Maybe I should explain myself a bit more. I'm not scared about this virus, and I think Cambodia has been a great place to sit out this pandemic until let's say a month ago.

The government has shifted to 'freaking fear mode' a few weeks ago, making life a lot more difficult for everyone in Cambodia, in order to pretend they're controlling 'the outbreak'. They clearly aren't. Since they aren't I hope / suggest them to go back to the old normal and my guess is not much will change if we all do. Some people will report in ill, some will die, but most of it will go by unnoticed just like in the 13 months before the switch to 'freaking fear mode'.

Could not agree with you any more with what you have said, Cambodia has had something on its side for a very longtime. Looking at the numbers, population, testing, between Cambodia and Vietnam. Cambodia is tallying up the death rate unfortunately. It more than likely did from the start, so many seem die here with heart attack as the cause. It seems at first the low numbers of the virus, made the officials look very good at controlling and treating the people who had succumbed to covid19, and until now they had been very few incidents. But now going back a few months it does seem to be an accumulation of events that have led to the numbers we have now, it seemed to start around the time, when the country was asking for vaccines, or not long after. The possible uncontrolled flow of migrant workers fleeing the out brake of covod19 in Thailand. Then last the quarantined people absconding their quarantine time.
Now the word is the covid is not that of what was here firstly, but now that of a more deadly strain, this is now affecting the young too. We know too the old and ill are very vulnerable.
I have no idea what the medication is here for the covid treatment, before anti-malaria medicines were used like there was in many countries, that time the WHO was concerned due to stocks getting low.

Could you check the document? I have been advised just now its from midnight tomorrow night.

Just had a Khmer person read the document. He confirmed its from tomorrow night.
