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.
