Happy Little Covid Family

I am a little Covid

But not Covid 19

I only have four knobs on me

(Long way 'til I'm a teen)

My dad is Covid 19

My mum Covid two-three

23 take 19

Explains their name for me

Covid 4...

Scientists are bit puzzled

About my mum and me

Despite a Covid family

We leave you symptom free

We have them racing (frantic)

To find out our gerome

And cultivate us in their lab

(And here endeth my poem)

What will happen to dad mum?....

I'm sure scientists will work something out for him son....

PostScript

Scientists have a data gap preventing answers. Are some variants more deadly than others? Australian researchers have found six genetically different clusters which have evolved in different parts of the world. Question is – are some clusters more serious forms of the disease?

The Covid family would like to thank WOL Management for inviting them onto their world stage. They apologise the father it producing a spot of bother at the moment.

I assured them our scientists would sort him out quickly. They were most grateful of my assurance. He can be a handful at times they said.

I was pleased little Covid 4 was on his best behaviour. We all know how 4-year-olds can be at times.

Jennifer. Talk about Skip causing me trauma. He's promised never to do that again. I think he's more worried I'll stop his beer supply than me. I think a dog would be more loyal. They don't drink beer.

Don - i was interested to read a very recent online report that the
coronavirus was identified years ago by a pionering woman with
expertise is the use of an electron microscope. Now recognised
for her work, she was largely ignored (how often does THAT happen
when important events are involved?!) but time has brought due
recognition in retrospect.
