Iā€™ve heard many similar stories but itā€™ll come back gradually. Iā€™ve my first US bidniz trip for almost 18 months in November

Horseshit. People needs breaks from their spouse/spousal equivalents and their children. A business trip is perfect cover for this. It will be back.

There are the odd group of Yanks making their way over here now for business trips. Mad for road.

The slip ons, the blazer and the yellow slacks will have to stay in the wardrobe for a little bit longer.

Nobody knows. If Biden was named DJT, there would be a lot more anger over it.

If it was Trump, the left would go mad, though more media outlets are questioning it tbf. I see the NY Times though published basically a press release for the Administration blaming Delta and progressive Twitter are still largely ignoring it.

I know a few people trapped by this ban currently, it really isnā€™t right.

@Batigol Iā€™ve a question.

My friend and I are travelling flying to Greece from Dublin. My friend is anti-vaxx and has no cert.

The DFA website says that to enter Greece from Ireland he can get either an antigen test or a pcr test.

However, are there any additional requirements on the Irish side? Do you need a pcr test to order a plane in Dublin Airport or will an antigen test suffice?

No exit checks. No test required for the airport

@Batigol - flight at 4pm. What time would I need to be getting to the airport? Pre-pandemic Iā€™d arrive around 3pm.

Where are the queues Iā€™m hearing about? Will fast track get me past them?

Go for a wander down the Altstadt and the promenade along the Rhine. Was well impressed in what I originally thought was a typical industrial city.
