news just in from UK

Boris Johnson has given a speech outlining "England SCRAPS vaccine passports, REVERSES child vax decision,  "The prime minister also announced that those 12-15 years of age would be able to now get a COVID-19 vaccine jab, and the country would be moving forward with a booster program for those 50 and older and those under 50 considered more vulnerable, taken six months after the second jab."

The passport idea was for crowded venues like night clubs etc.

Maybe its because of pushback from protests? or maybe whats happened with the pushback from no jab no job mandates elsewhere.

Meanwhile on VNexpress news stories about only 42% of worlds population has been vaccinated and covid is going to be around until 90-95% says advisor to US President.

Us President has plans to ask world leaders to donate 1 Billion shots to try to vaccinate 70% of the worlds population.

Vnexpress also has a very sad story of orphans after covid has taken their parents.

Anyone have any other news today?

People in the "green zone" can exercise in the local park

Local authorities consider allowing the resumption of physical training and sports activities at parks in residential areas and apartment buildings in "green zones" if they ensure safety regulations for epidemic prevention and control. and must be 5K compliant.

Previously, from July 9, when the Directive 16 began to be applied, exercise and sports in large parks and parks in the inner city were banned.

While you are 100% correct I started this thread as a mix of local info from news sources and a light-hearted place to have a joke to relieve some of the stress from all this crap that none of us like.

I for one are way over this stuff and am at 99% of going bat shit crazy and jumping off my friggin roof, we know from news stories around the world countries are changing tack about "herd immunity" and lockdowns so maybe things with soon change, until then, make a joke or join Jigs & I fighting the Pretty silky smooth mankini wearing Collin.

From VNEXPRESS

Dr. Luong Hoai Nam
"not recording a new infection chain in a week" in Ho Chi Minh City is difficult to achieve sustainably in the long run. He cited, countries with high vaccination rates such as Israel, some countries in Europe, North America ... have also abandoned the goal of "herd immunity" because new infections still arise. Therefore, when Ho Chi Minh City and other localities are vaccinated with enough doses for the entire adult population, new outbreaks may still occur, but there will be fewer severe cases and deaths.

"The criteria of the Ministry of Health can put Ho Chi Minh City in a situation where the locality cannot claim to control the disease even though it is covered with a vaccine and has made a lot of progress in the treatment of Covid-19. At that time, people will must continue to stay at home, and economic and social activities have not yet reopened,"

FPT builds a school to raise 1,000 children orphaned by Covid-19

"Less than 24 hours after having the idea, Mr. Truong Gia Binh decided that FPT would open a school to raise 1,000 young children who lost their parents due to the Covid-19 epidemic until they grow up.

After statistics on thousands of orphans due to the epidemic, on September 16, FPT Chairman Truong Gia Binh announced the establishment of a school and provided for the entire nurturing and training of 1,000 children who had lost their parents because of Covid-19. -19.

He said he was partly inspired by his own childhood having spent cold, hungry and lonely nights during the war when he was away from his parents when he was only 8."

Well done FTP - I'll keep paying my internet/tv bill.

'Ho Chi Minh City needs to redraw the anti-epidemic map to each neighborhood'

Ho Chi Minh City needs to redraw the map to assess the risk of disease to residential groups and neighborhoods and apply corresponding prevention measures, Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam suggested.

"In the coming time, Ho Chi Minh City needs to control the epidemic well, gradually reopening activities to return to a new normal state, in the spirit of "step-by-step reopening, firmly and safely".

"Definitely not reopening activities that are not safe, but if it is safe to not open, it will be a waste of effort and resources to fight the epidemic," the Deputy Prime Minister noted.

Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Phan Van Mai said that after three weeks of strengthening the distance, districts and Thu Duc city "have gradually expanded the green zone, narrowed the red zone, achieving good results".

Through testing sessions, the infection rate gradually decreased in the red and orange areas.

The rate of F0 requiring emergency care and death "reduced markedly". The city has given the first shot to 92% of the adult population; The second dose reached 24%, and there was only enough vaccine left on September 17. The city wishes to have more sources of vaccines to give people the second dose."

Sounds like they are changing tack a little more towards opening up.


The President proposed 'worthy' treatment for doctors and nurses to fight the epidemic
"President Nguyen Xuan Phuc proposed to consider the treatment and recognition regime more deserving of the medical staff, who are on the front lines of the fight against the epidemic.

Sharing the emotion of the brave hearts, dedicated spirit, and selfless example of self-sacrifice of the medical staff, police officers, army and even volunteers, the President proposed Suggest that the Government, ministries and Ho Chi Minh City authorities consider the treatment and recognition regime more worthy of the team of doctors and nurses, who are on the front lines of the fight against the epidemic."

A lot of medical staff had been sharing their concerns about getting fed and working conditions. sounds like they may get the help and reward they deserve.
