RE: Vietnam has the best Covid response in the world, but does it matter?

in #vietnam5 years ago

well we are going to find out in the next couple of days what Vietnam intends to do. I notice that a lot of people are already "testing the water" as far as violating the SIP orders, and if the govt comes along and tells them to stay home another week, I think people will likely get upset and not do so.

Sort:  

Testing the water? You mean swimming or?

oh sorry, i sometimes forget that not everyone is going to understand my personal slang.

"testing the water" simply means push a little and see if you get in trouble, and then when you don't push as little bit more and a little bit more to see how much you can get away with.

in this instance it just means that people are wandering a bit further into areas each day that the government says they are not supposed to access during the lockdown such as loads of people are going to the beach or the streets to exercise at night even though this is one of the many restricted activities.

Thank you for explaining. I see many do so worldwide. To be honest I think it's good. I do not trust this man made virus neither world leaders who had a meeting in Oct 2019 already how to handle during a pandemic.
Happy day 💕
