After more than 30 days of no new confirmed case, Cambodia Health Ministry finally posts ZERO ACTIVE CASE on its Facebook page. However, the ministry still reminds its citizens to stay alerted; as long as there's no vaccine, Cambodia is not considered as 100% safe.

All of 122 Cambodia's confirmed cases have recovered and there is no fatality. Also Thailand, Laos, Vietnam are getting close to clearing all the cases.

The fact that all of these direct neighbors of China have a very small outbreak of the virus and they're close to containing the virus shows the truth of the matter. That China had not been trying to cover up the virus of which some in the West have been framing China.

Viet Nam has one Covid19 patient (patient 251) died on 1-May, however, Vietnamese as well as WHO officials confirm that the reason of death is not related to Covid19 as the patient has liver disease.

I think there are at least two points different in culture between the West and the East:
1. Eastern people rely on themselves rather government. We need to have our own saving for use in case of emergency. The children, grand-children will look after their parents and grand-parents when they are old. We usually don't buy insurance (not all, of cause). On the other hand, Western people would want their environment ready for them to live and that is the job of government. That's good for social welfare but in case government doesn't work or cannot work, their lives go into chaos.
2. Eastern people are easier to control then Western counterparts. In case of Covid19, government tells its people to stay at home and people stay at home. In case of Cambodia, people even stay at home before government told them to do so (again, not everyone, of course). Some business practice work from home or temporary close their business voluntarily. Western people OTOH always want their RIGHTS. Because the people think that government cannot deprive their rights on traveling, they go outdoors despite warnings. What's worse, they don't even believe that the novel corona virus can be dangerous for them. I saw something on the net "Corona virus was made in China, so it won't last long". Now, this is what they get for being ignorant.

Who is "the west"?

Many European countrys had a lockdown and are now opening with mitigation measures. And they know: with mitigation measures from the beginning the large-scale lockdown could have been avoided.

All European countries are very vigilant at the moment and react quickly. Europeans will see local lockdowns everytime there is a new breakout.

I think that is the same situation as in Asia.

Ok, I didn't believe the idea that COVID-19 came from the US, but this is making me rethink that position.

The exercise, code named “Crimson Contagion,” had eerie similarities to the current real-life coronavirus pandemic.

The exercise involved officials from more than a dozen federal agencies, several states and hospitals responding to a scenario in which a pandemic flu that began in China was spread by international tourists and was deemed a pandemic 47 days after the first outbreak.

This was run from January to August 2019!

China was locked down on January 23, WHO declared pandemic on March 11, exactly 47 days later!

We can extrapolate future behavior of a country from their COVID response. Especially if they don't wear masks and don't social distance. They have a pathological lack of empathy and regard for others wellbeing.

The selfish mentality will dictate their future behavior in geopolitics.
