The discovery was named “Deltacron” due to the identification of Omicron-like genetic signatures within the Delta genomes.
The sequences of the 25 “Deltacron” cases were sent to GISAID, the international database that tracks changes in the virus, on January 7.
With new Covid strains emerging at breakneck speed, Netizens flooded Twitter with memes to express their fear and irritation.
