Can’t we surmise that the new variant’s name sounds—perhaps intentionally so—OMINOUS?

With the help of ally Dr. Anthony Fauci, the United Nation’s WHO, hit the panic button on what the mainstream media is already calling a “MONSTER” virus during America’s Thanksgiving Weekend.
“Dr. Anthony Fauci, the U.S. government’s top infectious disease expert, said Saturday that he “wouldn’t be surprised” if the omicron coronavirus variant is already here. (Forbes, Nov. 27, 2021)
“The UN public health body sparked panic by warning that preliminary evidence suggested that the mutation has an increased risk of reinfection and is more transmissible than other strains. Downing Street's scientists previously said that the variant could be vaccine resistant. “Scientists are racing to tweak existing vaccines against the new Covid variant spreading rapidly across the planet.” And just to think that world populations are already trying to hide from Covid-19 with face coverings!The Media, both mainstream and social, are over in the corner questioning why WHO is calling the latest virus variant OMICRON. Why they bypassed NU & XI-before landing on the variant’s name.
"He who must not be named. It appears the W.H.O. has skipped the next Greek letter after Nu to name the new variant. The next letter is Xi. The concern is that W.H.O. is again avoiding any discomfort for the Chinese government. So they named it Omicron," Jonathan Turley, a professor at George Washington University Law School, reacted.”Can’t we surmise that the new variant’s name sounds—perhaps intentionally so—OMINOUS? Poor South Africa where there are fewer than 6% of people vaccinated. “For months, the WHO has described Africa as “one of the less affected regions in the world” in its weekly pandemic report. (AP, Nov. 19, 2021) Overnight, the tables have been turned on them, and long fingers of blame are now pointed at the country, displaying South Africa to the outside world as the biggest spreader of a “monster” strain—even more deadly than the virus that shut the world down for the past two years. At the time of this writing there were no regions within the U.S. where the ‘Ominous’ variant has been detected. Yet in New York, Go. Kathy Hochul instituted a State of Emergency, cancelling all elective surgery. Did Hochul take Anthony Fauci’s scare-mongering warning “it’s likely here already” at face value? “Britain, Germany and Italy detected cases of the new Omicron coronavirus variant on Saturday and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced new steps to contain the virus, while more nations imposed restrictions on travel from southern Africa.

“The discovery of the variant has sparked global concern, a wave of travel bans or curbs and a sell-off on financial markets on Friday as investors worried that Omicron could stall a global recovery from the nearly two-year pandemic. “Israel said it would ban the entry of all foreigners into the country and reintroduce counter-terrorism phone-tracking technology to contain the spread of the variant. “The two linked cases of Omicron detected in Britain were connected to travel to southern Africa, British health minister Sajid Javid said. “Johnson laid out measures that included stricter testing rules for people arriving in the country but that stopped short of curbs on social activity other than requiring mask wearing in some settings.
"We will require anyone who enters the UK to take a PCR test by the end of the second day after their arrival and to self-isolate until they have a negative result," Johnson told a news conference. "People who had come into contact with people testing positive for a suspected case of Omicron would have to self-isolate for 10 days and the government would tighten the rules on wearing face coverings, Johnson said, adding the steps would be reviewed in three weeks.”Obviously too late for Brits travelling to and returning from South Africa. Meanwhile, try not to catch cold this winter. Because, you , your friends and loved ones will be avoided like the proverbial plague with accusations that it is YOU and not South Africa that is spreading Omicron—indiscriminately—to the rest of the world.
