No More Covid Test Required for Entry (USA)

[Duece]

USA has dropped the requirement for international flyers to the USA beginning Sunday.

• Travelers were required to show proof of a negative test a day before flying to the U.S.
• The travel industry had repeatedly urged the administration to drop the testing requirements.
• The change takes effect 12:01 a.m. Sunday.

But it looks like the requirement that non US citizens need to be vaccinated still stands. Need to end that also............

Great I'm going to fly a week after it's terminated.
Maybe it would be even better just to terminate the CDC

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's rule will be lifted Friday night, marking the end of a policy that has been in place since early 2021, a White House official confirmed to the Washington Examiner.

I always thought the Fridays were reserved for bad news from the government. Really bad news is reserved for the Friday of a long weekend.

The bad news was the runaway CPI numbers and that inflation is increasing - no relief in sight

Good riddance.

Good riddance.

Can't imagine why it took so long. It had the combination of being unpopular and not science based at this stage.

I have two entries next week
I’m happy

Not science? I bet the actual, real, expert, experienced, award-winning, scientists, as opposed to the rest of us who would just be guessing, assuming, and generally wrong/ignorant for the most part, in all the countries who recommended all the protocols throughout the pandemic would disagree

Guess it is science based at this stage of the pandemic if your main goal in life is to not catch covid.
