It's not all the US that is seeing surges in Covid. A lot of areas are doing very well and some areas are exploding, and granted, even in the areas that are doing very well, such as New York currently, the daily increase in cases even at this very low level is more than the Bahamas have seen throughout this entire pandemic. We're 4 days away from traveling to the Family Islands, negative test results, travel cards, and masks in hand and I'm still not convinced we're actually going to be allowed in. Things are changing every hour it seems. It's all a balancing act. In the US it's been areas opened too soon with too much freedom (not requiring masks for example) that has led to the explosion in cases. Texas and Florida went way too fast and that was all motivated by $. If there were rapid tests available to get through customs we'd certainly take one.
