OK so
We've discovered a new variant
It's spreading fast
So
We need to call it something
Well we have done extensive market research
with the public and one thing is
become abundantly clear
They want to move away from that
whole Greek alphabet naming system
Boring
Really?
Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta
It's just white noise isn't it?
So what are you thinking?
OK well first up we have the
Not again
Variant
Oh OK
There's the
Ah Give it a Rest
Variant
Right
The You've Ruined
Christmas Variant
Um...
No
Variant
OK right
So I shouldn't have to explain
why we are not going with any of them
Do you have anything else?
Why don't we just go back to naming them after
countries where they are discovered?
No, we are not doing that again
Well it worked for the UK Variant
The Alpha Variant
OK? No it didn't
It was
unfair and discriminatory
I kinda liked it
It stuck with the public
Yeah
Well it stuck for the Ebola Virus too
Do you know where we got the name for that?
No
Well let's just say there is not much
tourism going on
down at the River Ebola
Fair enough
So we are going back to the Greek alphabet
So
Dull
We're on...
Lambda...
Mu...
So
We're on Nu
N - u
Nu?
So we are calling it the
New Variant?
What are we going to call the next one?
The
Newer Variant?
The Brand New Improved Variant
I Can't Believe it's not Variant
Variant?
Fine well we can skip one
OK Xi
Xi?
Oh isn't that the same name spelled as
The President of the Peoples Republic of China?
Yes
Yes it's spelled the same OK
The Chinese
President Variant?
I mean that is pointed.
Fine we'll skip that one too
OK
Omicron
Omicron?
Yeah Omicron
That's a Greek letter?
Of course it is
Are you saying it right?
Yeah Omicron
It's the 15th letter of the Greek alphabet
Omicron
You're sure?
I've never heard of it
Nah me neither
I mean it sounds like something
you clean your toilet with
Yeah yeah
Or maybe something you treat a
fungal nail with
Omicron
I might buy a teeth whitening kit
called Omicron
I'd use Omicron to get rid of dandruff in hair
I'd say my uncle would probably
deworm his cattle with Omicron
Omicron
Omicron that's what it sounds like
We're calling it Omicron
OMICRON
OMICRON!!
Do you know what it sounds like?
It sounds like a super villain
or a transformer
Yes that it, it does
Omicron
The world is in peril
from the evils of
Omicron
Yeah Omicron from the
Planet Omicronia
The Omicronians are coming
Part robot
Part man
Part mutant
OK meeting is over
