As America has banned flights from Europe should Europe reciprocate and ban flights from the US?

That seems kinda redundant
Lol ... yep, heard the half priced fares to the epicenter of the virus, with the bonus 14 day enforced quarantine on the return trip are selling out like hot cakes ...

Do they really have too? If they have banned flights from Europe then who is going to go over there not knowing if they can come back?

I don't think many people from the US want to go to Europe right now, lol

it would be pretty hypocritical to do that now, given that the EU and others have already protested against the ban. Besides when have tit-for-tat actions ever done anything useful apart from making the governments concerned look childish?

The ban is on flights from Continental Europe, not Britain and Eire. Perhaps Mr. Trump has not been told about Eurostar, nor about connecting flights between Europe, many UK airports and Dublin....

(Eeeh, good thing I looked back at what I'd typed. I'd spelt "frights" with an "r" instead of "l". Though perhaps an apt malapropism in the circumstances.)
@ArishMell Am rather sure Britain intends to leverage Brexit ... to shut the tunnel and limit flights to continental Europe ... maybe the "Delay Measures" the PM did not explain further?

@questionWeaver Not unless and until really necessary, and it has nothing to do with leaving the EU.

That’s a given , anyone going there won’t be allowed back in without being quarantined and tested for a few weeks

You think the return quarantine isn't enough? 🤣
Yes! Never hesitate to reciprocate! That's our motto!

Naturally. It will happen if it hasn't already.
Yes, and as soon as possible.

I believe we are all going to be closing each other off for the foreseeable future. Canada closed it’s borders with US, so now we are closing our borders to them. Medical necessity is a different story, but nothing else is allowed through either way.

Seems the EU is indeed now (Monday 16th) going to do that - though not just from the USA!
