The reason why this strain is named Omicron is mainly related to these four reasons

At present, the global COVID-19 has not ended, and has undergone many variations. The most recent mutation was in South Africa, where the World Health Organization named it the Omicron variant of the Greek alphabet on November 26th. So, why is the new strain called Omicron? Specifically related to these 4

reasons! 1、 Why is the new strain called Omicron? Many netizens have expressed that Omicron is not easy to remember, read, or write. Why doesn't the World Health Organization choose a name that is easy for everyone to remember? The variant strain in India is named Delta, which is not easy to remember, but it is easier to remember than Omicron. The following Earthflow Department analyzes the reasons for the

of the new virus strain called Omikjon as follows:

1.

Reason 1: When it was named according to the Greek alphabet in May this year, WHO announced the naming rules for variants of COVID-19, which uniformly expressed the mutated COVID-19 in Greek letters. And Omicron is derived from the ancient Greek alphabet, with Omicron being the fifteenth letter in the table.

2.

Reason 2: Defamation of stigmatized objects can cause damage to positive images, leading to social consequences such as large-scale social exclusion and group protests. Therefore, in order to make the variant of COVID-19 accepted by everyone, the naming will also avoid being too stigmatized, and it can be replaced by the unfamiliar Greek alphabet.

3.

Reason 3: Easy to communicate, like the last cheap COVID-19 in South Africa B.

1.

1.529 Do you know? However, the variant strain B.

1.61

7.2 of COVID-19 found in India in October 2020 is still impressive. If we say Delta, we must know that it is a variant strain in India. So for the convenience of communication, we chose an easy to remember name for everyone.

4.

Reason four: To avoid offending any country, everyone has their own culture and race. Therefore, in order to avoid offending the culture or race of a certain country, we choose to use some letters as substitutes. 2、 What are the numbers in the Greek alphabet?

1. Alpha is often used as an adjective to indicate the most important or initial aspect of something.

2. Ββ (beta) can also refer to the beta version of computer software, usually referring to a publicly available beta version that provides general user assistance in testing and reporting issues.

3.Ι ι ? Sometimes used to indicate subtle differences.

4. Δ also represents the discriminant for quadratic equations in middle school mathematics.

5. Οο Omicron (International Phonetic Alphabet/'α m?)? , The literal meaning of kr α n/is "small O" (? μ iota πρ? ν), in order to distinguish it from "large O" (ω "? μ? γ α).

6.Σ σ ? In Greek, if the last letter of a word is lowercase 'σ', it should be written as'? '?.

7. The meaning of "PSI" is mysterious and unknown.

8. Ωω is used to refer to the end of an event, corresponding to the alpha at the beginning. Overall, the new strain of Omicron is related to reasons such as de branding, avoidance of offense, and avoidance of offense [SEP].
