Next new scary variant....place your bets now!

[CottageGardener]

I'm thinking perhaps the Isles of Scilly. The Scilly variant....guaranteed to spread 200% quicker than butter in death valley....

@Cornettoninja loving your patriotism....

“Arendelle variant....bonus points if you know what I’m watching grin“

I wish you’d let it go

Oh that’s where the boundaries are on this thread.

Self-depreciation is a pretty common staple of British humour - it’s not like it’s we top the leader boards in much is it?

@CottageGardener

The Yorkshire variant will be reet grim and 100x more hard than the Kent one.....soft southern bastard

😂

@chocolatesaltyballs22

Also, those of us who are trying to lighten the mood a bit are not all anti vaxxers. What a sweeping generalisation.

Well exactly. I’ve had both vaccines. On MN re Covid you either must be Taking It Seriously or you’re a Tinfoil Hat Wearer. No happy medium.

Think some of you should hop over to my thread in chat on little acts of rebellion, am failing to find anyone who thinks in the same way!

Ha ha that's funny! I know there are new double mutation variants emerging but you gorra larf.

If it's not from Yorkshire, it's shite 😀

Maybe there will be a Eurovision variant?

@Cornettoninja the UK leads the world in music, TV, medical research, financial services, aerospace technology, education, literature, electronic systems.....

@BeyondMyWits Why a Portugal one?

A variant named after somewhere really inoffensive and where nothing ever happens.....

The Chalfont St Giles variant or the Leamington Spa variant perhaps?

If you say so.

How is being the best in the world at genome sequencing working out for us so far? Have we acted quickly? Has our world beating test and trace system fired in to action and contained these cases?

Or has it backfired and other countries blacklist us a al Germany? You can bet there’s scary mutant variants all over Europe right now. But they don’t test as much..

@Bepacific a Portuguese one because its the only place we will be able to go on holiday this summer....

Yeah - and it comes with a free cup of tea that will cure you

@BeyondMyWits
Yes, I’m in Portugal, are they saying people can come here due to low numbers, but not in other countries 🤷🏻‍♀️I’m wondering why it’s just us

@Bepacific I wondered why too

Ponyville variant of the new Horse Covid

A cat variant that passes to humans in the dead of night.
I think there's already been a couple of news stories about catching Covid from pets, but poorly described. I think Quadrupule Replicating Feline Mutant variant sounds much better. It "could" kill the entire cat population and "might" see hospitals overwhelmed by January if we don't cancel Christmas. Actually, why not a reindeer variant?

The Yorkshire variant will be obviously bigger & better than all the rest. Lancashire will try to outdo us but they won’t.

But it won’t spread, don’t worry, we don’t give anything away for free in Yorkshire 😂

@LadyCatStark

Lancashire, we will not be outdone by Yorkshire!

I think we need to have a posher Southern variant only affects yummy mummy types in 4×4's

@PlanetOfTheApesLives

That would be the SB#G1N11+ variant.. 🤣

My money's on the Icelandic variant. Every time you cough you sound like Bjork....
