My wife and I experienced Covid in Italy, then Uk, and eventually they kicked me out and now we're in the states waiting for planes to fly back over the ocean. Depending where you are in US, you wouldn't know covid exists.
Since returning last August we've driven coast to coast twice, Florida you wouldn't know it. Beaches are packed, everything is wide open. California, nothing is open. Each state is different. We're currently in Tennessee and nobody around here has any idea why stadiums are empty, they never missed a beat in this state. Sports, gyms, salons, etc.
Just depends where you are but that's not what the media wants the world to think. Masks are not mandatory in the US but the suggestion to wear them changes in each street corner.
Thanks for the heads up! If Vietnam would allow visitors I'd come enjoy coffee with you and @trangbaby but they're not.
Thanks @dandays for being engaged in the ASEAN Hive Community. !ENGAGE 90
ENGAGEtokens.It will be a pleasure to be met @dandays. I read the news that Vietnam readies vaccine passport entry for tourists but not sure when. I will update you with any good news about it :)
Please do. Any bit of information I can gather from someone who's actually there is worth more than the stuff I ignore.
The more I hear about stadiums opening or schools, countries, of course, the closer we are to getting back to what we're good at. I know we have the rest of our lives, I'd love to see Vietnam. And I know if we make it there we'll have the best tour guide ever! 💖
You're hearing something about Covid compliant passports huh? That's terrifying.
Sure @dandays. I'm willing to guide you around if you are here. I have no idea about Covid compliant passports or any vaccination lol. We will talk about it somewhere else.
I hope you have a great week ahead, much Love
I have heard that from my friends back in the States, especially my friend who lives in Florida. When I asked him about masks he simply said "we don't do masks here." Yet they seem to have done just fine.
The media definitely has a vested interest in doom and gloom, so I tend to ignore them when they talk about Covid... they are just after ratings. Hence the reason why they almost never talk about countries like the one that I live in where everything is open and except for a couple of weeks, always has been.
I consider myself very fortunate to be "trapped" here, even though I would stay even if I wasn't.
Very well said!
We aren't supposed to be in the states right now but all things considered, thank God we landed in a state whose never heard of covid. If you wear a mask around here, they're "what's the matter?! Why the facial disguise? Is something going on outside I'm not familiar with???"
My wife and I talk about Vietnam regularly. Many people on here from Vietnam and the only thing I've ever read about it is how friendly and hospitable it is and gorgeous, nature, etc etc etc.
