Yeah… I remember the story. It’s basically the Greek alphabet excluding XI every month. Omicron has been “around” since July but it’s headlines now? I mean it is the scariest Greek letter (hide your kids). I would take it to mean they are afraid, things haven’t gone as planned, and ramping up the timeline?
I've been waiting on the greeks to throw a tantrum and demand that their alphabet not be used for a virus originating in china.. and accuse the WHO of being racists. Why not use chinese character names instead of greek ones?
Not a lot about any of that makes sense.. but what does make sense is the marketing campaign 'new coke' style different name to hype up the same damn thing. Psyops in advertising is probably where the practice is the most widespread and battle-tested.

Actually they knew about it a year ago https://twitter.com/JuV3niN0_MaTtO/status/1464532820844552199?s=20
The image includes "Xi", which they've written as "Chi".
No it doesn't. Chi is it's own letter and looks like X. Xi comes between nu and omicron and appears to have been written Ksi. Cmon man.

I’m am not proficient in Greek but I will try to be better. Thank you for the clarification. Definitely your forte judging by the name! Any thoughts?
