Why is the UK excluded?
There was a plane from the UK (I believe) two weeks ago, which seemed to bring the virus back here after the Vietnamese government, had completely eliminated it.
Maybe the UK did what President Trump did and banned flights coming in from China early on.. Open borders Europe did not.
Oh, that's just to piss off the EU.☺
Go Trump!
My take on it is that, given the way he threw the E.U. under the bus, it's to emphasize and reward them for Brexit, and send the message to them saying "Hey, you fools, this is what open borders does to you!"
Go look at the Uk stat’s....they have an extremely low infection number and the death number is presently at 6. No one can say if it’s genetics, rate of smoking, or just plain luck.
However, it would not take much for a German to fly over to the UK...spend a night, and then take an afternoon flight into NY City. I expect this to be the norm for the next four weeks, and UK flights are filled to the brim.
“Why is the UK excluded?”
Two reasons:
1. The UK is doing better with their containment measures.
2. Trump is giving the UK an economic gift while putting the screws to the EU.
