Who's afraid of the [S]Xi[/S] [S]Nu[/S] Omicron variant?

That's how President Biden pronounces it

Why do we care?

[d000hg]

Maybe in a developed country. The UK simply let a couple of plane loads from SA land and disembark as normal over the weekend, whereas in the Netherlands they held the passengers and tested them all. There was a near 10% positivy rate.

Sure, so then how did they get OUT of the UK with a positive test? We DO have checks to fly.

You'd think the UK et al would require the other country to test, or would insist on tests on arrival.

What's Omricon?

Did you know Omicron is an anagram of "moronic?"

What started at a pandemic became an IQ test. Since Omicron is an anagram of Moronic, it's clear we've all failed that test.

I read somewhere that in ancient times the emphasis was on the "micron" and "mega" rather than the "O"

If that is true, then Mary Beard fluffed it by publicly claiming the emphasis should be on the "O"
