Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

I ran across a story headline this morning the a Mu strain has popped up somewhere in the world.  I didn't read the article, so I don't know where this Covid strain has reared its head.

I read that the "Delta" name came because it was first discovered in an India Delta region.

I heard some commentary wondering when they will start doubling up on characters due to the number of variants.  Waiting for Lambda Lambda Lambda to show up, but the big one will be Omega Mu.
