Some variants like the Andes strain are developing the ability to be human-transmissible. It has been recorded jumping from one human host to the next in prior outbreaks. Once it evolves to be trivially-transmissible, all bets are off.

My comment addressed the Andes strain. Although it is human transmissable, it requires close contact. That’s why it’s currently not much of a concern.
