I think I've worked out the issue. 

Omicron and Delta both sound really cool. Imagine rocking up to work to tell everyone you've got 'Omicron'. You'd sound like the absolute dogs. 

They need to rebrand them with names of things people don't want.

The beige variant.

Tax return variant. 

British Gas customer service variant. 

That'll cut the spread.

Everytime I hear Omicron I think of Lrrr from Futerama who comes from Omicrom Persei 8

The Nasty Cough of Death variant

The Womble Variant - over ground, under ground spreading disease. Bringing the folk of the world to their knees

Mogg variant? Imagine what a dose of that turns you into!

Alpha, Boris, Gamma, Delta

They could have done this at the start and saved many lives. Another missed opportunity. Sickening!!

The Ed Sheeran sings Coldplay extended remix?

The Mark Francois "Spartan Victory" audiobook, as read out loud by the author?

I think of Allez Opi-Omi, another pile-up.

From Moderna to Spikevax! Are they trying to put people off?

I dis say that when I saw my booster card, although Spikevax does soon kind of cool.

Lung-clap. 

Jk

Assuming that the order of the Greek alphabet is followed, the variant after 'Omicron' should be 'Pi.'

Outbreak expected in Wigan.

If our fears are unfounded and the omicron variant is relatively mild, we should rename it Lamda - sounds so much more soft and cuddly.

I don't think you could make up a more Orwellian sounding word other than Omicron. Hats off to whoever thought that up. It's got me worried!

A Mogg ...a bit like a virus version of a weeping angel... sends you back to suffering levels last seen a hundred and fifty years ago,  while some libertarian c**t feeds off the potential energy of your lost life.
