NZ and Aussie were a joke. The absolute bs fed to our citizens and residents was complete garbage. People were genuinely conned into believing if they didn't comply with rules they would never travel again and so many people believed the lies 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

I find it interesting that barely anyone we meet knows that Vietnam mostly escaped the whole thing until 2021.

Of a population size of 99 million people, there were something like approximately 2030ish cases from the start until May 2021, only 36 people died (old and already unwell people - not one young healthy person)... That stayed well out of international news and it annoyed the heck out of me every time I heard how 'well' NZ was doing. 

1. Probably one of the most remote countries in the world, bloody hard to get to.
2. Tiny population. Numbers of course were going to be low by comparison and no one was going to bother to do maths to calculate a per capita scenario.

It still annoys me - clearly 😂
