iPhone Coronavirus Party In Vietnam
Posted by Warm Southern Breeze on Sunday, May 30, 2021
Who doesn’t like their iPhone?
The world’s most popular smartphone is ubiquitous.
And we Westerners must genuinely appreciate the slave labor used to manufacture the parts that go into the handheld electronic communication device.
And without access to cheap slave labor from our Oriental brothers and sisters in Vietnam, China, and other Southeast Asian nations, we couldn’t enjoy using the electronic devices that so captivate our attention, anesthetizing us to their, and others’ suffering.
The liberal ideal of so-called “free trade” has been perverted.
Rather than being used by our nation as a tool to sow seeds of freedom, and cultivate the fruits of liberty, it’s being abused to enslave others far from our shores in the guise of “profitability” and “progress.”
Aided and abetted by their Wall Street corporate masters and pecuniary overlords, American slavery has been exported as a material good to enrich the few at the expense of the many.
And Republicans scoff at Massachusetts Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren’s chastizement of JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon and other banksters who enriched themselves, and their corporate coffers, by TENS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS by simply continuing to charge overdraft fees to their customers who’d lost their livelihoods, jobs, and income during the the coronavirus pandemic – even though the Federal Reserve not only cut them significant fiscal slack, but also encouraged them to pass such beneficence along to their customers by forgiving such fees.
They did no such thing.
And what will democratic, freedom-loving American beneficence and largesse do in this instance?
My bet is on “Nothing.”
Gotta’ make no’ munny fuh massa’.
Vietnam Detects New Highly Transmissible Coronavirus Variant : Coronavirus Updates
Vietnam has detected a new coronavirus variant that is highly transmissible and has features of two other strains.
“Vietnam has uncovered a new COVID-19 variant combining characteristics of the two existing variants first found in India and the U.K.,” Health Minister Nguyen Thanh Long said, according to Reuters. “That the new one is an Indian variant with mutations that originally belong to the U.K. variant is very dangerous.”
The announcement came on Saturday as the country is dealing with a recent spike of infections that started in May.
Long says the new variant might be responsible for the latest surge, according to the AP.
The new variant is more transmissible in the air and Long says scientists observed the variant’s ability to replicate quickly in lab cultures, according to VnExpress.
Seven other coronavirus variants had been detected in the country prior to Saturday’s announcement. The latest variant does not have a name yet, but the ministry of health plans to publish genome data of it.
Since the pandemic began, Vietnam has reported 6,713 cases and 47 deaths as of Saturday. A little more than half of the cases and 12 of the deaths were reported in the last month, according to the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center.
A majority of the latest cases reported came from the Bac Ninh and Bac Giang provinces, both of which have a large industrial presence. Hundreds of thousands of people work there to manufacture goods for big tech companies including Samsung, Canon and Apple.
Early on in the pandemic, Vietnam was praised for low case numbers and deaths. The country’s aggressive social distancing policies and experience with prior epidemics were seen as effective measures in stopping the spread.
But since cases as increasing again, restrictions have been put in place again. All religious events are banned nationwide, and authorities in major cities have closed public parks and nonessential businesses to help stop large gatherings, according to the AP.
Nearly 29,000 people or .03% of the country has been fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
