The USA is at the top of the list in new cases with 49,629 and only out flanked by Brazil with 51,603 and India with 56,282.
No one is going to let Americans into their country,

This is such a flyin' joke. LOL.
What countries are going to allow Americans to travel to them? The USA has been banned in most Western countries if not all. I don't even know if China will let an American into the country.
The USA has been NUMBER 1 in viral cases and deaths. The virus is far from under control and NO ONE WANTS AMERICANS TO TRAVEL TO THEIR COUNTRY!

After more than four months, (click here) the US State Department on Thursday lifted its advisory warning US citizens against traveling abroad.
The department issued the Level 4: Do Not Travel advisory -- the highest level of travel advisory -- on March 19, urging US citizens not to travel overseas due to the coronavirus pandemic.
However, "(w)ith health and safety conditions improving in some countries and potentially deteriorating in others, the Department is returning to our previous system of country-specific levels of travel advice (with Levels from 1-4 depending on country-specific conditions), in order to give travelers detailed and actionable information to make informed travel decisions," a Thursday note from the State Department said.
"This will also provide U.S. citizens more detailed information about the current status in each country," the note said. "We continue to recommend U.S. citizens exercise caution when traveling abroad due to the unpredictable nature of the pandemic."...

...Once it arrived, (click here) the ship never left Beirut's port, according Lebanon's Director of Customs, Badri Daher, despite repeated warnings by him and others that the cargo was the equivalent of "a floating bomb."
"Due to the extreme danger posed by this stored items in unsuitable climate conditions, we reiterate our request to the Port Authorities to re-export the goods immediately to maintain the safety of the port and those working in it," Daher's predecessor, Chafic Merhi, wrote in a 2016 letter addressed to a judge involved in the case....

...The cargo ship that brought 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate (click here) to Beirut — which exploded Tuesday with devastating consequences — was abandoned in 2014 by a Russian businessman based in Cyprus, according to multiple reports.
Igor Grechushkin was named as the owner of the MV Rhosus by the ship's former captain Boris Prokoshev, in an interview with the Russian edition of Radio Free Europe.
According to Prokoshev, the Grechushkin now lives in Cyprus — a common destination for wealthy Russians.
Business Insider has been unable to reach Grechushkin for comment, and a LinkedIn profile with his name is inactive. CNN reported that its attempts to call him received no answer....
STOP HIM FROM LEAVING CYPRUS. ONCE HE REACHES RUSSIA HE IS PROTECTED FROM EXTRADITION.
It is stated Igor Grechushkin is in Cyrus. There needs to be immediate apprehension of the Russian oligarch to be questioned in regard to the dead, missing, injured and displaced caused by his boat.
Who was the explosive intended for?
The shipment was under investigation and considered suspicious when the ship was detained.
Igor Grechushkin (click here) is reported to be still residing in Limassol, Cyprus with his wife.
The Russian father of one, currently reported to be living in Limassol, Cyprus, was accused by the crew of his ship in abandoning both the people and the cargo.
The ship called Rhosus was going under the flag of Moldova from Batumi in Georgia to Mozambique. It was detained in October 2013 by Lebanese authorities after it stopped in Beirut due to a malfunction on board.
The cargo was checked and detained after the port authorities said it was ‘lacking documents and conditions necessary for transportation.
The crew - eight Ukrainian and two Russian men - was forced to stay on board of the vessel while the owner Grechushkin declared himself bankrupt and ‘abandoned the ship’
Lebanese authorities agreed to let six out of ten sailors to leave the country, others were left stranded on the ship for almost a year....
135 dead in Beirut and many missing.
Amazing. France sends more than supplies and food, they send hope. Magnificent. President Macron is absolutely correct. This is not about terrorism, it is about a country floundering in the 21st century to move into a global city with an economy to match.

Beirut - French President Emmanuel Macron (click here) on Thursday announced plans for a "new political pact" and sweeping economic reforms in Lebanon as he toured devastated areas of Beirut following a massive explosion that killed scores of people earlier this week.
Macron, who said the disaster should “mark a new era” in the tiny Mediterranean nation, is the first world leader to visit the Lebanese capital in the aftermath of the blast, which engulfed its commercial center Tuesday, eviscerated its port and killed at least 135 people. More than 5,000 residents were wounded and tens more remained missing, officials said. As many as 300,000 people have been displaced.
The immediate cause of the explosion, which sent a towering plume of red smoke into the sky, appeared to be an estimated 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate, a fertilizer that can also be used to make bombs. It was stored in a warehouse at the port for years despite repeated warnings about the risk it posed — a revelation that has angered Beirut residents and prompted calls for resignations and wider accountability....
Trump is not appalled at the charges against the NRA. His advice is more corruption, "Move to Texas."
What does Trump know? He didn't state for any reason that there was no wrongdoing by the NRA, he simply added to the corruption by directing the NRA to move to Texas. That is astounding. Trump is a crime boss. Never saw it more clear.

The attorney general of New York (click here) took action Thursday to dissolve the National Rifle Association following an 18-month investigation that found evidence the powerful gun rights group is "fraught with fraud and abuse."
Attorney General Letitia James claims in a lawsuit filed Thursday that she found financial misconduct in the millions of dollars and that it contributed to a loss of more than $64 million over a three-year period.
The suit alleges that top NRA executives misused charitable funds for personal gain, awarded contracts to friends and family members, and provided contracts to former employees to ensure loyalty.
Seeking to dissolve the NRA is the most aggressive sanction James could have sought against the not-for-profit organization, which James has jurisdiction over because it is registered in New York. James has a wide range of authorities relating to nonprofits in the state, including the authority to force organizations to cease operations or dissolve. The NRA is all but certain to contest it.
The NRA said in a statement that the legal action was political, calling it a "baseless premeditated attack on our organization and the Second Amendment freedoms it fights to defend... we not only will not shrink from this fight – we will confront it and prevail."...
