[Answer] Which two Greek letters of the alphabet did the W.H.O. intentionally skip when naming the Omicron variant?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which two Greek letters of the alphabet did the W.H.O. intentionally skip when naming the Omicron variant?"



...When the World Health Organization began to name the emerging variants of the coronavirus, officials turned to the Greek alphabet to make it easier for the public to understand the evolution: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and so on. The WHO said they intentionally skipped two letters, when naming the Omicron variant. They felt Nu would be too confusing with the word “New." The letter after that was even more complicated: Xi, a name that in its transliteration, though not its pronunciation, happens to belong to the leader of China, Xi Jinping. So they skipped Nu and Xi and named the new variant Omicron.
