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....

Mumsnet variant. Sense of smell remains, sense of humour fails.

Seriously, Tanzania

There Boris varient, all our hair will go like his and every ten minutes we will be condemned to to have to wash our hands singing "I shake covid patients hands, to the happy birthday tune".

(second covid jab booked)

Loving the chalfont St Giles varient.

What about the "Belgravia" varient, all our lips plump out so much we can't talk properly and our eyes get stretched back like the bride of wildebstien

An 80s variant.
It'll have big hair and love the sound of Wham! Or the human league.
It'll be buying up shares in sanitizer and face masks and thinking about buying a red fiesta XR3i sport to impress the ladies.

If it's 80s variant It'll be there singing Everybody Wants to Rule the World!

Oh do stop it.

Why are you SO desperate to extend this? The vaccines we already have are very effective against every variant thus far. Lots of people who are far brighter than you are working on the next generation vaccines.

@PetuniaPot

If it's 80s variant It'll be there singing Everybody Wants to Rule the World!

Oh yes! Or organizing its own ' live aid' concert for the other variants.

Err Eurovision may tell us otherwise.

I think we need a Cambridge one, then we can have a proper Oxford Vs Cambridge contest.

I'd like rather a sixties varient, buffon hair and Mary Janes, we will flick to the Kings Road like zombies wearing black velvet capes, heavy eye liner and swinging our bags.

Sorry 80s, I'm not keen on them.

... Flick/flock, flicking and flocking.

The South West variant....you'll start drinking cider that can double as paint stripper, greet complete strangers with "alright m'luvver" and yell "gerroff moi laaaaand" at various intervals...actually I think the village where I live may already be infected with that one.

How about the Beaconsfield variant?
Only infects people who earn over 100k.

I'd like a Welsh version, specifically a Llanfairpwll-gwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch strain. Maybe the media would stop trying to scare everyone with one they couldn't pronounce.

They'd have to use the B number😂.

@SomeLovers

What a hilarious and original post, really witty The B.1.617.2 variant has killed hundreds of thousands of people and could cause a peak in hospitalisations as big as the first two waves but don’t let that stop you making your oh-so-funny little joke.

Provide actual factual evidence to back that up please. I won’t hold my breath.
