One thing we've done better than in the past is that the names for this disease and the subsequent variants have been memorable but not accusatory Unlike, say, "Spanish Flu", "Zika", or "Ebola" we've resisted the urge to brand it with the locations or the peoples where this disease was first identified It helps to have a name like SARS-CoV-2 that doesn't have immediate associations with sectors of the planet I do see the irony of the latest variant being called Omicron "Om" used to be a way of channeling a transcendental state Now it's more like, "OMG"
