TLDR : Answer Summary

Currently, the primary requirement for a US citizen flying back to the US is to provide a negative Covid-19 test taken within 72 hours of travel. Other than this, there are no special requirements mentioned, however, humorous comments suggested trivial concerns that are not actual travel issues.
