“western media wont talk about this but the vietnamese government is helping citizens fight the coronavirus by offering free /proper/ meals for people in quarantine areas and free groceries/necessities for a whole neighborhood in lockdown”

———————–

“- here people will be placed in quarantine due to travel history, showing symptoms or recent contact with current patients - the neighborhood in lockdown is because the 17th patient, possibly a “super spreader”, resided there”

“some korean travelers are also in quarantine so they were given korean meals because what if they aren’t used to vietnamese food”

“i ran out of characters but this is also meant to poke fun at how the usa and some european nations respond to this outbreak, both their government and people. anw if you constantly think of countries in the global south with your shallow eurocentric bias then karma will get you.”

“Muting this now reach me through DM if you need to! Appreciate all the good sentiments”

“your gov may be shitty but extend your appreciation and support to doctors & healthcare workers on the frontline of this crisis! if you cant wear masks, wash hands often, avoid touching MEN (Mouth Eyes Nose), and avoid crowds (PLEASE). the system is in shambles so be proactive”

“The Vietnam government makes sure the neighbors of the “super spreader” number 17th has enough food for 14 days. The citizens in quarantine be making friends, cleaning up the place together, giving out roses for women patients for International Women day, even fall in love lol~”

Also, they have developed their own kit, which is apparently easy and cheap to mass-produce and has a fail rate of 0 so far, meaning it produces accurate results every time. The kicker? The test is so efficient that you can receive the results within one hour.

“t was developed jointly by the Vietnam Military Medical University and tech firm Viet A Corporation.

It is based on reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), a technique that combines reverse transcription of RNA into DNA and amplification of specific DNA targets using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The kit can detect the new coronavirus in specimens of droplets obtained from the respiratory tract and blood samples.

Do Quyet, director of the university, said all tests done by the university and Viet A Corporation found the kit meeting World Health Organization and U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention standards.”

The initial batch is producing 10,000 a day for distribution across Vietnam, but they said they could triple the number if needed. For comparison, 10,000 tests a day is what is being administered in South Korea, with the goal being there to upgrade to 30,000 tests a day as well.
