"The nanny state" = nhà nước vú em -> nghĩa là chính sách của chính phủ can thiệp, theo dõi quá mức vào đời tư của mọi người, được cho là không an toàn.

Ví dụ
Opinion: The nanny state is well and truly in charge now. Hard cases, they say, make bad law. Another week has passed and sport followers across the land remain locked out from seeing their teams play. Players can go to battle in full-contact matches on football, soccer and rugby fields as much as they like; that is safe, we are told.

The nanny state — a cliché (câu rập khuôn) much used by Boris Johnson in his days as a journalist — is in danger of killing us with kindness. The yawning absence of human contact has, for many, robbed life of its meaning.  

Philip Davies was fed up (chán nản) with the nanny state and thought people should be allowed to choose to get coronavirus or not, and the ever more self-parodic Desmond Swayne reckoned pubs (quán rượu) should be allowed to determine their own opening hours. 

From the moment COVID-19 arrived on U.S. soil (đất), conservative Christian men across the country rose up to sound the alarm to their fellow Americans. In their view, the real threat wasn’t the virus, but the nanny state’s response to it. The government, they argued, would use the virus as an excuse to get what they’ve always wanted — control.
