  • Delta mutation

    Why do they keep naming mutations after greek letters?
    can't they name them after royal houses instead?

    "the 'queen elizabeth' is ravaging india"

    Greek letters are very appropriate. You Greeks invaded India in search of loot.

    Elizabeth I signed the Royal Charter forming the East India Company whereas Alexander actually launched an attack upon India, an actual invasion.

      I thought there was a legend Alexander's forces came upon India and Alexander met a naked Indian man sitting on the ground and was so impressed by his wisdom he ceased his invasion. I suppose that was just BS.

              I thought he had a battle against King Porus at the Hydaspes River and then returned to Babylon because his men were growing mutinous and did not wat to participate in his egotistical quest to keep conquering things.

                    Chinese characters do seem more appropriate.

                        eh, you're okay. I did a little more research



                        both 2 shots are effective, it may be the Pfizer vaccine was used extensively in Israel and thats why they reported people catching the delta variant.

                        the 1 shot J&J aint so good though, 60-65% protection while the others are still around 90% and from what I understand the vaccines reduce the symptoms.

                          The vaccine wasn't intended to eradicate, on)y to lessen symptoms.

                          Moderna is effective against all known variants.

                            Pfizer is certaintly effective and moderna has very recently proven effective too. Aztrazeneca is simply less effective.
                            The fourth wave at this fall will unfortunately eradicate the unvaccinated.

                            Israel which is among the highest vaccinated nations (and where I recently found greek laiki (popular) music is their most loved and played music in the country, didn't know that), anyway in Israel 54% of all delta infections are vaccinated. However the symptoms are mild and you don't die.

                            Bottomline: if you had pfizer or moderna you'll be fine. If you had astrazeneca you'll be fine too.
                            If you have neither say hello to st peter, sooner or later, and that's a sad fact.


                            On a side note, open up you whippersnappers. US is closed to europeans.
