Well here in Oz that land that was once known as the lucky country. Our media/ sky news had an article saying that the Xi name is very common in China andthe ' who' didn't want it to sound discriminatory against 49 billion Chinese people who have that name. What a total crock of shyte.

So it seems WHO is naming the new "Nu" (13th letter in the Greek alphabet) variant "Omicron" (15th letter in the Greek alphabet)...but it appears to have leap-frogged 'Xi' (14th letter in the Greek alphabet).
WHY would WHO possibly skip Xi?
What's wrong with calling a China Virus variant "Xi"?
Xi comes after Nu...and before Omicron...yet, Xi appears to have been accidently bypassed in the variant naming process by the World Health Organization.
Xi Whiz...what's up with that?

Tell me...are you honestly surprised by this??????
The world should now know the origins of the virus, and it would be the omitted name.
