I would not believe anything coming out of China.I don't understand why Europe and the US don't just do what China is doing? They have eliminated the virus and have 0 cases and 0 deaths. If we just followed their lead, we could be back to normal in a month or two.

Those are small countries. We are a large country with 50 states controlled by their own governors and legislature.I can understand feeling that way (although it looks better than the US), but there's also S. Korea, Taiwan, and I think Japan who are all doing a great job. I don't think they are hiding anything. I think we should look at Korea and Taiwan, personally, but I'm not in charge of things.
Your first statement doesn't really matter. But to add, these countries may be 'small', the density is much higher.Those are small countries. We are a large country with 50 states controlled by their own governors and legislature.

There is a lot of misinformation in this thread, probably based on the perception of posters own situations vs the reality.
Travel continues around much of Europe, with few restrictions. I can vouch for that. And there are Americans travelling in Europe, as several countries do allow them entry. I can vouch for that as well. (And there are many, many more Canadians than usual or they stand out more right now, as Canada is welcomed to much of Europe)
For any American looking to travel to Europe, there is a thread on Flyertalk.com Coronavirus and Travel forum which outlines the various countries and how people are gaining entry and able to travel. The RKI site also has a daily update of restrictions or risk areas for Germany.

The reality is that borders cannot stay closed forever. Germany has opened to Canada for a long time, but also did not lift the travel warning to Canada (they did lift it for much of rest of world) because Canada still requires 14 day quarantine, and will not allow entry to Germans under most conditions.
And while flights are of course very reduced. every single one that I have flown in the last six weeks has been fully booked. Lufthansa is managing loads well and adding more routes and destinations daily.
Don't count on your Transatlantic sailing with passengers at this point, as the CDC is not allowing cruise lines to sell cruises out of or to US ports that are longer than 7 days. ***ETA: Our October 28, 2021 Transatlantic on Odyssey of the Seas is not available to book - although it hasn't been cancelled...yet.We are booked on the transatlantic from Florida to Barcelona in early May. Disney just extended the date by which we need to pay and also allows more time to cancel and get a full refund, I’m hoping we go but I’m certainly not looking into air until march of 2021 when our payment is due. I would certainly get a test and a vaccine if that’s what is required.
If Disney anticipates the Europe cruises sailing in 2021 is it likely the Magic will stay in Dover (or around the area) until her scheduled Europe sailings?Don't count on your Transatlantic sailing with passengers at this point, as the CDC is not allowing cruise lines to sell cruises out of or to US ports that are longer than 7 days.
