(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.

“That’s good news,” said Dr. Monica Gandhi, a professor of medicine and infectious disease expert at the University of California, San Francis

"That's MY Pi!"

[rightwingcrazy]

I speculated long ago that they wouldn’t get past Omicron, for fear of Pi jokes. They want to be taken seriously.

[dayglored]

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".

LOL GMTA

[ConservaTexan]

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.

Paging Jack Horner to the ICU

These new variants are going to be continued to be manufactured until the West is fully locked down under totalitarian authority forever.

[Captain Peter Blood]

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.

[FlipWilson]

I hear this variant is 3.141592653589793 times worse than Omicron.

[Robert A Cook PE]

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

[x]

No, it's 3.141592653589793 months down the road.

They couldn't finish it before the election.

[Orosius]

Will it be over when we run out of Greek letters?

[Don Corleone]

Covid, just like PI has no determined ending. 3.14159......>

[Delta 21]
