    1. @Darin Hill I get dizzy in the bloody heat. (Masks are easier when it’s very cold.) 98°F, dry-ish and fresh outside, 198°F and jungle steamy and stagnant in the mask.

    2. @Darin Hill If your glasses are clouding up that means that warm exhaled breath is exiting at the top of the nose. If you wear a mask with a nose wire and make sure that you fit it around the nose in order to produce a good seal. If the seal is good the problem goes away.

    1. @Jennie Kreiner atleast we arent #1 in death rates. I trie to look at the positives in situations like these

    2. @Jennie Kreiner I’m ashamed to admit that America leads in ignorance. You, and those like you, listen to people on TV and repeat. Different nations have different standards/ regulations in medicine. The “protests” didn’t help our situation, either.

  1. Odd that they concentrate here on the countries’ wealth and the “efficiency” of their health care systems. Non-American news sites make it clear that the EU has categorised countries according to their rates of covid-19 infection and decided to exclude travellers from those with high rates. Hence nobody from the US or Brazil.

    1. The whole world really looks down on US health care system. Most expensive with the worst health outcomes of all the OECD countries.

    2. @Joseph Ybarra You should compare the reliability of China’s word about Covid-19 against the USA’s. I don’t think the scales are leaning towards the USA.

    3. I believe it was the United States that first blocked China from coming here and many other countries first

  2. Honestly, I’m ok with it. It isn’t an economical or political dispute. It’s to keep people safe. End of story. This should be happening.

    1. @Victoria Murray It is best you stay at home for now and clean up your act. No one wants that kiss of death.

    1. Melanin Magdalene there are also 2 kind of protests. The ones with legitimate causes and those people wear masks VS brainless morons that think they’re being discriminated against because they have to follow rules.

    2. Yeah, I wouldn’t let us in either, not with the number of Karens that would go over there and surely put everyone at risk.

    1. Mr. Game & Watch Next time you eat guacamole, or munch on some grapes, or drink orange juice, thank the hordes of migrants who harvest those fruits…because it’s beneath your dignity as an American to take that job. Now go away and let the grown-ups talk.

    2. @David Thaler it makes me ill the way we treat people the only thing embarrassing about migrant workers is what they are paid they are for the most part hard working people with strong family values. The kind of people I want in my country

    3. @David Thaler Implying that those are the only jobs migrants have. Haha, oh the irony. I’ll go away and let you get back to your white guilt session

    4. @David Thaler ooooo, BURN! Tell them the god’s honest truth. Someone has to since they’re literally falling apart as we watch.

  3. There used to be a time when the US was loved or hated, admired, and envied. Now it is being pitied.

    1. Alfred Lutz Nope no pity for the USA,that’s what they get for voting in an idiot for president

  4. “It’s just a flu, nothing serious”
    “Oh it’s getting serious in EU, close up borders”
    “It’s here, but only in NY, no need to panic”
    “It’s everywhere, lock down everything”
    “Oof it’s getting warm this summer, I don’t believe this virus is that bad, also we don’t know how to cook”
    “The virus isn’t dieing down? Wait, we’re not allowed in the EU now?”

    1. If you live in America stay there. Don’t come to Europe if you think that way. You don’t read or see or hear what going on everywhere. That is why in Europe we don’t want to let people in who don’t believe in what in the eyes of everyone.

    2. Watching the EU and the US from the UK. For useful, accurate, up to date information on COVID 19 follow Dr John Campbell on youtube. Remembering that each country has different Covid rules. Take care all.

    1. @P Hollywood you might want to just stay off the internet for a while, buddy. This is not a great time to be a Trump supporter.

  5. Lol, US is one of the “richest” country in the world, but one of the worst for its own citizens.

    1. The amount of greed and corruption in the US is utterly breathtaking…..such an imbalance for it’s citizens!

    2. @Jei Kei Greatest economy? More than 10% – 35 million people – live *below* the poverty line in America. More than schoolgoing one-eighth of children in Washington DC come from a homeless family. Why do you Americans keep saying you have an incredible economy when literally tens of Millions of your fellow citizens are struggling very badly just to survive? Do they not matter, or do you just not care?

    3. Haha MissMiss America isn’t rich, we’re BEYOND BROKE! China owns our grandchildren’s futures!

  6. The land ofvthe free and the home of the brave.Looks more like the land of the DEAD and the home of the DUMB….
