    Your title threw me off completely...I thought it was some phalm or something like that haha!!

    Yeah...all these new variants are a worry. Seems we just get on top of one and another crops up.

    Hello there my dear friend =)
    So I must say I was baffled by the title but that's because I'd not heard the Indian variant of covid called "B.1.617.2" so I have to admit I looked it up and bam there it was.. I've not been following the news that much as of late because it seems to be very scaremongering yet again unfortunately, anyway I digress.
    So I move onto the content....
    'Indian simmers' sets a wonderful scene or so you'd think, blazing sun and all that especially for us Brits with all the rubbish wind and rain we've been having as of late, I know I'd kill to be the as my vit d is crying for help haha but, unfortunately it's not because those Indian summers 'make us wheeze, cacophonies' so not all is well with the world, it's not good in fact it's quite dangerous to travel to India with what's going on because it will make us ill, it'll make us cough and wheeze probably sneeze too... Might I say that the cord cacophonies is an absolutely beautiful world, my lovely, as wheezing is one of the worst sounds I could imagine in all fairness - it makes me think of someone choking and it scares me tbh and that ties in nicely with the last line because wheezing and sneezing are just definitely 'a harsh discordant mixture of sounds.'
    Well done on this Mr D,
    Nominated.
    All the best, Em xx

      Hello, Em.

      thanks for this in-depth comment. I don't personally think this variant is something for this country to worry about too much, but unchecked it will lead to further mutations that may prevent the efficacy of current and possible future vaccines. The concern now is about sharing vaccines, so the world can be protected and so reduce/stop any further mutations quicker than we can create vaccines.

      thanks again for your comment - I really do appreciate them! xx
