Unless their destination is Vermont or some other east coast locale, who would want to come here? Jumping into the fire doesn't seem like a great idea.

is pretty much everywhere. I don't get all these travel restrictions. I'm a US citizen, we have COVID. I want to go to the UK, they have COVID. I'm not taking anything they don't have, I'm not going to encounter anything I wouldn't at home. And vice versa.

in some states is as prevalent in most other developed countries. When hospitals cannot care for life and death emergencies that are not covid related, who would want to willingly visit there?
