EU shuts down US travel; a proposal to get things back on track


Where the Delta variant stands today, and why US tourists are being restricted

The graphic above shows why; that top chart shows US cases continuing to climb while other countries have seen their rates flatten out or decline. And with the US continuing to deny reciprocity (the US doesn't allow EU residents to travel here for anything but essential reasons), it feels like the EU has had enough.

I think... my opinion only... I think that if the US proposed bilateral rules that would allow EU citizens to travel to the US and vice versa, under the following conditions-

- Fully vaccinated
- PCR (not rapid antigen) test 72 hours prior to departure

If we proposed that, I think the EU would open back up for US travelers. I believe this is something that should be supported and advocated for. But how?

For those who refuse vaccinations for whatever reason, my proposal on the surface looks hostile. But it's actually, I believe, the fastest way to return the world back to semi-normal and allow non-vaccinated travel again. We've got to get a handle on this.
