I could imagine the reaction on here, if Johnson described it as German, if it had happened the other way round.
Lol...you have to be having a laugh. Only you could get competitive about being the first to ‘discover’ a ‘strain of a virus’.

If a variant of the virus was to be initially identified in Germany then I’m sure it would be called the ‘German virus’ or the ‘German variant’ for exactly the same reason as other variants are referred to as ‘British’ or ‘South African’.

I never expected to say this Ram, but you really have become a bit of a ‘snowflake’ over all this.
