Delta Variant???

A variant is simply a different version or a variation of something. Recently in the news, we hear a lot of talk about the Delta Variant which is basically a mutation of Covid-19 that has appeared in India. Stop and think for a moment? We know that coronaviruses such as Covid-19 are wily viruses that mutate. Moreover, we've already had many, if not thousands, of mutations of Covid-19. The so called Delta Variant has most like already mutated many times itself. My question to all is the following: is it possible that some are trying to politicize Covid-19 again by using a new name for one of its many mutations? I will let you think about it and decide. Personally, I don't have to think about it too much. TTYL!
