I remember visiting Tbilisi in the early 2010s as a volunteer English teacher and being greeted with this stupid sign as we left the airport.

What other out of place, inappropriate, boot-licking or jusr plain dumb American or other Anglo landmarks come to mind for you?

[especially when they replace the much cooler names given by the indigenous/native peoples of the area]

Gamarjoba!

I spent nine months in a small village near Signaghi and would love to visit Saqartvelo again someday.

My main barrier to this would be protecting my family against COVID.

How are things going with masking, vaccinations, measures to reduce transmission and the general public's feelings over the past few years since 2020?

most people are vaccinated against COVID, although you won't see anyone wear a mask unless they're also sick
