Re: Coronavirus

Quote:
The World Health Organization (WHO) has announced a new naming system for variants of Covid-19.

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.
I would have thought China woud be Alpha, but the WHO doesn't like upsetting the CCP.
