    When naming the latest coronavirus variant, the World Health Organization (WHO) skipped the fourteenth letter of the Greek alphabet that just-so-happens to have the same spelling of a certain tyrannical world leader’s name.

    On Friday, news broke that scientists and world leaders have grown increasingly concerned about the “Omicron” variant, prompting New York to call a state of emergency and the U.K. to restrict travel from several African countries. Given that the variant names jumped from “Mu” all the way to “Omicron,” skipping “Nu” and “Xi” respectively, people on Twitter speculated that the WHO tinkered with the order so as not to offend Chinese communist dictator Xi Jinping.

    I read an interesting article either yesterday or the day before in regards to this variant. I’ll summarize the article. For starters, South Africa has one of the top virus research facilities in the world due to the decades of dealing with aides and TB. So, with that being said, the variant didn’t nexus aril you start or originate in Africa. They were just the first to break down the strain and determine it’s new. It could and most likely already is in other parts of the world. Most importantly, they (scientists in Africa) are laughing at our news media and their coverage on all of this and see it for what it truly is.

      According to the doctor who identified the new strain in South Africa, so far it has had “extremely mild symptoms”.

      The South African doctor who found the new variant says patients are showing very mild symptoms so far.
