Help us out—what would be a fun way to name future #coronavirus variants?
(assuming you know ‘who’ doesn’t act, which, let’s be honest, has sorta given up naming highly contagious variants now)

2) Some of us were also thinking Star Wars and Star Trek and Marvel characters, but not sure @Disney or @ParamountPics and @Marvel would allow us. But here you can vote anyway for variant names.
3) Some noted WHO already said they would use constellations after they run out of Greek letters but that’s why moons and planets could be good since they don’t overlap with star constellations. And at the pace WHO is moving - we aren’t getting new names for #BA5 or #BA275 soon.
4) Some folks think I’m shitposting. I’m not—it’s an actual discussion ever since someone named Ba2.75 “Centaurus”, and then people lost their mind it caught on. But @TheWHN is debating a better nomenclature since WHO isn’t naming anymore lately. amp.theguardian.com/world/2022/jul…
