3) How did this name come about?
The World Health Organization is naming new variants of the corona virus after letters in the Greek alphabet. Named
Alpha, Beta, and Delta, the WHO abruptly dropped a few letters and chose Omicron. In fact, the letter "New" should come
after Lambda. It is followed by "XI" in the Greek alphabet. New means new in English so if left unchecked, it is being
propagated that the WHO also abandoned xi (Shi Jinping) in the name of Chinese President Jinping. These were
abandoned and the new variant was renamed 'Omikran', the fifteenth letter of the Greek alphabet.
