It’s not a joke, even though it sounds like one. One high official from WHO – World Health Organization, mentioned the fact that the specialists started considering what to do when the letters from the Greek Alphabet naming the new variants of coronavirus will be run out.
In an interview for The Telegraph, Maria Van Kerkhove, the WHO’s technical chief for Covid-19, mentioned that the organization started looking for alternatives to the Greek Alphabet in case the new mutations continue to evolve.
We will possibly run out of the Greek alphabet, but we’re already looking at the next series of name. We’re actually considering star constellations. We were going to go with Greek gods or goddesses, and I said please, please don’t make me say that publicly.

It still sounds like a joke, right? Greek gods? Greek goddesses? In fact, what’s up with WHO and how are these guys dealing with this global crisis?
If all they do is warn people to wear masks when in public and to present us recent statistics, it’s crystal clear they have enough free time for branding the new variants. What else could they do with their free time?
Have you imagined WHO as a group of people interested in the fate of the whole world? It seems you are at least partially wrong. They are now quite busy branding the new variants of coronavirus. DO NOT DISTURB THEM!
Any Zeus, Athena or Hera here? Too bad!
