The subject and details of the Omicron movie have been the subject of curiosity due to the similarity of the name with the Omicron variant of Covid-19, which has caused panic in the world recently. The Omicron variant was first seen in the Republic of South Africa and Botswana.
The variant was first detected in Belgium in Europe. Germany, Czechia, Netherlands, Israel, Australia, Italy are among other countries where the variant is seen.
WHY IS IT NAMED OMICRON?
The name of the new variant has also been the subject of an interesting discussion. Because the World Health Organization names coronavirus variants according to the Greek alphabet. The name of the new variant was supposed to be ‘Nu’ in order. Because the last variant named before according to the Greek alphabet was ‘Mu’ and the letter ‘Nu’ was next. However, the World Health Organization skipped the two letters and named the new variant Omicron.
According to The New York Times, WHO officials decided on Omicron for the latest variant after deciding to omit both the Greek letters “Nu” and “Xi”. WHO spokesman Tarik Jasarevic told the Times on Saturday that “Nu is very easily confused with ‘New’ and is not used because ‘Xi’ is a common surname.” According to the statement, the authorities thus decided on the next letter: “omicron”. According to the news of Business Insider, some people criticized WHO for not using Chinese President Xi Jinping’s name “Xi”, even though the Greek letter and Chinese name are pronounced differently.
After WHO announced the name of the new variant as Omicron, 2 old movies with Omicron in the name became one of the most searched on Google. The subject of the Omicron movie has also started to be investigated. Here is the plot of the Omicron movie, the cast and details.
