What happened to Epsilon, Zeta, Eta, Theta, Iota, Kappa, Lambda, Mu, Nu, and Xi? Same as preparations A through G?

Sounded more like they wanted the top half of the pool and southern Africa could have the bottom half.

We had never stopped wearing masks while shopping even if those taking the credit card at the cash register were unmasked. We once again were becoming more social, we will probably retreat some from that.
Of course a month from now we might look back and say "That was nothing, what were we worried about?", but I very much doubt that will be the case.
Kids need playmates. I think they need playmates more than they need to learn the capital cities of states. I suppose the three Rs are always important. I hope we can do a good job with this. Priorities will be important.

Take the shot or the Omicron will come for you.

That would be a remake - we've already had The Omega Man with Charleston Heston.
Beside, with Omicron you could have a kid sleepwalking carrying a large knife while croaking Nor Cimo, Nor Cimo, Nor Cimo, which sounds spookier than Age Mo, Age Mo, Age Mo.

I got my answer today about Epsilon, Zeta, Eta, Theta, Iota, Kappa, Lambda, Mu, Nu, and Xi. The WHO said they skipped Nu because it sounds like New and Xi because it's a common name in China. I'm not making this up; I read it on the internet so it must be absolutely true. But I'm still puzzled about Epsilon, Zeta, Eta, Theta, Iota, Kappa, Lambda and Mu. Where'd they go?

I just assumed that the intermediates exist but are not troublesome. Probably the same applies with beta and gamma before delta. As to alpha, it might be the original.
Just before hearing about omicron, less than a full day, I had heard about a nu variant. Given what you say above, I am guessing that it was first declared to be nu but then got renamed as omicron/
This is all guesswork. Maybe they are going by the first letter of the fraternity/sorority of the person who identifies it.

So Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Omicron are Variants of Concern (VoC) and Lambda and Mu are Variants of Interest (VoI).
I didn't notice if there are any VNGaHAs, Variants Nobody Gives a Hoot About.

I bet if we made syringes in the shape of crucifixes and advertised the vaccine as the antidote to The Omicron we could get the unvaccinated to comply.
