Wow! Now I can pronounce the disease I will have, correctly!
Thank you for instilling the proper way to add this brave new word to our collective vocabulary.
Ab-er-crom-bie
Seriously? This is news? 🤦 fml. If anyone cares, they can google it.
How about MORONIC = OMICRON
That is funny because it describes everyone who does not take the pandemic seriously. Anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers are definitely moronic.
@Vaccines Save Lives Ignorance is society’s worst enemy
OH MY CRON!
SC-AM-DEM-IC, did I pronounce it correctly?
Oh-Muh-Cron PERSEI 8!
The new variant is spelled B-U-L-L-C-R-A-P.

Oh-mih-cron.
More-Ron-ic

But you could pronounce the “O” as in Over or Ovary or Opal or Ohm or Own…
This is why YouTube disabled the dislike count. The cover up this COVID nonsense
If you ask Biden, it’s OMNICRON 🤣
Thank you I’ve been waiting for someone to clear this up. At least this part of the mystery variant is out of the way now.
