“The amazing story of Vietnam, a country with a population of 90m, and a border with China and how they stopped the virus should shock the British government to its core. They put in a 14 day forced quarantine system for all nationals after the FIRST Chinese person died in China in January. They later banned all non-nationals from entering. Started a track-and-trace program. Even created their own tracing app - all in early February!! They have had 270 or so infections, ZERO deaths. This was their most critical patient. They stopped it at the border”, an account names m4rky4tes commented.
