On the other hand, I think they will now use the reduced rates as a justification to test everyone now. Make the trip at your own risk.

Thanks for the detailed report. I liked the part about the swabbing, more theater. I am not sure they even do the tests.

A way to reduce the hassle is to fly non-stop from US to India and minimize the pain.
