Healthwise anyway.

Germany seems like a fish out of water when it come to tackling the virus. Actually, so does most of Europe. We're looking into getting vaccinated in the USA.

We slip though the cracks when it comes to the travel embargo. I'm still a US citizen, so I can fly back, and spouses of US citizens are allowed to fly as an accompanying passenger. In the other direction, my wife, as a German citizen is always allowed in, and since I have a valid EU/Germany permanent residence-and-work permit, so can I.
