America Love It Or Leave It - Oh, Wait! No Place to Go

I tweeted about how Europe is handling the pandemic better than America and a bunch of people in my mentions are telling me to go live in Europe and I’m like...I can’t because Americans aren’t allowed in because of how badly we’re handling the pandemic

Trump has made Americans global pariahs.  There is a short list of countries that will allow entry to travelers from the United States.  Lots of  small island countries and a few peripheral European nations.  Many require proof of a negative Covid-19 test as a condition of entry.  Since the window allowed for that test prior to entry is often 48 hours and tests in the US are backed up in labs for days and even weeks, the 48 hour  requirement is going to be hard for many travelers to meet.  As the number of US states in crisis increases, countries that had indicated that they would accept US travelers is decreasing, so you may plan a trip for late August today and find out a week before departure that you are no longer welcome.
