New coronavirus strains could be named after constellations once the Greek alphabet is used up, a World Health Organisation (WHO) boss has suggested.
Maria Van Kerkhove, the WHO's COVID-19 technical lead, also warned it is "possible" new variants could emerge which evade vaccines.
So far, 11 variants have been named - including the Delta, Beta and Alpha strains.
Dr Van Kerkhove told the Telegraph the WHO is looking at new names in case they go through all 24 letters of the Greek alphabet.
"We're actually considering star constellations. We were going to go with Greek gods or goddesses, and I said please, please don't make me say that publicly."
The WHO is looking at proposals to make sure no one is upset with the names, she added.
She previously warned naming variants after where they are first identified can end up "stigmatising" a country or place.

How’s that old song go?
“I believe for every drop of rain a flower grows”
Well, they’ve turned that positive into its exact opposite - instead of flowers we’re growing covid variants.
LOL…I hope that have a well-paid select committee working day and night on this exceedingly important problem.
Every day there’s an article I swear is from Babylon Bee based on the headline. Today’s article came early.
It is also politically correct to give them letters of the English alphabet or even numbers.
“Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.”
Is there ANYTHING more important than that?
That alone tells you how woke and completely useless WHO is.
Glad we got that problem solved. The WHO hard at work. Anything on possible drug therapies? Priorities priorities.
Do people even ask anymore how many shots are going to go in your body?
Do people see this is never going to end as long as we let them control us?
Who the hell are these demons anyway?
Only Satan destroys what God has made.

Evidently the World Health Organization’s #1 priority is to be politically correct.
Oh, wait. That’s only WHO’s #2 priority. It’s #1 priority is to cover for Red China.

The more people get vaccinated, the more variants there will be. If everyone willingly consented to the jab, the media would not be talking about ‘variants’ . That’s leftist logic.
name them after the weapons-makers, like FauXi,
and the politicians that helped them, like Xiden and PeloXi.
name them for their financial backers, like GateXi,
name them after the holders of their PATENTS.
name them after the murderers of the CEO who made HCQ.
I say name them after politicians.
May I suggest the first constellation be “Lie-ra”?
Damn, you beat me to the punch! The AOC variant, the Biden variant, the Coons variant, the de Blasio variant…
When the variants get to Galaxy names and they name the next one Andromeda - Run!
(Wildfire)
Is there a printed schedule of when we can expect the boys to release the plagues?
A humble suggestion would be to name each variant after signs in the Chinese zodiac. The only inconvenience is that Fauci and his Chinese helpers would have to wait until each new year to release the newest variant. Kind of like model years for cars.
That means that every little insignificant wisp of a change in the genetic sequence will now get a name! Nice names, like Pegasus, Taurus, and Antares. Looks like the left is planning to keep up the fear mongering for quite a long time.
I’ve got a couple of English letters for the WHO.
