Regardless of where lines are draws on maps, yes. Regardless of a whole host of other factors, not at all.

This particular pandemic was entirely avoidable in the first place. Food markets in developing nations frequently cause local health problems, and have all the ingredients to make a global one (as it seems to have in this case).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_flu_pandemic -- North America, .7 - 1.4 billion affected, 150,000–575,000 died.

COVID-19 may be from China, but a pandemic can come from anywhere and will come again. You can taking chance on its virality/mortality.
