I’m unfollowing this entitled brat but I had to come on and rant before I do. Just watched part of her vlogmas video. Erica is choosing to go home for xmas knowing the rules and risks, but she thinks the travel ban that prevents her re-entering the US is “ridiculous”. She totally understands that “tourists” shouldn’t be allowed to enter and that “holidays” shouldn’t be allowed but she thinks she should be allowed to enter because of her visa.
Her trip home is a holiday! Holidays going out of the US aren’t any safer than holidays into the US! Nobody is supposed to be leaving the place they live right now, and she really shouldn’t be entering Ireland at the moment either (but is allowed to because she’s a citizen). So holidays to the US shouldn’t be allowed, but her holiday to Ireland is fine?!
I’m extra mad because I’m Irish living in Massachusetts and I was planning to go home for Christmas, including 2 weeks quarantine and all of the other precautions. I have a green card so I can get back into the US. But I cancelled it because cases are much higher now than they were when I booked it back in the summer, and I didn’t think it was right for me to travel at the moment. Even though I haven’t seen my family in over a year and a half now, and one brother for 3 years. And I can’t even complain much, I’m better off than a lot with all the people that have lost loved ones or been unemployed this year.
But Erica who will get to spend xmas with her family, thinks it’s “ridiculous” that she should be treated like everybody else. (And anyway, she has the time and money to spend 2 weeks in Mexico or somewhere, and then return to the US so it’s not like she’ll be stuck and can’t get back in)
