    Yeah I'd love for that to happen but i have absolutely ZERO expectations that it will. The US will tolerate an absurd about of death and health damage through long COVID before they're ever willing to do what it would take for eradication

      Until they see work force dwindling down. Unless they let migrant coming in mass, hard to do with the amount propaganda the right has hit them

        Good point but still.

        America doesn't need an industrial work force. Also Americans are extremely custom to importing migrant work.

        As bad as COVID is it's still nowhere near as bad as it would have to be to convince the the American beorgousie that eradication is the answer.

        A new significantly deadly and still as transmissible variant tho?? Yeah maybe, maybe. The likelihood of that tho is dubious

          Dubious, but we can't predict. I'm more worry about a variant pop up in India though, which is a massive population and Modi just lets it rip like the US, let's see if variant more dangerous pop up.

            You're right we can't predict. But we have to keep in mind how likely it is.

            India as a source for the next variant sounds like a pretty good guess to me. Also an animal source seems possible as well
