There seems a strong case for calling the recent scourge the “DeSantis variant”. I’m down with it.
From The Hill: “"Perhaps it's time to start naming these new variants that may be coming out after them," Acosta said, referring to the GOP politicians. "Instead of the delta variant, why not call it the DeSantis variant?"”
“When a new Covid-19 variant emerges in Florida, we absolutely MUST call it the DeSantis variant.”- George Takei
