When do you think US-EU travel will be allowed again?

For tourism. If we have to wait for COVID deaths to go to 0, we'll be waiting forever. I'm starting to think we'll have to wait until 2021.
We talk languages

You could consider German speaking communities in the Americas as possible holiday destinations.slowmoon wrote:For tourism. If we have to wait for COVID deaths to go to 0, we'll be waiting forever. I'm starting to think we'll have to wait until 2021.

But to answer your question, not for quite a while I expect, although the criteria is not currently and is unlikely ever to be a zero death rate. Those smug bastards north of you, for example, continue to experience COVID-related deaths but tourism travel to Europe has I believe been green-lighted from here.

If we have to make this thread relevant to language learning, than this is where it becomes relevant. When choosing languages, I never considered the idea that the continents of Europe and Asia would become unavailable for long stretches of time. Though I should've looked at history and realized that this happened multiple times in the previous century in various regions for various reasons. If I decide to learn a new language in the future, it's almost certainly going to be a language used in my hemisphere. Bill Gates is already talking about Pandemic 2.0. Borders will close again. New viruses will appear. The prospect of this happening again multiple times in my lifetime makes me realize the value of local languages.
