Peaceful beauty of Cam Dong bamboo bridge at noon. That is probably the only special and unique bamboo bridge left in the plains of Quang. Day by day, people in Cam Dong village (Dien Phong commune, Dien Ban town, Quang Nam) call each other across the bridge, cross the Vinh Dien river to the Go Dinh alluvial flat on the edge of the river to plant and collect crops. harvest crops. Go Dinh alluvial ground with an area of ​​​​nearly 90 hectares is a key agricultural cultivation area of ​​Dien Phong commune. That bamboo bridge, over the years, the water washed up, broke it in half and engulfed the whole bridge, I don’t know how many times it was built. Just know that in the childhood memories of every child born and raised in Cam Dong are associated with many memories by this bamboo bridge. For now, the children who used to follow their mother across the bridge and bathe in river water at the foot of that bridge are now grown up, wandering around in all directions, but in their hearts, the image of that bamboo bridge always remains. forever in your heart. This bamboo bridge is where Cam Dong people cross the alluvial ground across the river to cultivate. Every year, every wave of water is broken, people spend a lot of money and bamboo to build a new bamboo bridge. The bamboo bridge across Cam Dong banks was built again. The bridge is tens of meters long, less than 1m wide, quite high above the water surface, with a handrail on one side, looks very precarious when passing. Each bridge is assembled from more than 100 old bamboo trees with a width of 1m and a length of about 120m. This bamboo bridge is assembled from hundreds of bamboo trees available in the village. Although the bamboo bridge is not strong, it is more convenient and faster than taking a ferry, so people here contribute money and contribute to building a bridge to travel and earn a living for decades. When having difficulty while carrying heavy loads across the bridge they often help each other. Ms. Phan Thi Le, a Cam Dong resident shared, since she was young, she had a bamboo bridge across the river. For decades, the bridge has remained a unique way to bring people in Cam Dong village through farming. at the beaches. There are many memories attached to this bamboo bridge until now when I am old, but those memories are still clearly remembered, many great countries have witnessed the growth and aging of the people here. For decades, the bridge is still the only way to bring the people of Cam Dong village through farming in the coastal areas. With this small bamboo bridge, everyday life in every moment appears so beautiful. Many people can’t help but be moved by the picturesque riverside village scene. In the mornings or evenings, the scene of mothers and grandmothers throwing their burdens on the bridge evokes memories of each person following their mother to the fields when they were children. On sunny afternoons, the bridge becomes magically beautiful in front of the red sky. On this bamboo bridge, village love and neighborliness, mutual concessions or mutual assistance always take place. A woman with the first load of vegetables walks on the bridge, another will give way to make it easier to carry a full load of vegetables across the bridge. Sometimes, an old woman with a heavy load of vegetables has someone to help carry a part. Just like that, the early morning on the bridge are sincere and sincere Quang farmers. Beside that river, the feet are still dangling over the river day by day. Mr. Duong Huan – Head of Cam Dong village said: “For decades, local people have spent hundreds of millions of dong just to build a few bamboo bridges each year. However, its lifespan is unpredictable and completely at the mercy of heaven and earth. Whenever there is a big flood, the bridge will drift. Then do it again. Just let it go. If we don’t have a bridge, we can go by boat, but the boat is too cold, so we fully understand that we are going to take the tin boat. There are years due to continuous natural disasters that cause local people to build temporary bamboo bridges several times!”. In the past, Cam Dong village was very poor, the whole village had no roads, electricity, stations, and schools. Because it is located close to the river, the houses have to be built very high. The traces of each flood are still imprinted on every house. Mr. Duong Huan has been the village chief for decades, so this place is very clear. Over the past ten years, this poor village has changed skin and flesh, the ODA grid pulls electricity to households, there is one pole in every 10 houses. With electricity, everything changes. Sugar, water for domestic use, production output keeps increasing year by year. Rural concrete roads have been around since 2001. With this small bamboo bridge, everyday life in every moment appears so beautiful. And for some people, with the rustic, unspoiled beauty with the scenery of Vietnam’s peaceful countryside, Cam Dong bamboo bridge has long become an interesting destination for tourists when coming to Quang Nam. In the early dawn or dusk, the bamboo bridge printed on the rolling water surface, the simple beauty is like a silk screen crossing the Vinh Dien river, creating a beautiful picture of the countryside. Cam Dong Bamboo Bridge has long become an interesting destination for tourists coming to Quang Nam. When the sunset fades, it is time for the farmers to return home to rest after a hard day. And just like that, Cam Dong bamboo bridge gradually became a famous address for country photography enthusiasts to capture the picturesque moment. Life goes on in peace with the rustic beauty of Quang’s countryside. Beside that river, the feet are still dangling over the river day by day. Alluvium is still deposited along the beach, the land that has been attached for generations is still in the middle of that river. And the bamboo bridge for many generations is still day by day swaying with each step of the farmers back and forth, as a witness of life and of people in this Cam Dong country.

Panorama of Cai Rang floating market. The deeper you go inside the floating market, the more vivid the life of the merchants becomes. Mr. Tin, who has spent many years going up and down the Hau Giang river, confided: “For several generations, he made a boat as a home, all day he drifted along the water, but since then life has become more stable and his children have been educated.” The floating market is crowded with boats. The goods at the market are very diverse, most of which are specialty fruits of the river garden. There are also dried fish, crafts, necessities and food service included. Selling something, people hang that item on a tree stuck in the bow of the boat, in a unique way of advertising and offering. Diverse types of dried fish and essential products. The boats are full of goods with the familiar image of a palm tree in front. In particular, when coming to the floating market, it is impossible not to mention the “shake” noodle dish.

Many years ago, my uncle Warm often made an appointment when my grandmother’s death anniversary was reunited in Thanh Minh period. “My family goes to Duoi market so that we can go to Mo market very much. Why does Ms. Ba have to go up to Buoi market to shop for something, far away?”, Mr. Warm asked. My mother replied: “I let her grandchild go to the market. I just went back to Buoi market with many things to carry to let him know the market is fair.” Come on vegetables, melon and fruit cake, all kinds of fragrant leaves. That is the way to go to the market from the previous day to contribute to my grandmother’s death anniversary, my mother used to let my children go to the market. The price of the train ticket at that time was only a few cents to hear tinkling to Dong Xuan market, through Hang Dau booth, then through Quan Thanh temple, finally up to Buoi market. The fair is over, the hat is undulating, the burden is full of people, the hat is full of leaves, and the clothes are black and cloth. In March the carpentry flower bloomed, the thorny taffeta rose, I had a market filled with the scent of flowers. Then my mother gave me a gift of silk rolls on the eyes of Mrs. Tu hump. Mrs. Tu’s back was cuffed, but her cake was thin and delicious. Fish sauce from the market is not as delicious as at home, but Mrs. Tu adds a taste of ca cuong and fresh chili, a pinch of oregano, the taste of home market gifts. Once I took the tram back, down the lake, my mother fed me pho. Now I want to find the market in Hanoi, no longer see the burden anymore. The lever, perhaps only sold at the market Vieng – fair only for luck. From rows of vegetables, fruit rows, bamboo cages containing geese, chickens, baskets, baskets … many things it kept hidden in the heart, could not erase the soul of the twisted pair on the shoulder. human life of the last century. In March, it was drizzling and rainy, so I just wanted to get sunny. Who can buy March sunshine in Hanoi? The sun also makes the face of the countryside market, especially the shops, to smell the spices. Curved beams, one side of the burden is cold vermicelli vermicelli, wooden ladle pouring vinegar flavored with vinegar suddenly sour and spicy of dried chili and pounded with chicken fat. The vermicelli leaves count hundreds, the small mussel leaves are filled with cold water. the whole season of com, bringing rice steam into the city. Now the Hanoi market lacks a couple, the Mo market, the Buoi market, is already bright high-rise greenhouses. The counter selling tobacco leaves, the herbal medicine of Dai Yen villagers is also located on the cement base. Cement and paving stone, have breathed the flavor of the leaves, let the natural look of nature in the market soul. Then the basket is sifted, and the bamboo is less. Second, to bamboo shoots, vermicelli, rice cakes also vacuum. If you keep going to the supermarket at the listed price with the glasses on, sometimes the old mother just gazes blankly … everything in the modern market has changed drastically. Watching people swipe the payment card, no bargaining and no challenge. I go to the market, the soul of the Hanoi fair and the old country market still has something to look back today, to see the figure of the curved lever, the bamboo rays scattered on the shoulders of my mother, her shoulder, of old Hanoi. season.

The village is located in Alley 184, Nguyen Xi Street, Binh Thanh District, Ho Chi Minh City, with dozens of households. They live crowded in makeshift motels several square meters wide. The house is cramped, hot weather makes the elderly and children tired. At noon, everyone couldn’t seem to sleep. They gathered to a housing area with shaded trees above to shelter from the sun. The houses here are roofed with metal roofs, they look old and quite tidy, the walls are also very old. Many apartments are dilapidated, about to deteriorate or are directly exposed to sunlight. Mrs. Tran Thi Diem (80 years old), working as a cicada picker – a resident of the village, has been tired for the past few days. “It is very hot at noon, especially around 13:00. My house only has a small fan but it is already damaged. Now I have to use a fan to dispel the heat,” said Diem. A house about 6 square meters wide but has quite a few people They said that they could not sleep because of the heat at noon, and had to lie down to rest, surf the entertainment phone. In the afternoon and evening, they were pouring out onto the street, practicing picking cicadas. This is not the main residence of the “cicadas residents”. Most of them rented again for about 1.5 million VND / unit. The inn has not been repaired for many years, so it is dilapidated, empty first, open back. Mrs. Thuan complains that the house she rented is now no longer a place to avoid sunlight and rain effectively. She repeatedly asked the landlord to fix it, but it was not agreed. Ms. Anh Mai, a resident of this homestay for nearly 20 years, wishes to find a better place to live in her old age. However, she said that it was just a wish, a dream. She herself has absolutely no money to move. A man in the neighborhood reinforced a plastic canvas on the roof. Many people here expect hot weather to pass soon. A woman covered her towel as she went outside to look for her loved one. “I am old, must know how to protect my health, avoid the heat to avoid colds,” she said. The fan works at full capacity in high outdoor temperatures. The houses are temporary, with no economic conditions, most of the residents in the neighborhood do not use air conditioners. Mrs. Chao and her husband talked at noon. Usually, she said, this is the time when her family rested after many hours of wandering on the road to pick up bottles. Ms. Chao complained that the electricity bill will be raised about 1.5 times more than last month. This puts people on even more of a burden. Despite the sun at 13 noon, Ms. Quyet (72 years old, who lives in the village) still goes to the street to pick up and buy scrap materials. She said that she is old, has no children, no accumulated assets, so she still has to make a living. Like Mrs. Quyet, some people in the village struggled to work in the hot sun. The poor village is close to temporary houses, and is home to dozens of households who practice picking cicadas in Binh Thanh District, Ho Chi Minh City.

U.S. halts use of Johnson / Johnson vaccine

The implementation of johnson&johnson’s (J&J)one-dose Covid-19 vaccine was halted on April 13 when regulators announced they were reviewing rare cases of blood clots after receiving it. The move could prompt thousands of people expected to get the J&J vaccine this week to find an alternative.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) both recommend halting the distribution of the J&J vaccine after recording 6 cases of cerebral vein sinus thrombosis (CVST).

Symptoms are noted in women between the ages of 18-48 and appear 6-13 days after the J&J. vaccine injection. “Among cases of coaalysis in the U.S., one person has died and one patient is in critical condition,” said Peter Marks, head of the FDA’s Center for Biological Research and Evaluation.

However, stopping the use of the J&J vaccine in the US when there are only a few cases of blood clots has raised questions about over-reactions.

Speaking at the White House on April 13, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said that the CDC and FDA have acted “with extreme caution” and stressed that the decision to recommend stopping the use of the J&J vaccine is only temporary.

“I don’t think they made the decision in a hurry,” Mr. Fauci said.

Despite this, the move left those planning to get the J&J vaccine confused and raised concerns that it could cause hesitation over covid-19 vaccination.

Earlier, 15 million J&J vaccines were damaged due to production errors at a factory. In Colorado, three mass vaccination points stopped using the J&J vaccine last week after 11 people reported symptoms of nausea and dizziness after receiving the vaccine.

For regulators, halting the use of the J&J vaccine has made it difficult to meet the urgent need for vaccines during the pandemic. When investigating the issue, U.S. officials must also try to maintain public confidence in the vaccination program. The suspension of J&J vaccination shows that regulators are taking potential issues seriously, but if they can’t find an answer yet, it could make people more concerned about vaccinations.

Link between J&J vaccine and cerebral vein sinus thrombosis

Cerebral vein sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a condition in which blood clots are formed in the veins and sinuses of the brain. This is a rare form of a stroke. In the general population, this symptom occurs in about 5 out of 1 million people. Symptoms of CVST include headache, blurred vision, convulsions, and loss of body control.

However, there are a number of factors that cause regulators to pay attention to cases of CVST after a single dose of J&J. Mr. Marks explained that, patients with blood clots also have tinglet reduction, the condition of tinglets in the blood decreases to very low levels, leading to bleeding and bruising. The combination of blood clots and low tinglets prevents patients from using common anti-coaculation treatments such as heparin, a blood thinner. That’s why health officials want to halt J&J.J. vaccinations until concerns can be investigated and give new guidance if necessary.

In addition, another factor is the cases of blood clots that occur in young women, who usually do not face a high risk of suffering from this disease.

The suspension of the J&J vaccine has been reminiscent of many European countries suspending all or part of the Covid-19 AstraZeneca vaccination program due to fears of blood clots. In March, the European Medicines Regulator (EMA) halted distribution of the AstraZeneca vaccine before allowing it to continue. Later, regulators concluded the AstraZeneca vaccine did not increase the risk of blood clots.

“This is a safe and effective vaccine. The benefits of vaccines in protecting people from the risk of dying and hospitalization from Covid-19 are far greater than the possible risks,” EMA Executive Director Emer Cooke said at a press conference in March.

Both the AstraZeneca vaccine and the Johnson /Johnson vaccine are based on modified adenovirus vectors. Adenovirus is a separate virus designed to provide DNA instructions to cellsto make the mutable protein of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19.

Nearly 7 million people in the U.S. who have been vaccinated with the J&J. Vaccine AstraZeneca are still under review and have not yet begun distribution in the U.S., even though the country’s government has purchased millions of doses of the vaccine.

The link between the J&J vaccine and symptoms of cerebral vein sinus thrombosis has not yet been clarified, but Vox has made several assumptions.

“Mutant proteins are produced using instructions from vaccines,” said Robert Brodsky, Director of hematological division at Johns Hopkins University. In some cases, mutating proteins can trigger the response of the immune system. That immune response can also damage the tinglets, causing symptoms such as blood clots.

In addition, if a spike in a protein can trigger this reaction, it is likely that the virus is intact that can also activate CVST in vulnerable people.

Rare complications that create major public health challenges

The Covid-19 vaccine has been tested on tens of thousands of people in clinical trials, and all three licensed vaccines in the U.S., Moderna, Pfizer/BioNTech, and Johnson & Johnson have all been proven safe, with levels of side effects being mild to medium.

But as the number of people taking part in vaccine trials increased from thousands to millions, rare complications began to appear.

That happened to Pfizer/BioNTech after the vaccine was distributed to the market. Some people after vaccination experience a severe allergic reaction to the Pfizer vaccine. Similar problems also appeared with the Moderna vaccine. In January, the CDC estimated that the rate of allergic reactions to the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine was 11.1 per 1 million vaccinations, while the rate of the Moderna vaccine was 2.5 per 1 million vaccinations.

Health officials have revised the vaccination process to screen people with a history of severe allergies. They also asked the person after vaccination to stay for 15 minutes for monitoring, as most allergic reactions occur during that time period.

Regulators can add screening criteria for people at higher risk for blood clots before getting the J&J vaccine.

It’s too early to say whether regulators will do the right thing when it comes to halting J&J vaccinations. Studying potential vaccine issues can boost people’s confidence in vaccinations, but can also cause confusion and fear of complications, making more people more vigilant.

What about those who have received the J&J vaccine?

Dr Fauci said that, for those who had received the J&J vaccine more than a month ago, they didn’t need to worry. However, those who have recently received the J&J vaccine and begin to have symptoms associated with cerebral sinus thrombosis should inform their doctor. “6-13 days after vaccination will be the time of symptoms,” Mr Fauci said.
