just announced that America will

suspend all travel from Europe to the US for the next 30 days.

There will be exemptions for Americans who have undergone screenings.

So that person upthread in Paris is stuck there? oh my god lol

They have until Friday, or can be screened to come home.

Good luck changing your international flight and getting a new ticket in 48 hours. I just checked - they can go from Charles De Gaulle to NYC for only $400 (and a full day layover in a country with a massive outbreak).

Or they can go direct for $2,000.

Amsterdam and Vienna. Vienna has more than 250 confirmed cases. Amsterdam has more than 500 confirmed cases.

For reference the Netherlands is the size of Maryland and Austria is the size of Virginia (bit smaller).

My bonehead boss took a trip (with elderly folks, donors) to southern Europe last week, despite mounting evidence it was a bad idea. Why? Because he didn't want to miss his vacation that he tacked in to the end of it. Also, from afar, he refused wfh requests.really hope he gets stuck there

March 11, 2020 —
Today President Donald J. Trump signed a Presidential Proclamation, which suspends the entry of most foreign nationals who have been in certain European countries at any point during the 14 days prior to their scheduled arrival to the United States. These countries, known as the Schengen Area, include: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland. This does not apply to legal permanent residents, (generally) immediate family members of U.S. citizens, and other individuals who are identified in the proclamation.

Oh I’m sad now- I thought it was all flights from Europe after Friday.

This doesnt really constitute as travel but I dont know where else to post. Supposed to drive from DC to Philly next weekend for a wedding, which involves sleeping in a hotel and my inlaws coming to stay at our house to babysit the kids for the night. Do I still plan to go??

It’s some international competition.
Yay or nay?

Sounds like the Irish Dance World Championships - my daughter did Irish dance for years. I wouldn’t be surprised if the competition ends up being cancelled. There’s going to be thousands in attendance. Many years ago, they cancelled Worlds when Mad cow disease was going around the UK.

Correct.
Her argument for going is that daughter will only dance 1 day.
I now wonder if there would be an issue getting back (to DC).

We have a family wedding to go to in Philly suburb in late April. We already RSVP’ed but things are not looking good. All four of us were planning to attend but if this continues, we will probably not go.

Yes same here. One can hope that although the ban doesn’t apply to them, it makes citizens realize they shouldn’t travel to Europe.
