Interesting development that is supposed to take effect Sunday June 12th.

 

US will end Covid-19 testing requirement for air travelers entering the country

 

The Biden administration is expected to announce Friday that the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will lift its requirement for travelers to test negative for Covid-19 before entering the US, according to a senior administration official.

 

The move, which CNN was first to report, will go into effect for US-bound air travelers at midnight on Sunday.

 

The CDC is lifting the restriction that the travel industry had lobbied against for months after determining it was no longer necessary “based on the science and data,” the official said. The CDC will reassess its decision in 90 days and if officials decide they need to reinstate it, because of a concerning new variant, for example, will do so. The measure has been in place since January 2021.

 

The official said the Biden administration plans to work with airlines to ensure a smooth transition with the change, but it will likely be a welcome move for most in the industry.

That would be the next step, the question is when… 🤔

This is insane timing, coming back with my fiancée Sunday afternoon. Would be a pain in the rear trying to do the test in the two hours we have in Warsaw airport. Tried to do it today and told nothing works Saturday/Sunday here, lol  

 

But yes, about time. I would argue the testing requirement did more than the vaccine but it should NOT have been required for citizens. What were we to do, be stranded for 14 days in a foreign country and have to pay some exorbitant hotel quarantine fee? Imagine being asymptomatic or having a false positive. Frightening stuff.

 

edit: remind me to report back whether the airport staff knows about the requirement lifting or not, we’re inundated with emails from Air France reminding us to sign the testing attestation and present the result lol

Good news. Another step towards normalcy. Hopefully, it continues to stay this way.

These visitors are not required to get the vaccine. However, our wives and husbands are.

 

Shall I ask you all a question? Is this scientific???????

 

These "vaccine mandates" have bankrupted countries and taken away their sovereignty. I guess this is "the great reset" by WHO and WEF.

Huh? Visitors are absolutely required to be vaccinated.

So how about people returning to work without the vaccine? Is that scientific enough? One group is required to get the "clot shot" (planned population control by klaus schwab and the "great reset") and the other people are not.

 

My question to you all is, is it scientific enough? Some areas masks area required, some areas not. Some countries, one brand of vaccine is required, other countries that brand is ok. Some groups don't need the vaccine, other groups need the vaccine.

 

Dr. Fauci, the evil, has never had private practice. Can you guys please look up what Kary Mulis, inventor of the COVID PCR Test technique, had to say about Dr. Fraudici and the PCR technqiue?? This is a nobel prize winner scientist that has more experience than Fraudici.

No idea how this is related to COVID tests not being required anymore. Start a new thread  in the Hot topics section but please don’t hijack other peoples threads that are unrelated to what you’re discussing here.
