[size=inherit]The World Health Organization has announced a new naming system for variants of Covid-19.[/size]
From now on the WHO will use Greek letters to refer to variants first detected in countries like the UK, South Africa and India.
The UK variant for instance is labelled as Alpha, the South African Beta, and the Indian as Delta.From the bbc -----a scientist said [size=inherit][color=rgb(63, 63, 66)]the country was in the early stages of a third wave[/color][/size] of coronavirus infections, in part driven by the Delta, or Indian variant.
It is thought to spread more quickly than the Alpha (UK; Kent) variant, which was responsible for the surge in cases in the UK over the winter.
Vietnam, meanwhile, has detected what appears to be [size=inherit][color=rgb(63, 63, 66)]a combination of those two variants[/color][/size].
WHO are a joke. People will now be even more confused with the stupid Greek re naming. Bbc feeling the need to add the old name in brackets. So what the veitnam scare variant now to be called then, Kent Alpha Indian delta FFS :rolleyes
Sounds like an episode of z cars.
And shouldn't the one from the Chinese lab be the one called Alpha. Where the foc is that one WHO ?. Seems like they are erasing it from history on the demand of their paymasters in China
Wanna make it easy call it Wuhan 1 wuhan 2, wuhan 3 etc
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.
