I find it amusing that the article mentions (should there be a
sufficient number of new strains that they run out of Greek letters), a
possibility that a future strain might get named "The Andromeda Strain",
which they mention was a book by Michael Crichton, and made into a
movie. I don't think anybody is stupid enough to do that (the optics
would be terrible), but ...
Spoiler for the 50-year old book/movie: The strain in that also affected
blood clotting, but it was (hkhm) somewhat more aggressive than the
current 'Rona.
