The whole backwards part about this is that the Schengen travel restrictions are still in place. So somebody who has visited a Schengen country even with under 10 covid cases a week (like most Nordics) can't travel directly to the US. They have to fly to a country like Mexico or Canada (which are both still battling covid) and then enter the border after 14 days. Oh BUT if you're a US citizen or with a resident visa, you can enter from wherever. Oh AND if you're a student with in person classes, you can enter. But me with a house and a job and a visa, can't enter. How the fuck can this happen?
