The UK strain has taken hold here.

That's the concern.

U.K. coronavirus variant is now the dominant strain in the U.S., CDC says
The B.1.1.7 variant is thought to be more contagious, and its spread adds to growing concerns that the U.S. may be on the cusp of another surge.

US State Department is bonkers

"The US State Department has heightened its travel warning against the UK, now categorising it as ‘Level Four: Do Not Travel’. This is the strongest advisory rating, indicating a “very high level of COVID-19”.

Some 116 countries have also been reclassified as ‘Do Not Travel’, including Canada, France, Germany and Israel. China and Japan remain at ‘Level 3: Reconsider Travel’."

Er. The UK averages 2,500 cases per day. The US averages 65k. An American visiting the UK lowers their risk of catching COVID by about 4/5ths. On the other hand, that American traveller is five times as likely to be infectious as a British person. More British people have also been vaccinated per capita: world-beating programme! So ... the State department is bonkers.
