly available information we've made little to no progress in putting in to place a framework to reduce and control the rate of transmission as we relax shutdown measures.

Not only frustrating it's completely unacceptable.  It's almost like we've thrown in the towel on this first round and just hope to get a plan together for when it comes back vs. if we did this correctly now there is a good chance we wouldn't have much of a round 2 to deal with.

Failures at all levels of government in my mind and a lot has to do with the chipping away at funding our public health agencies.

This is exactly his worthless talking point.  Trump got an extra hard strain to control, that's the only reason we're the #1 worst country in the world at handling this.

Pretty interesting read from clicking through the tweets sys shared. If you act early and are effective at isolating cases, it doesn't even seem that hard to keep your numbers down.

Out of curiosity, what metric are you basing this on?

Translation:  They are saying things that aren't in line with the lies I'm parroting from CNN, etc.

Deaths, infections, testing

But we test way more than any other country.

The greater strains have viral loads up to 236x the lessor strains.   The Euro Strain that hit the NE U.S. is at or near the upper end of the spectrum.

I know that doesn't fit your bullshit political narrative, but until those kinds of questions are answered then trying to make comparisons is idiocy.

Hopefully while you're reading this you're in the process of decoupling your company from production in mainland China.   The Taiwanese or the Canadians would appreciate the additional business.  Better yet, the United States. 

Let's see, major industrial regions of China:

Real Time Particulate up to 2.5 microns . . . stunner here:  Very Unhealthy

Real Time Particulate up to 10 microns . . . stunner again:  Very Unhealthy

Real Time Carbon Emissions . . . more stunners:   Highest in the world

Yes the U.S. has conducted the most total tests, but not per percentage of the population or per 100,000 residents or whatever.

Ah ok so we're using per capita numbers?

How do we compare per capita deaths/testing-wise with France I wonder?

Here's a link:  https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries

It's fine to be critical of the US's/Trump's response -- it definitely deserves criticism. But it's annoying when people are like "we're doing far worse than anyone else in the world."  No, we're not.

No, we're not dead last in the metrics that you cited, but we used to be a leader of innovation. Now we're somewhere near the bottom

That's a very helpful link.

I'm sorry that you took it literally, but I also don't think that you should so strongly defend not being dead last.

if you read the article I linked you can see they definitely had cases that originated in Europe. I'm just interested in how they responded, which seems straightforward and effective. I don't think I'm the one trying to make a political narrative here.

My bad. Please feel free to continue spouting off incorrect information based on statistics you've never read.

To be fair, we're doing better than I thought, but it's hardly worth defending.
