No. I'm afraid if I touch down they'll immediately quarantine me for 2 weeks. I can definitely return as a US citizen but then I can't go back.

I'm probably going to have to cancel everything and then scramble to get whatever visa I can for the country I want to wait out the boomer apocalypse in.

NBA had suspended their season; with many events being recently cancelled, I wonder how hotels/airline companies are reacting.

I'm sure that this is racist against someone....

But who?

That’s ummm that’s great and all... but have they not noticed that nobody seeks entry to El Salvador. El Salvador is one of those places that people leave. Not enter.

Seems pretty pointless with the UK-exemption considering how far spread it is there already and how far it's spread in the US. E: Feels more like a political move than a real move handling this situation.

It might be that their government would find a whole bunch of their subjects dying to be inconvienient, and because they're currently under a CIA-sponsored dictatorship they won't be attacked and subjected to economic warfare ('sanctions') for doing so? Novel idea I know.

 

[Unpleasant]

Seems like a disproportionate response unless you're an 89 year old nursing home resident trying to burn your last frequent flyer miles before kicking the bucket.

 

[Based Papa John]

I did get a certain degree of schadenfreude by his lowkey bashing of the EU, and adding on top of that the UK being exempted.

Holy shit, dude. It's like six degrees from Kevin Bacon with you.

I think the NBA will run a short playoffs in late May to have a championship this year.
