Naming of new Covid variant is pointless and will not make a difference

It doesn’t matter whether the World Health Organization has opted to give new variants generic names — it will still forever be known as the “Delta” variant that “was first detected in India” or the “” variant “that originated in SA”.

This new WHO naming convention is pointless and countries will be stigmatised and punished as a result. SA is a country that cannot seem to stop scoring own goals at every turn, even when it tries to be transparent and do the right thing. Even the few smart people we have left seem to be desperately lacking in wisdom.
