If India's workforce are out of commission, there won't be enough staff to produce the vaccine for India or the UK

Apart from what's posted on this board, I don't keep up-to-date with happenings around the globe, so excuse my lack of knowledge on the pandemic.

Is there not another country who will produce the vaccine for both India and the UK?

It would make sense health-wise to allow India to keep those. It would be good business sense too. If India's workforce are out of commission, there won't be enough staff to produce the vaccine for India or the UK, so perhaps that's another solution?

I'd say It's safe to assume that the entire globe will be affected by the new variant(s), probably a lot sooner than later.

Unfortunately, the whole corona spread will take many years to eradicate.

My country Is guilty of not closing Its borders.

In my state/province, we're declared COVID-free but the question Is, for how long?

You've explained It to perfection, better than most Google searches.

Absolutely nailed It.

As with everything In life, nothing lasts forever but In terms of the virus, It's the serious consequences and ramifications that's of concern until It's finally eliminated for good.
