Alpha first found in the UK
Beta in South Africa
Gamma emerged from Brazil
Delta came out of India
Move over all the above
there’s a new variant in town
The WHO named it Omicron
it brings fear of a new lockdown
Mask wearing rules are updated
more travel tests to be done
As we question and wonder
can the Covid battle be won
Like the flu that killed millions more than Covid worldwide directly after WW1, it seems we have to learn to live with it,
developing resistance via medical advances and behavioural
sense. Viruses always mutate and a lack of proper hygiene
allied to frequent modern international travel can only see
this continuing, not least as third world countries join the ranks
of those who keep crossing borders for a range of reasons.
Not one of the global world's shining achievements!!

Julie,
I think we simply have to live with it and cope one way or another. I am more interested in the source of this virus which seems to be shrouded in mystery.
Well written.
Thanks
Keith
