With a view to simplify the pronunciation of coronavirus variants with names consisting of letters and numbers, letters of the Greek alphabet have been proposed.
The World Well being Group (WHO) has introduced its suggestions as an alternative choice to the names of variants, that are said to be advanced.
ALFA, BETA, GAMA, DELTA…
United Kingdom (B.1.1.7 – 20I/501Y.V1 – VOC 202012/01)South Africa (B.1.351 – 20H/501Y.V2)Brazil (P.1 – P.1 20J/501Y.V3) and India (B.1.617) The 4 mutated coronaviruses, often called variants of the virus, have been given the letters Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta, respectively.
from WHO “Whereas they’ve their benefits, these scientific names could be troublesome to say and bear in mind, and they’re liable to misreporting.” assertion was made.
“NO COUNTRY SHOULD BE STAMPED”
Traditionally, viruses have been related to places thought to have originated, similar to Ebola, whose names are named after the Congo river.
Nevertheless, this may be devastating to areas and infrequently result in misperceptions, as with the “Spanish flu” epidemic of 1918 whose origins are unknown.
Maria Van Kerkhove, WHO epidemiologist “No nation needs to be stamped to detect and report variants.” stated.
