Re: Coronavirus

Omicrom = Oo. I didn't realise WHO jumped to the 15th letter of the Greek alphabet skipping Nu and Xi .....
Quote:
Why 'Omicron', Not 'Nu' or 'Xi'? WHO Says Two Letters in Greek Alphabet Jumped to avoid stigmatising a region*. Chinese President Xi Jimping shares his name with this letter of the Greek alphabet making it awkward and turning it into an opportunity for racism considering the origin of the coronavirus.

Add/ the article keeps being updated so forgive me if my quote is altered before you get to read the whole report.

* Xi County or Xixian is a county in the southwest of Shanxi province, China.
