Aren't the Greeks offended by these labels being chosen?

WHO announces simple, easy-to-say labels for SARS-CoV-2 Variants of Interest and Concern

WHO has assigned simple, easy to say and remember labels for key variants of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, using letters of the Greek alphabet.

These labels were chosen after wide consultation and a review of many potential naming systems. WHO convened an expert group of partners from around the world to do so, including experts who are part of existing naming systems, nomenclature and virus taxonomic experts, researchers and national authorities.

WHO will assign labels for those variants that are designated as Variants of Interest or Variants of Concern by WHO. These will be posted on the WHO website.

These labels do not replace existing scientific names (e.g. those assigned by GISAID, Nextstrain and Pango), which convey important scientific information and will continue to be used in research.

While they have their advantages, these scientific names can be difficult to say and recall, and are prone to misreporting. As a result, people often resort to calling variants by the places where they are detected, which is stigmatizing and discriminatory. To avoid this and to simplify public communications, WHO encourages national authorities, media outlets and others to adopt these new labels.

Since Greek is so widely used in biological taxonomy, I doubt the Greeks are offended.

Doesn't matter.
My sister is on a Q monitoring reddit page & apparently THIS IS IT!!!!!

It's going to be a harrowing and exciting week, going by a qer someone reposted on reddit. Be sure you have a food storage 'cause shortages and blackouts begin today. ('Are already happening in some places') Weds the MSM will be blacked out as well as the 'net. The rest of the week will be taken up by nuclear strikes taking out the White House, Buckingham Palace, The Vatican and 32 'other cabal sites'. A fake alien attack and a fake Trump assassination and other mass hysteria shit will follow.

Somebody in the discussion pointed out that surviving assassination/fake assassination in a sign of the Anti-christ in Revelations. So does this mean Trump is the Anti-Christ?

Oh no!!!!
