This is the first time the skies clear a little (about half) this morning in about two weeks, good.
Germany is a country that is doing very good. I don't read the German news daily, just not enough time so I can't comment in the overall feel. But the numbers to me mean that the German people are conscientious people on health, ...and on many many more issues, excellence. I have the greatest respect and trust for Germany.
Our numbers in Canada are similar, but Germany is ahead.
I'm also more familiar with the news in Canada, and the overall feel.
But the numbers reflect our average mentality facing the pandemic, including the news reporting...all that jazz.
Some things I like, and other things I really don't like in Canada. It's normal, like most places in the world. We aim for our best.
I was supposed to be in Quebec right now, but I decided to not fly. I am way too much @ risk personally. Here's my window's view from the ground: You drive on the road, going to town or on the highway going to another town...you are a good safe driver, you are confident of your driving skills. All good till out of nowhere (you didn't see it coming) another driver crashes right on you. With this pandemic we didn't have driving courses and the unexpected is much higher.
Also, what we know is that not everyone are on the same page when it comes to wearing masks, self-distancing, washing hands, taking preventive measures, being more alert, respect, social gatherings, travelling, etc., etc., etc.
We balance what we have, we read scientific medical reports, we listen to what our health chiefs have to say and their recommendations, we trust less the people outside the health experts, but count on them to support us economically with our taxes, our health, our jobs, our bills, our mortgages, our sanity. If it doesn't work it's much tougher for some segments than others, from our society. It becomes a much more personal responsibility for all, rich and poor, employed or not, readjustment of life.
Vietnam is doing great; what are they doing good that we don't?
