minus-squarePlantsRstillCool [des/pair]hexbear6·3 years agoGood 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 link

minus-squarePlantsRstillCool [des/pair]hexbear7·3 years agoYou'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 link
