E.U. Set to Propose Travel Restrictions on U.S. Visitors

Source: New York Times

BRUSSELS — The European Union is set to advise member states that they should reintroduce travel restrictions for visitors from the United States, three E.U. officials said on Sunday, as coronavirus infections and hospitalizations have surged in the U.S. in recent weeks.

Starting Monday, the officials said, the United States will be removed from a “safe list” of countries whose residents can travel to the 27-nation bloc without additional restrictions, such as quarantine and testing requirements. The suggested restrictions, made by the European Council, will not be mandatory for member countries, and it will remain up to those countries to decide whether or not to impose them.

Most European countries reopened their borders to Americans in June, more than a year after imposing a travel ban, hoping that Americans would visit this summer and help an ailing tourism industry bounce back.

In essence, the European Union gave the United States a summertime pass to encourage tourism, despite the relatively high infection rates in parts of the country.

No one should be on a plane or cruise ship unvaxxed. Heck, we shouldn't even allow people across state borders unvaxxed if we really wanted to shut this virus down. I know the latter would be extremely difficult to enforce but letting folks go to Disneyworld or Sturgis or some concert and enjoy the superspreader event and then drive back home three states away and keep feeding Covid what it needs, more victims while overwhelming hospitals and burning out medical staff that is in short supply is crazy.

I hate to say it but it's time to kick these assholes to the curb. It's mainly because they've been brainwashed by Facebook propaganda and that's what got us here. Either they listen to experts and face reality, or they listen to idiots and continue to live in fantasy world.
