US State Department Issues Level 4 Do Not Travel Warning For Vietnam

122,471 cases today up from 86,*** yesterday
Link to Vietnam daily covid numbers

Just like rest of the world Omicron is here and spiking the figures which is lasting around a month and displacing the more deadly Delta strain.

I'm living and working in Binh Duong, but I didn't notice how serious Convid is in Vietnam until I saw this topic. I even went to Hochiminh last weekend!
I think the reason I can't notice it, is because I have stayed in the factory from Monday to Saturday...

That doesn't look good. The party is not going to be happy. 



google "vietnam covid". All time high cases, ...



but few deaths.  How is March 15 looking? 

On a selfish note, perhaps this will scare enough people away that airline fares drop...

Wait a minute, apes ...    

Biden's minions have:
158 countries at Level 4: Do not travel
42 countries at Level 3: Reconsider Travel and
11 tiny dumps at Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution

Travel.State.Gov > Travel Advisories

Ridiculous and meaningless!    Government over-protection much?

Back months ago the daily count was 12-15,000 and 200-300 deaths that was Delta now Omicron is here the count is 122,000 and 108 deaths so yes much less deadly as world data shows.

Other countries report symptoms are that of flu, runny nose , cough etc and feeling sick 3-5 days back to work in 7, unless non - vac previous conditions etc.

If  Vietnam follows the trend cases should spike and go back down within a month.

Seeing that most the countries Vietnam is opening it's borders to have already gone through Omicron there should be no reason not to let them in.

Yup, 100 deaths along with 100k new cases, every one of those people died "with" covid, not "from" covid: very old and/or with multiple co-morbidities. Like how seasonal flu has often been the final push for those on the edge in nursing homes.

Good information, bad news. Omicron certainly has arrived. Combining this with TET's 10 days of nonstop karaoke partying helped create a perfect storm, (opinion) void of solid facts. Based only on what I observed in Danang. Numbers started climbing again shortly after the TET holiday. The timing couldn't be worse. Tourism's Danang's bread and butter. The feeling was the tourist surge was just around the corner. The good news, Danang has a high vaccine and booster rate. Hoping all of Vietnam has a quick turnaround and again pointed towards the better times we all knew. After climbing the walls for months on end, ALL DESERVE IT!

Things must be pretty wild for the CDC to recommend traveling to Vietnam contrary to what is being advertised by the Ministry of Tourism and alike. I guess Covid is still winning there. Best of luck to everyone who's still living or stuck there.

My stepson just last week recovered from COVID in HCMC.   His case was relatively mild as he had three doses of Pfizer.  I expected that he had had Omicron but he said he was told that he had Delta.  The silver lining of Omicron, if you can say there is one, is that it seems to replace Delta in the environment.   Sorry that is not really a scientific statement but just what I read in the general press.

And the threat level for Japan is also...https://travel.state.gov/content/travel … isory.html

Funny thing is I still feel safer her in Vietnam than I would feel back in America.

I thought that too. Until my in-laws family came down with it. And the nephews wife. And my friend + wife. And everyone in my wife's office is F0 or F1 today, they sent everyone home for a week. Three people there went F0 for the second time. My wife is F1 as of today, for the 2rd time. This is all in the last 2 weeks.

So far, keeping the wolves out. Wish I had a better weapon.

When a lot of people were dying from covid, I didn't know anybody who'd had it.

Now that fewer people are dying from covid, it seems like everybody I know is catching it or has caught it.

It's getting easier to say who hasnt had Omicron, out of family and friends everyone has had it I only know 1 person who hasnt had it yet - but he just went to a weddiing yesterday and another one next week so chances are he will have had it by end of the month.

With 250k-450k cases a day and they are only the reported cases it will have gone through Vietnam within the next month, the BA.02 strain is more contagious but less harmfull.

My symptoms were cough, high temp, headache for 3 days then cough lasting another week, neg after 6 days.

Boys were high temp fo 2 days & cough which lasted 2 weeks.

If you have had flu before think flu with a persistant dry cough.

Nobody in my family has caught it but several of my online students have now had it or currently have it. It seems like it's spreading pretty rapidly. I'm hoping it doesn't reach the family here as my father in law is around 90 years old now and it just might take him.

Hi, I DO NOT want to make light of the severity of covid, at the moment the strain of covid going around is Omicron BA.01 & BA.02, Ba.01 is the stronger symptoms but BA.02 is the more contagious but weaker syptoms, BA.02 is pushing aside the BA.01 strain as it is spreading quicker.

Omicron does not go into the lungs like Delta did and cause the very severe breathing etc, it is an upper airways type virus so fingers crossed he will be ok.

If you can get him to take Vit C tablets plus Vit D every day to load his body up in case he gets it.

The worse was the dry cough, pharmacy have a spray to deaden the effects.

Looks like Vietnam may have hit the peak and on the way back down as the trend in most countries with Omicron.

Here is the deaths data, Omicron wave started around 6th Feb the other waves were Alpha and Delta you can see the huge difference in severity between previous strains and Omicron, some of the deaths are people who had Delta and have been in hospital weeks or months before passing away.



Here is website for all countries, gives running totals for cases deaths etc, however it lags a couple of days in live data.

You can seach one country or overlay multiple countries.

It was aimed at Drutter who was worried about his father in law, data is that Omicron less deadly, so may put his mind at ease seeing its not the killer delta strain was.
