I remember them talking about the other variants. I remember when these were first discovered:

B.1.1.7 (Alpha): This variant was first detected in the United States in December 2020. It was initially detected in the United Kingdom.

B.1.351 (Beta): This variant was first detected in the United States at the end of January 2021. It was initially detected in South Africa in December 2020.

P.1 (Gamma): This variant was first detected in the United States in January 2021. P.1 was initially identified in travelers from Brazil, who were tested during routine screening at an airport in Japan, in early January.

B.1.617.2 (Delta): This variant was first detected in the United States in March 2021. It was initially identified in India in December 2020.

The reason these variants weren't discussed on this board with these names is because these symbols don't look like a triangle. We called them the UK variant, or the SA variant, or the Brazilian variant. We were calling this variant Indian, but since it looks like a triangle we changed its name.
