American Passports Are Worthless Now (Map) Oh the places you can't go

America will be lucky to exit this pandemic with less than a million dead and 100 million infected. The living will be lucky to exit their country within the next five years.

Welcome to the club. Post-colonial bullshit and racism have made my Sri Lankan passport worthless for years. Now the American passport is worse. America has crashed straight through the third world into the fourth.

Here is a list, in total, of all the places Americans can go. Most of them are small Caribbean islands.

you can go and get tested there. Quarantine for a day, if negative you can continue on your vacation. If positive, you're quarantined for two weeks minimum.

Have a nice vacation.

I'm not blaming them, they are protecting themselves.

Now, if Branson or Vegas restricted travel from hotspot states, they'd be up in arms.

At the same time, you can’t trust Americans. Americans have poor hygiene (low masking rate) and at least 40% of the population can’t be trusted to even believe that COVID-19 exists, let alone to take it seriously. They’re likely to refuse testing, not report symptoms, break quarantine, and generally follow rules. Americans have a toxic combination of ignorance and arrogance that makes them unwelcome travelers.

They have a lot of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with them. Some of them, I assume, are good people, but it doesn’t matter. It’s a plague passport. Return to sender.

...
In the end, Trump did what he said. He built a wall around America and made the world pay for it. He just never told Americans that they’d be stuck inside. Welcome to the Plague States of America. You can check out, but you can never leave.

from any state other than VT, NH and recently NY, CT or NJ requires a 14 day quarantine or documented, recent negative test. Vermont is doing this by infection rates in counties of residence. How well this is being enforced, I don't know. I do know there's a lot fewer out of state cars this summer compared to prior years. Tough on the tourist industry here, but we're a small state with limited healthcare resources so we really have no choice. Maine is in the same boat.
