What are you on about?

Both Delta and Omicron are Greek alphabets.
All Covid variants are given Greek alphabet names.
The name is not given based on how scary it sounds and the severity of the variant.
Nor does irony has anything with it. For me, neither Delta nor Omicron sounds all that scary.

What about the name Epsilon? (another Greek alphabet)
The name sounds funny to me.
Does that mean that if a new COVID variant is named Epsilon, it will giggle you to death?

Logic is taking a serious hit on this thread.
All the anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists.
What has become of this world!
