To All Americans

I apologize for my crazy thread about Americans spreading cooties. It will never happen again.

I was really responding to what I perceived as Trump’s xenophobia and I should never have dragged any of you into it.

The rest of us continental Americans are afraid. We don’t want any of this spreading and it is terrifying that you haven’t been able to get a handle on this.

Anyway, those are my reasons for the freak-out, it doesn’t excuse it, but it does explain my crazy behaviour.

Again, I am sorry for making this even the littlest bit worse for everyone.

Take care of yourselves and we will get through this together.

With love and hope for our future,

No one wants American cooties!

Since Donald Trump has seen fit to ban Europe for doing a poor job of managing this virus then perhaps Europe should start banning all Americans, because your record with it hasn’t exactly been stellar.

One thing is for sure, the rest of the Americas can’t take the chance of having any American come into their country so perhaps it would be a great idea to ban all Americans from entering any of our countries. That’s fine, the Trumpists wanted isolation from rest of the world, well, now you can have it!
