1. might as well be called something other than Nu.

If called Nu, the morons would scoff at it as being the NEW virus and everyone knows it isn't new.

4. WHO labels new Covid strain as variant of concern named Omicron with possible increased reinfection

The World Health Organization on Friday assigned the Greek letter Omicron to a newly identified Covid variant in South Africa.

The U.N. health agency recognized the strain, previously referred to as lineage B.1.1.529, as a variant of concern.

Health experts are deeply concerned about the transmissibility of the Omicron variant given that it has an unusual constellation of mutations and a profile that is different from other variants of concern.
