E.U. May Bar American Travelers as It Reopens Borders, Citing Failures on Virus (Published 2020)

European Union officials are racing to agree on who can visit the bloc as of July 1 based on how countries of origin are faring with new coronavirus cases. Americans, so far, are excluded, according to draft lists seen by The New York Times.

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.

Sorry if this is old.

 

[signal]

fingers crossed.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

I don't blame them.

 

[shnurgleton]

😞
they should

 

[Brat-Sampson]

Not shocked. We closed borders within the EU before, when the situation went fucky, and frankly it'd be dangerous to just let a second EU wave sweep in over the Atlantic.

 

[Ventilaator]

Makes sense.

 

[King Alamat]

Hopefully the rest of the world follows suit.

 

[Nobility]

Sounds about right.

 

[Necron]

Do it!

 

[Luckett_X]

My biggest fear over our bellend Boris is he's going to rollover and open the UK's shores to American tourism the second Trump glances his way, and shake hands with the second wave himself. So of course if the EU does this he won't. Fuccckkkkkkk.

 

[Xando]

How is this even a question to discuss

 

[Villein]

ban em

 

[Deleted member 13496]

Do it. Hopefully we (Canada) keep that border closed until next year.

 

[thekonamicode]

US Citizen here. This is absolutely the right move.

 

[Van Bur3n]

Ban me, daddy.

 

[robot]

I've been expecting this for a while. It should be done, and maybe it'll help drill into people's heads how serious this all still is.

 

[Ex Lion Tamer]

As expected. This still stings a lot but it is 100% the right move.

 

[DarthWalden]

Canadian here, hopefully we do the same .

 

[platocplx]

please do. we're idiots

 

[Jeremy]

They should, sad to say.

 

[cgcg]

Do it Europe, everyone should wall us out. The bestest walls finally.

 

[Walter White Walker]

I'd ban us.

 

[electroshockwave]

It's absolutely necessary.

 

[Stoof]

I'm American and you absolutely should ban us from travelling.

The Anglosphere that sticks together dies together. /sarcasm

US, Brasil, Russia. Go for it.

 

[Blader]

He should. We clearly can't be trusted to get this under control and it would be medical malpractice to allow potentially thousands of infected people (who, just by virtue of going on planes and through airports, can easily infect countless others before even landing in Europe) into countries that have suffered a lot to get to a point of containment.

Of course we won't follow the EU and ban travel from the US. We don't believe in common sense...

We are British!

[El_TigroX]

Absolutely. Every country in their right mind will ban U.S. travelers... hell, some of our states should ban other state travelers!

 

[plagiarize]

US resident with family in the EU and UK.

Unless the US makes some key changes, and soon, they absolutely should do this.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

Don't blame them and they absolutely should.

 

[TeenageFBI]

We deserve it.

 

[mhayes86]

I'd do it, too.

With states addressing the virus differently, I wouldn't be opposed to banning certain states from entering other states.

 

[Deleted member 17092]

I honestly think states need to be banning air travel from other states.

States that actually have a good handle on COVID should absolutely be banning travel to/from AZ/FL/TX/CA right now.

I'm not sure if a governor actually has the power to do that.

 

[BrucCLea13k87]

As an American, I say do it. This will get us ignorant fucks to take this shit more seriously.

 

[kami_sama]

I say do it.
The virus is completely out of control and we don't need to get imported cases.

This obviously *should* happen, but it's 100% unconstitutional.

 

[Deleted member 16516]

Should probably ban the UK too.

 

[0VERBYTE]

They should. Our president & Republicans have made us a irresponsible people in this climate.

 

[Scuffed]

I know early on the Who was telling everyone that viruses know no borders and that banning travel wasn't effective. That was being said here in Canada too when people were calling for travel bans but the truth is it does matter and it does work.

Trump has given up trying to contain this so any country trying to keep safe needs to ban travel from the U.S.

 

[ZW33]

It's the right call. A massive amount of Americans have proven to be as stupid and selfish as the rest of the world already thought they were.

Thank you to all the selfish anti-science morons who refuse to wear a mask or social distance.

 

[Starwing]

Should be so for the rest of the world as well. We gotta fix our lack of response here.

How is this even a question to discuss

I'm guessing that some of them want that tourism cash.

 

[Huncho_Houdini]

Not surprising. This fucking sucks. The average cases in the USA are back up to around 30 thousand per day. They never fucking dipped below 20,000.

 

[Emergency & I]

Wife and I just planned our Honeymoon to Italy/France/Germany in September.


:(

 

[MetatronM]

To be honest I'm shocked there isn't already a ban in place. I just assumed there was.

 

[Deleted member 36708]

I would.

 

[Deleted member 6582]

Trump will absolutely first strike upon this news.

 

[Hound]

Oh course now that I finally have means to travel... Can't blame them though.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

 

[TheRuralJuror]

We're fucking morons who let a minor face mask that could protect a lot of us become a partisan issue. Ban all of us, these dumb shits included. We can't be trusted to manage this correctly.
