Marketing team for the new COVID variant name 😷

COVID-19 hasn't gone away because the SARS-CoV-2 virus mutates a lot to try and evade our antibodies. This family of variants are a group named after their mutations which are the following:

The amino acid phenylalanine (abbreviated as F) replaces leucine (abbreviated as L), while arginine (R) is replaced by threonine (T)... Put an 'i' in there and you get FLiRT! ❤️

By understanding these mutations, scientists can better decide how to formulate future COVID vaccines! 💉

By now most people have either been infected with COVID-19, vaccinated, or both. But don't forget it remains a significant concern for older and immunocompromised people. So keep washing your hands and taking steps to keep vulnerable people safe 😄
