Alpha Beta Gamma Delta...

I'm curious: how thebloody fuck did we get to omicron already? What about alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon, zeta, eta, theta, iota, kappa, lambda, and all the others before omicron? I never heard anything about any of those strains.

Not a covidiot, I'm just concerned that whoever's naming these covid strains knows frickall about the Greek alphabet

They don't all seem to be exactly going in a precise order, or maybe there's been far more lesser strains as it mutated that weren't publicly listed as they were so minor as to not be an actual threat to people.

At least they name them better than people name hurricanes.
