The Democrats are desperately hoping for a virulent variant to arrive. If this variant actually caused serious disease, they would get it here as soon as possible.

You have not thought this through.
A variant that kills, say, 40% of infected, of all ages, would absolutely be a variant Democrats would NOT want to be in the US.
The reason is cities. Their votes come from cities. Cities have people packed together, amplifying infection rates.
In general the only defense against this thing is Get Away From People. Prior infection doesn’t work long. Vax doesn’t work long. Get Away From People. That works.
They should be more careful in what they wish for.
They might think it gives them the power, but a huge number of people are NOT going to fall for the lockdown BS again, and will take it out on those proposing it. Part of that will be total opposition to any hint of laws/rules/enforcement of lockdowns, mandatory masking, remote learning or relaxed voting.
It won't be just no, it will be HELL NO.
