Is this COVID-driven? How sad. Pretty weird seeing “MIT ID (Covid Pass)” in almost-2023.
Does MIT know that the rest of the world is over it? That most countries have no entry measures now? When do the smart kids just start saying “no” and attend a university not run by cowards and ninnies? What a bunch of dorks (and not in the endearing sense).
That's more like one man still making decisions around COVID, and everyone else has to obey. Pretty sure most Chinese people would rather be getting on with their lives like everyone else.
I also know individuals that are immunocompromised in the US that still factor covid into decision making. What exactly does “the rest of the world” mean? World population minus 17% minus the rest of the people deemed unworthy of counting? What a neat and meaningful metric.
It's likely due to many reasons, COVID being the last straw. All schools in the US have been getting more and more locked down with every school shooting.
International Air Transport Association travel restriction map seems to imply many countries, aside from Europe, do still have travel restrictions for foreign visitors.[1]
Just spot checking a few: India still appears to require a negative PCR test.[2][3]
The USA generally requires proof of vaccination.[4]
Russia requires a negative PCR test and quarantine if you get sick while there.[5]
