The COVID-19 pandemic

We sort of need commerce between these two countries. A ban on Americans entering and we're shit out of luck at getting so much of our food that truck drivers bring it.

I am well aware of the level of trade with our largest trading partner, but that doesn't mean that we cannot prohibit all other travel...that's in fact exactly what we have done with every other country.

Under normal circumstances, it would likely make sense to make an exception for the US, as a country similar in many ways, likely with similar levels of response to the situation. Under the current administration, however, we should be acting as if they are a tinpot dictatorship that can’t do anything right. As I’ve said before and as continues to be proven over and over again, there are only 2 kinds of Trump supporters: unindicted co-conspirators, and useful idiots.
