It would be very confusing to have a variant with a confusing name. And really, aren’t all these variants just versions of the flu? We should be well past the Greek alphabet by now.

"Oh! Micron!"

In other words, do not worry, peasants. "Micron: From Greek mīkron, neuter of mīkros, small."

It's just a small thing.

The scientific and engineering symbol for a micron is the Greek letter mu, μ. Why bother changing from "mu" to "micron"? That's just stupid.

How odd, they skipped Xi and went straight to Omicron. I can’t think of a single reason they would do that

the Omicron Variant.

It's either a virus or an electric car.

And according to those in South Africa, the new strain produces “Mild Cases” so honestly what’s the big deal here..or is this all about what we already know it is, the 2022 midterms

I also heard this morning that it seems to be affecting the “younger population” more than others
