2020 is an important pivotal year for many socio-political issues in our country.
At one time we have to face three types of enemies, then a series of other `enemies` follow.
At this time, Covid-19 is raging in China and has not yet broken out strongly in other countries.
In the last days of February, our country did not record any new cases of infection. The last week of February and the first week of March were the most peaceful times in our country.
In the middle of a monsoon day, suddenly a girl in Europe was discovered to be infected with the corona virus, marking the beginning of the second resistance against Covid-19.
In the South, drought and saltwater intrusion continue to destroy the rice granary of the Mekong Delta.
In many places in the South, clean water for daily life and production is lacking, and large water sources are salty.
The above difficulties urge us to take action. Many sponsors have donated cash and supplies for disease and drought prevention.
Each of us should be a soldier on the anti-epidemic front, limit going out except to buy necessities or be forced to go to work because of the nature of our profession, practice `social distancing`, and do not gather.
Authorities also need to urgently provide fresh and clean water to people in the southern drought-stricken region to both have clean water for use in the dry season and ensure hygiene and safety in disease prevention.
As for my family, we also strictly comply with the regulations of state agencies.
It is also thanks to this Covid epidemic that I myself have realized that I must change my lifestyle and thinking to adapt to many different situations, right from the smallest things.
It is certain that the fight against Covid-19, both drought and salt as well as its consequences, will continue for a long time.
Please stay at home for the next 15 days, maybe the entire month of April, to both fight the epidemic and prevent the epidemic, preserve your life and ensure social safety, and encourage the morale of the frontline soldiers fighting the enemy.
