Europe's travel windows are slamming shut

This comes as Belgium adds Malta to its higher risk list, along with Denmark, Finland, Lithuania, Bulgaria and the UK. Norway has added a number of destinations including Greece, Ireland, and Austria.
France was last week added to the UK's unsafe list, prompting yowls of protest both from the legions of British vacationers who see sojourning in their neighbor as an annual rite of summer, but also from French authorities who threatened reciprocal quarantine measure on arrivals from the UK.

What a mess. Probably a good summer to stay home and stay safe. There's always next year to vacation. We're all in this together.

There's no way to explain how much I miss Europe. We had to cancel a trip to Paris in April and it is not easy thinking about not going back anytime soon.

Americans are now persona non grata in so many countries. Who can blame them. We have done such a horrible job at containing or mitigating the virus why would anyone want Americans in their country now. It would be like inviting Typhoid Mary for the weekend.

We generally don't go in the summer because of the crowds. However, we were in Munich and Salzburg in December for the Christmas markets (Christmas markets were my wife's choice, not mine) and it was sooooooooo damned crowded. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it.

We can get very cheap flights to many places in Europe now. The problem is either Americans are generally not permitted or there are 2 week isolations required upon arrival.

There's Iceland, but we'd prefer to go back in the winter.

So, after European countries blocked Americans from entering - and liberals here blamed Trump for that -, we now find that the European countries are blocking each other, too ... :lol:

I'm still smarting over Trump pulling Cuba tourist visas! That's been a life-long dream. And I refuse to even consider doing any dubious workarounds. I don't screw around with international border crossings. Not at all.

Without travel I may last five minutes at the most before dying.

Why should i stop travelling in fear of a Virus with a 0.03% death rate? This Virus is not more dangerous than the flu.

Yeah. And now Europeans are turning on each other as well. Belguim is blocking their neighbors. The UK has excluded people from Spain and France. It seems that no one trusts anyone anymore. It's a sad change.

That does seem to be the case. It's an isolationism I've not seen in my lifetime. Like something out of the 30s.

It is a sad change. Until most people get serious about COVID it is not going away.

Another ignorant post. Who told you that; Trump? Here, learn something:

Is the new coronavirus more deadly than common flu?

In which case you are sadly misinformed. You are an adult and as vulnerable to infection as everyone else. You could be carrying the virus right now and not even know it. Better get tested before you go; Sardinia doesn't need another lockdown.

I call that life risk. Beside that, Sardinia has more cases than my state Thüringen in Germany.
