Quartz - Why is the US still restricting travel from Europe?

Interesting editorial over at Quartz looking at the logic behind the ban. " The measure had been in place since the beginning of the pandemic, and has yet to be revised, even as rates of transmission dropped in the EU and large parts of the population received at least the first dose of vaccine. So as things stand now, the rationale behind maintaining the restrictions is rather unclear." https://qz.com/2021677/can-i-travel-to-the-us-from-europe/amp/?__twitter_impression=true
