Mariyam Posted January 7, 2022 Posted January 7, 2022 How do they name these variants? Delta is the Greek equivalent of the letter D. Omicron is the Greek equivalent of the letter O. What about the letters in between? Were there as many variants of concern?

I call the latest one Omigod variant.

Still better than naming it from the country it was detected first... CHINA, UK , Brazil, Israel. India, Singapore, Nigeria. It seemed like they would all finally compete for the World Cup of covid - most deadly wins it all Edited January 7, 2022 by coffee_rules nevada 1
