I meant the replies were abusive, all the way from the first one. Shame we can't discuss things and respect other people's views. Was an important topic too. | |

Only saw a few bits of it at a fairly early stage, but basically my feeling about that whole 'naming' issue is sadness that human beings can't focus on working together to sort out the really important matters like getting the whole globe vaccinated in an equable, intelligent manner so as to protect us all; instead of wasting time & energy on distracting side issues like what name to call the variants. | |

That was basically my argument. Edit - I probably didn’t word it as eloquently as you did. [Post edited 1 Jun 2021 14:17]

Unfortunately, we are stuck with human psychology, which likes to group things together, then declare some "in" and others "out", depending upon local perspective and allegiances. Which affects how they regard the way things are named. In actual fact, all the variants already had entirely neutral names/designations (B.1.617 in the case of the so-called Indian variant), just they were presumably deemed too complicated and hard to remember by the media.

Are you in charge atm Gav? Why not ban a couple of trolls whilst Phil isn't looking? Everyone wants the forum to return to a better place, so cut out the rot. And it's not a case of opposing opinions, it's a matter of some getting their kicks from deliberately knobbish behaviour. [Post edited 1 Jun 2021 15:55]

That's as silly as it is false Naming the viruses DOES NOT distract from the any part of this work - and I suspect the bleats claiming it does derive from a racist perspective, than any reasoned thought. | | | |

Which variant is more destructive; the Lambert variant, the Keane variant, the Jewell variant or the Hurst variant? | |
