Will The EU Bar American Travellers As It Reopens Borders?



New York Times: EU May Bar American Travelers as It Reopens Borders, Citing Failures on Virus

BRUSSELS — European Union countries rushing to revive their economies and reopen their borders after months of coronavirus restrictions are prepared to block Americans from entering because the United States has failed to control the scourge, according to draft lists of acceptable travelers seen by The New York Times.

That prospect, which would lump American visitors in with Russians and Brazilians as unwelcome, is a stinging blow to American prestige in the world and a repudiation of President Donald Trump’s handling of the virus in the United States, which has more than 2.3 million cases and upward of 120,000 deaths, more than any other country.

The United States has put a heavy emphasis on testing. With more testing equals more positive results. Naturally we're going to show more cases. We should test less. Then it's an "apples to apples" comparison with other countries.

Tourism is a key sector of the French economy.

It accounts for nearly 8% of GDP, €56.2 billion in tourism receipts and generates two million jobs directly or indirectly.

Africa is not going to make up for lost American tourist dollars.

China could, but they are the one ones that lied and brought the 'rona virus in the 1st place.

Nothing says macron and others have to pull their heads out of their asses.

What B Poster said at 1:33 is correct.


See this:
Initial COVID-19 infection rate may be 80 times greater than originally reported

This means that corona virus is not as dangerous as we thought (unless you are in a nursing home in a Democrat run state). More like the common flu.

PS: Once 'BLM' tears down the statues in France, there will be no reason for me to visit just as n Democrat occupied fiefs that we call cities.
