Covid-19
HCMC to vaccinate 700,000 children against Covid-19 - VnExpress International
Tja, toch maar "Oogjes dicht en snaveltjes toe".
Saigonese queue for $3 banh mi - VnExpress International
Bekijk deze unieke opnames. Vietnamezen, netjes in een rij. Toch iets geleerd van de Covid?
En het laatste nieuws!!!
Met ingang van vandaag kunnen we weer naar Nha Trang. In feite zijn de afsluitingen nu in de gehele provincie Khah Hoa weg. Alleen tussen de provincies zijn die er nog.
Nha Trang, Vung Tau reopen public beaches, but safeguards remain - VnExpress International
Er zijn nog wel wat problemen.
Om bv. de Big C (grote supermarkt) in te mogen moet je een QR-code hebben. Naar het blijkt dat die voor heel veel mensen gewoon niet is bijgewerkt. Minh heeft één vaccinatie gehad maar geen geldige code.
Zelf kan ik geen boodschappen doen. Wat heel vervelend is voor de speciale dingen, die ik vaak nodig heb en moeilijk door iemand anders kan laten kopen. Zelfs een lijstje met bouten en moeren gaat fout als je toevallig een voorbeeld meegeeft met een andere maat.
Want…
Ik ben niet gevaccineerd.

Want…
- Ik heb geen smartphone
- Dus geen QR-code
Ik ben niet gevaccineerd.
Want…
- Je kunt hier niet het vaccin kiezen dus het kan worden:
- AstraZeneca: gedumpt door alle Europese landen
- SinoPharm: Chinees, niet getest voor boven de 60. Is de buitenlanders hier in Khanh Hoa aangeboden
- Russisch: Nog niet goedgekeurd door de WHO
- Vietnamees: Eigenlijk nog in ontwikkeling
- In Vietnam gemaakt Russisch Sputnik: nog in testfase
- Cubaans: Geen idee eigenlijk.
- Er schijnt met mondjesmaat Pfizer binnen te komen, maar die zal wel gereserveerd zijn. J

East meets West in Indochine-style
Eigenlijk zijn deze uit een artikel: “Vietnamese designer showcases tux-inspired collection”.
Maar gezien de “slechte ontvangst” van de East meet West-artikelen van de afgelopen dagen zal ik proberen om het weer wat goed te maken. Voor jullie blijft de titel redelijk kloppen. Al is het meer een showtruus dan een showkees. Toch?
Hoewel, gezien haar gelaatsuitdrukking van “Moet je iets van me?” zal meneer Twain wel gelijk hebben met zijn “and never the twain shall meet”.
Ok, Xin loi.

Beaches in Nha Trang, Vung Tau bustle after swimming ban lifted
Zie hier de herstart van het Vietnamese strandleven.
Over 1.6 million HCMC residents need second Covid vaccine shots - VnExpress International
En men lijkt nog steeds niet te begrijpen, dat één vrouw wel in 9 maanden en kindje kan krijgen, maar 9 vrouwen niet in één maand.
Je kan wel roepen dat het sneller moet, maar er is gewoon een minimum tijd voor één injectie. En misschien dat er door hier en daar wat te stroomlijnen je een fractie aan tijd kan besparen, maar ik geloof nooit dat het veel is.
Men kan m.i. beter reële planningen maken, gebaseerd op echte vaccins op voorraad en echte aantallen medisch personeel die kunnen prikken.

Schools lose student meals as communes no longer tagged 'extremely poor'

Teachers in a remote district of Vietnam's Central Highlands are worried students would drop out of schools in the absence of free meals.
At 11:30 a.m., 176 students at Dak Smar Primary and Secondary School for Ethnic Students sit down to their lunch.
Dinh Thi Luyen, a second grader, is full of excitement as she arrives at the table and waits for her food to come.
The Ba Na ethnic minority girl says she loves going to school because she is served good food and does not have to walk all the way back home and return to class every day.
Little does she know, her daily meals at school these days are no longer available and the portion she has been receiving is shared from the allowance provided for other students.
"We feel sorry for students that have lost the allowance and what’s more important, we’re worried they’re gonna quit school now that they’re no longer offered free meals, so this is the only solution we have for now to keep them around," said principal Nguyen The Anh.
Dak Smar School in the eponymous commune lies more than 30 kilometers (19 miles) from the center of Kbang District in Gia Lai Province. It has around 300 students. Most of them are ethnic Ba Na and come from poor families.
In previous years, Dak Smar Commune was tagged "extremely poor," which means each student attending school is offered VND600,000 ($26.36) and 15 kilos of rice each month.
Teachers also contribute by growing vegetables and raising pigs near the school and raise funds from benefactors to make student meals as nutritious as possible. However, everything has changed for the 2021-2022 school year as the commune has accomplished several agricultural development targets and turn from "extremely poor" to "poor", except for the commune’s Kroi Village. For that reason, all students living outside of Kroi Village are no longer allowed to receive the allowance. The same solution of sharing the allowance to provide meals for all has been applied at other schools across Kbang District.
One of those schools is Krong Secondary School in Krong Commune.
Dinh Hoi, a ninth grader, is among the students who have been offered meals shared via the allowance offered to her friends. Unlike many other students, Hoi is aware of the situation. Upset, she has refused to return to school due to a lack of motivation.
Hoi lives in a village over 10 kilometers from school.
Every Monday, she and her younger sister Dinh Thi Tuyet walk to class together. Tuyet attends a primary boarding school not very far from Hoi’s school. They stay at school until the weekend, when both are picked up by their father.
The father, Dinh Dam, said if authorities have cut the allowance for both of his children then he and his wife have no choice but to keep the girls at home and send them to work on the farm since they could not afford the school fees plus their daily meals.
"For this new school year, we have already had to borrow money to buy them new clothes," he said.
Kbang District now has 558 students in total without sponsored school meals.
"The district has made a proposal to the provincial authorities to look for other sources to support students and ensure they would not skip class," said Y Phuong, deputy chairman of Kbang District.

Hoe het daarmee staat weet ik eigenlijk niet. De school is gesloten (zie Vietnam Deel 2 e.v. )
Hồng, de kokkin is gestopt met dat werk. Dus of de minority-kinderen nog steeds naar school gaan is onduidelijk.

Torrential rains trigger flooding, disrupt life in central Vietnam (1)
Heavy rainfall has caused rivers to overflow, turned streets into streams and upturned daily life in several central Vietnam provinces over the weekend.
Streets along the iconic Hoai River in Hoi An Town, Quang Nam Province have been submerged 20-50 cm deep in floodwaters. Quang Nam has recorded rainfall of up to 305 mm since Saturday. Rainfall of 180 mm a day is considered heavy.
A combination of cold spell, tropical convergence and windward terrain of the Truong Son mountain range has caused torrential rains in the central region since Saturday.
Tran Van Binh, a resident in Hoi An Town’s Minh An Ward, takes his boat to shelter. "This is the second flooding of the year, and many streets are deep under water," Binh said.
In the mountainous district of Phuoc Son, Quang Nam Province, rising water levels in rivers and streams has worsened the flooding. A road going through Phuoc Thanh Commune is under of 40 cm of water.
"Local authorities have put up ropes and barricades to prevent vehicles from passing through this area," said Ho Van Phuc, Chairman of Phuoc Thanh Commune.
Landslides have sent rained soil and rocks to a fence protecting the Phuoc Thanh Primary and Secondary School, and this threatens to spill into classrooms. The school has 422 students who have been allowed to stay home for the last few days.
At 10 a.m. Sunday, the Dak Mi hydropower plant in Phuoc Son District recorded inflows of 5,183 cubic meters per second (cms), and the dam operator decided to discharge 2,373 cms of water. It is forecast that in the next 24 - 48 hours, Quang Nam will continue receiving heavy rainfall of up to 300 mm.
Residents push their broken down motorbikes on a flooded section of 1A Highway in the central province of Thua Thien-Hue. The province has recorded rainfall of over 400 mm over the past 24 hours.

Een artikel met statistieken op Covid-19 in Vietnam: New wave tally nears 873,000
Met soms geweldig commentaar:
221k cases. 145k in hospital? What are they doing there? The number of hospitalisations should be around 10-12% of the cases, fewer as vaccination rates increase.
Malte Christensen - 12:52 10/8

From what I've seen people needing hospital treatment is between 1% & 6% which in most cases is due to preexisting condition's.

I AGREE.... hospital rates are extremely high. Vietnam wants to keep hospitalized infected people even though their symptoms are not severe. Those people should be isolated at home. Perhaps authorities are worried they will go out and infect more people. But the huge number of hospitalizations is a huge burden on medical staff and facilities.

@tkitrader: Are.you a doctor? If not keep your opinion to yourself. Don't make judgements that you have no evidence for. Vietnam is doing the best it can. Let the medical professionals make the decisions on hospitalisation.

In my ten years here, I have seen that people commonly stay in the hospital here for minor illnesses and stays for more serious conditions are about 2-3 times longer than what you would see in the US. Doctors here many times "recommend" these stays which naturally increase costs. For example, my Vietnamese niece stayed in hospital for seven days with a typical, uncomplicated cold and fever. Revenue is the key. And yes, I'm a doctor.
Of de man echt een dokter is weet ik niet.
Ik ben in ieder geval geen dokter, maar op basis wat ik zelf in diezelfde 10 jaar heb gehoord, meegemaakt en op de verschillende sites gelezen, heeft de man volledig gelijk.

Doctors here many times "recommend" these stays which naturally increase costs. For example, my Vietnamese niece stayed in hospital for seven days with a typical, uncomplicated cold and fever. Revenue is the key. And yes, I'm a doctor.
Of de man echt een dokter is weet ik niet.
Ik ben in ieder geval geen dokter, maar op basis wat ik zelf in diezelfde 10 jaar heb gehoord, meegemaakt en op de verschillende sites gelezen, heeft de man volledig gelijk.
- Medicijnen verkopen zonder een diagnose te vertellen of waarvoor de medicijnen zijn.
- Wachten met keizerssnede tot de familie extra betaald
- Mensen die zich een beetje moe voelen aan het infuus hangen
- Etc.
Benieuwd of de nieuwe brug het overleefd heeft.

Torrential rains trigger flooding, disrupt life in central Vietnam (2)
Dragon boats usually used to transport tourists on the Huong (Perfume) River and to visit the famous Thien Mu Pagoda have been tethered to old, strong trees at the Thuong Bac Park.
Heavy rains and flows from upstream areas have caused the water level of rivers in Thua Thien Hue to rise rapidly, leaving several residential areas submerged.

In Ha Tinh Province, a cultural center in Cam Xuyen District is flooded at noon Sunday. The province has received rainfall of over 200 mm over the past 24 hours
Hoang Thi Khai, 64, a Ha Tinh local, said that she lives alone and has been very worried when it rained heavily over the past two days.
"Last night, I went to a neighbor's house to ask for help to move dozens of bags of rice along with some important things like electric fans and the television upstairs to prevent them from being washed away," Khai said.
A high school yard in Ha Tinh is flooded, forcing teachers to move teaching equipment to safe areas.
At least five people, two each in Nghe An and Thua Thien Hue and one in Quang Tri have been reported missing since Saturday.
The national weather forecasting agency has said that central provinces from Ha Tinh to Thua Thien-Hue could experience heavy rainfall of up to 500 mm until Monday.

Gevonden!
Tijdens een foto-fietstochtje (meer foto’s volgen nog) zag ik plotseling uit mijn ooghoeken iets ongewoons.
“He, leuk, een sluisje met draaihandel" dacht ik nog.
50 meter verder…
“DRAAIHANDEL? “
“STOPPEN!!!”
Gestopt, omgekeerd en teruggereden.
Ze zijn er dus in uitzonderingsgevallen nog wel.
Regelmatig komen ook blaffende honden uit huizen of poorten rennen. Onze dierenarts heeft bij zoiets zijn sleutelbeen gebroken. (Vietnam Deel 2 )
Maar op deze trip had ik een nieuwe. Ik hoor ineens wat gehijg schuin achter me. En jawel, tot op dat moment geruisloos als een sluipmoordenaar, ongetwijfeld in de stemming om stilletjes naar mijn benen te springen. Gelukkig was hij niet zo groot dus wat sneller buiten adem en kon ik de smeerlap horen.
Nee, ik ben niet gestopt, omgekeerd en teruggereden.
En ik heb altijd nog mijn fietspomp…

Vietnam’s Ly Son Island beach to make ocean-fed pool
The construction site for the ocean-fed swimming pool is shown on Ly Son Island, Quang Ngai Province, Vietnam, 2021. Photo: C.H. / Tuoi Tre
Ly Son Island District in Vietnam's Quang Ngai Province has allotted a section of its beach to a saltwater swimming pool project, which received VND5 billion (US$220,000) in investment.
The project was confirmed by Nguyen Quoc Viet, secretary of the Ly Son Party Committee, during an interview with Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper on Tuesday.
The pool was approved for both civilian and military use, according to Viet. It will be primarily utilized for military and rescue training, but it will also be opened to the public and tourists during downtime in the army’s schedule.
Spanning 60 meters in length and 35 meters in width, the project has received funding amounting to VND5 billion from the local government’s budget.
The Ly Son District Military Command was appointed as the investor for the project and will have the right to use it as a training site for rescue missions in the future.
Contractors commenced construction on August 2 to meet the completion deadline of December 31.
They are using concrete pillars to delineate the pool from the ocean and deter wind and sea forces.
However, the gaps between these currents will still allow sea currents to enter the pool.
“Ly Son is home to many places of interest and natural wonders, including a pool on top of an inactive volcano,” said Viet.
“The inauguration of the ocean-fed pool will benefit both civilian and military use, as well as bringing tourists to the area and fostering the local economy.”
Vietnam’s Ly Son Island beach to make ocean-fed pool
Met de ooit genoemde prijs van $1.200 / stuk (zie Vietnam ) hadden ze met dit geld 180 zwembaden kunnen bouwen om kinderen en (toekomstige) Vietnamese navy seals te leren zwemmen. Hoeven die militairen dat alvast niet eerst te doen.
Dat oefenen kunnen die militairen toch ook in het zwembad op de top van de vulkaan? En als ze dat beheersen, gewoon in zee. Of verwachten ze dat rampen zich alleen in zwembaden af gaan spelen?

“Als je wilt dat iets goed gebeurd moet je het zelf doen.”
Ik kreeg de vraag: “Waarom is “gebeurd” niet met een T geschreven?”
Simpel: om de subtitel aan te laten sluiten op het spandoek op de foto.
Als je nagaat, dat 3 personen + een spelling checker er overheen hebben gelezen dan zal ik het corrigeren van mijn fout ook maar zelf doen.
Dus, in de herkansing…
Fotograferen “Als je wilt dat iets goed gebeurt...”
“Als je wilt dat iets goed gebeurt moet je het zelf doen.”
Mijn lijfspreuk hier in Vietnam.
In Vietnam Deel 2 beloofde ik, dat ik alle artikelen over fotografie in het Vietnam-topic tot een boekje zou bundelen.
Wel, dat is klaar.
Op verschillende plaatsen is de tekst aangepast om het wat algemener te maken. Tevens zijn er nog wat nieuwe hoofdstukken aan toegevoegd, die ik niet op het forum heb geplaatst.
Het boek beslaat 58 pagina’s en is onderverdeeld in 4 delen:

Mag ik dan gelijk nog even de aandacht vestigen op mijn andere e-book: “Kleine bedrijven in Vietnam”? Ja, vast wel, dus op bovenstaand pagina even naar beneden scrollen.
