We could have nice things. Yesterday in Vietnam, they had 1 new positive Covid case. Over the past 10 months, they have only had 1,515 cases. Yesterday in the US we had 222,902 new cases. So far, in Vietnam, they have had 35 Covid deaths & so far in the US, we have about 379,000.

More people died from Covid-19 in the US yesterday, than have ever even had Coronavirus in Vietnam through the entire pandemic.
