An increasing number of people are catching on to the Greek alphabet letter variant fearmongering and are calling it out, but as usual Globohomo is responding by doubling down. I'm going to make a prediction here and now about the next Greek letter that supposedly will doom us all. I believe the announcement will be made in May or June of 2022, after the traditional spring decline in influenza-type diseases and at the beginning of the summer travel season, at the moment when the urge to get back to normal amongst the general population will be stronger than ever. We will be told that a new variant of Covid-1984 has broken out, it will be assigned its requisite Greek letter, and we will be told that this is the deadliest, most contagious version yet, worse than Omicron, which was worse than Delta, which in turn was worse than the Original. All nice and neat and perfectly arranged in sequence, despite the fact that viruses do not mutate this way in reality. Real viral mutations are random and tend towards less deadly versions, since dead hosts do not spread disease. Of course calls for lockdowns, quarantines, even more anal enforcement of mask mandates, and mandates for more frequent booster shots will accompany the announcement.
Now I can only guess as to which Greek letter will be picked (I'm hoping for pi, but doubt it - too easy to meme), but I'm fairly certain of the timing of late spring/early summer 2022. And I'm extremely certain that this will happen and Omicron will not be the last in the fearmongering line.
Remember this post, remember that this is going to be one of those "you heard it here first" moments.
