Unless the South African variant spreads around the world, then we're in trouble
It will, because there's nothing really stopping it, the question is when not if. Hopefully vaccines will reduce the severity of this variant even if they do not outright prevent it and updates to the vaccines can be rapidly approved.
No chance the South African Variant makes it to the USA, Biden has already stopped travel from South Africa and since we know it could be a major problem any one trying to enter our borders will have to go through EXTREMELY extensive testing, the chances on anyone stepping foot on USA Borders who has that Variant, being how great our Border Security is is about Nil, Small Pox existed for THOUSANDS of Years before it ever got to USA soil, and we have much better Border Security now (Back then there was None) Small Pox killed MOST People in Europe and Asia and North Africa, and then each generation became more immune, eventually it became so it meant just getting sick, but because it had been kept out of the USA, Indians were NOT IMMUNE so it killed 95% of the Indians who had not built up resistance to Small Pox. We Will NOT make the same mistake, if we do, it is on us, This is actually a blessing for us as because Border Patrol and Ice will have the full support of all 330 Million Americans to make sure the South African Variant does not get here, when they do the EXTREMELY Extensive testing on each and every person who tries to come, we will stop Drug Dealers and Other Criminals from Coming in as well, and all that will be coming are good solid nice people who want a better life in the USA than they had in the inferior countries from which they came, They will be an asset to our Country and we will ALL be happy to have Wonderful People from every Country on the globe all united in trying to make a better life for everyone, and their love for THE USA and its values and proud history.
