The lessons of the crisis in Cambodia

Due to the heavy construction activities in SHV, I'd gone into VN just South of Hanoi searching for a temporary apartment. March 10th I went to Kuala Lumpur to visit friends, a city I've been to 7-8 times, and spent the lockdown here.

As English was not so popular in Ha Tinh, I feel I was fortunate to be in MY amongst people I've known for years.

As I was working on building my 1st e-Commerce project over **** I found I had plenty of time to plan this project, draw flow charts about what happens when this or that button is clicked, etc. While if I was back in SHV the temptations would not allow me to devote so much time to what's important.

I am married to a Cambodian woman and have adopted her daughter, but I cannot get a visa to return to the country.  I left to work in Kazakhstan, then the coronavirus  arrived, and I'm unable to get back into the country.  I have no idea how much longer this will go on.

Well I'm stuck in Vietnam, I'm USA citizen, that madman idiot who's doing “ such a good job with the virus “ has taken its toll on being a American abroad, I wish for the border to open so I can return to Cambodia for a visit to a dear friend who's dying, and to do a border run before Vietnam kicks me out , hard times for sure, but we shall never forget these times nor how we acted , this is a defining  moment in history, my parents never stopped talking about the depression, I have a feeling we will never stop talking about these times, hoping for a viral treatment, as opposed to a vaccination that could take years to vaccinate  the whole world , but unlike the USA president, I'm relying on science and health professionals not “ hunches” so far I've resisted injecting Lysol or bleach

Well there is certainly worldwide criticism of the leadership and actions of our governments and those in power (except New Zealand where St Jacinda saved the country single handed). But we elected them  or stood by and watched them elected.  And also we always expect our leaders to be wiser and more capable than ourselves, but the reality is that usually they are just people like us, no smarter than we are,in a tough position trying to fix things while struggling to hang on to what little power they have.
So let's save our complaints for later, do what we can to help, and remember on election day. Peace out.

I expect the most powerful country and with the best health system in the world to do better or as good as Southeast Asia has , with its limited resources, that's the least I can expect , cambodia congratulations on your rapid response and keeping your numbers down , as it starts with the leadership, as much as some Southeast Asians leaders are criticized , they have done a fantastic job, I'm thankful they are allowing me to stay in the country as a guest
