Why Europe is Banning American Tourists: The EU Thinks the US Can’t Handle COVID – TLDR News

Published

3 years ago

on



In the next few days, the EU is set to re-open its borders to foreign countries; but this isn’t a universal offer, countries need to fulfill certain terms to qualify. One country that doesn’t is the United States of America due to their handling of COVID so far, which means that Europe won’t be allowing Americans in on the 4th. In this video, we explain why they made this decision and what it means.

    Yes the EU is completely right. The only reason they won't go ahead with it will be because of politics which is wrong. The U.S don't give a shit and aren't doing anything about it so they should be shunned

  22. @TheFalconerNZ

    March 3, 2024 at 2:16 am

    If the U.S. does not want to have a travel ban to Europe it should agree to and pay for a 2 week managed quarantine on ALL people leaving the U.S. in the country they are entering. New Zealand just had an diplomate return from the U.S. and diplomatic immunity laws prevented the compulsorily testing and managed isolation for all inward coming persons and now relies on himself isolating at is residence. If he is positive and if he does not prevent the spread of Covid-19 New Zealand will have another new outbreak source. Well done Europe on trying to prevent the re-introduction of Covid to your states but REALLY enforce restriction of movement, testing and isolation of tourists.

  23. @somegermanonline4254

    "The EU thinks that the US can't handle Covid-19" Thats because they cant.

    In the future, when Americans are finally allowed to travel to other countries again…

    Doug DeMuro should check out the Italdesign showroom in Moncalieri, Italy.

    God, this is so embarrassing. I’m so very sorry for my “great” country. I hope that you can try to separate the entitled, ignorant Americans from the stressed, teenage Americans who are doing the best they can to educate themselves. I am not proud to be an American.

  30. @AA-gl1dr

    March 3, 2024 at 2:16 am

    As an American, thank you. I hate it but I cannot blame you. Someone on earth has to be responsible and the US is a dead empire.
