The US can't even handle it. Try finding a place that guarantees PCR results within 72 hours outside of major cities, and then being able to procure an appointment to time it just right for your flight. Good luck. Not impossible, but not easy by any means. This policy will definitely have me rethink twice before traveling internationally from the US. That's assuming I'd like to reenter. Given the current political climate, maybe a one-way ticket is the best option.
