The Covid Constellations

 

There are 88 constellations in the night sky and now experts from the World Health Organisation are considering using the names of these constellations to denote possible new future strains of the covid virus.

At present the Greek alphabet is used to denote the covid variations, there are only 24 letters in the Greek alphabet compared to 26 in the English alphabet.

In the future, rather than the alpha or beta variants there might be the Orion, Taurus or Camelopardalis variants!!
