(NEXSTAR) – On Nov. 26, 2021, the World Health Organization gave omicron its name, designating it a “variant of concern.” It was the day after Thanksgiving, and the first omicron-caused case of COVID-19 had just been confirmed in the U.S.
One month later, on Christmas, nearly 200,000 new cases were being confirmed daily. On Jan. 3, more than a million people tested positive, and the U.S. found itself in the biggest COVID-19 surge of the pandemic’s history.
Nearly a year after omicron first landed in America, we have seen sublineages of omicron spread left and right – BA.2, then BA.4 and BA.5, now even XBB. But we have yet to see a variant arise deemed concerning enough to earn a Greek letter for a name.

I speculated long ago that they wouldn’t get past Omicron, for fear of Pi jokes. They want to be taken seriously.
To: ChicagoConservative27
They'll skip PI and go to RHO. Too many opportunities for PI jokes; I'm sure they'd be afraid no one would take it "seriously".

Why no Covid 20? or 21? or 22? Because the media and politicians got the simple minded afraid of 19. The Greek alphabet variant names are meant to feed on that established, yet waning fear.

Because it mutates constantly there are probably now over 4000 Variants out there right now, so take your pick, most are now fairly harmless and will be.

I hear this variant is 3.141592653589793 times worse than Omicron.

It is circling back for a deviated reply form the Biden administration.
