I don’t believe it will be the case that we’ll be social distancing long term. Even short term I’d prefer if TV & film behaved as though Covid didn’t exist. I want escapism.

It doesn’t matter if we’ve all been vaccinated. That doesn’t prevent us from carrying it into the US. It matters if they’ve been vaccinated.

No because it doesn’t mean you can’t transmit it. I would think it’s more relevant that people within their own country are vaccinated against anyone who may bring it in.

Yes but that’s not about the “red tape” the OP refers to. You’ll always get people like that when they’re asked to do something new. My point is that the so called “red tape” is safety training.
