Maybe.
The same was said about the original virus, though. Clearly not a non-issue, although the markets seem to think so.
So maybe it is a non-issue.

WHO skipped Greek letters Nu, Xi to name O-Micron variant.
MICRON TECHNOLOGY MU
will probably send a protest note to WHO.
You can't use Omega because there are OMEGA watches.
You can't use Sigma because there is Sigma Corporation.
You can't use Zeta because it is a modern banking tech company, US.
You can't use Lambda because there is Lambda Clothing.
etc
And there will be more mutants coming up.
It seems like WHO has to come up with some
alien symbols / letters to name the variant
so as not to offend anyone / company.
Good Luck ! WHO !

So nobody actually reads the news here?
The market is bouncing back because both the SA and an Israeli doctor said that although Omicron is probably more able to spread, but symptoms are LESS.
Which is what we want in a new variant!!! Get everybody as quickly as possible infected with a milder version, so populations have immunity by either vax or naturally. THAT ends the pandemic...
Edit: Mind you, just because Omicron is probably less symptomatic than Delta, it WILL STILL KILL! People still going to die a lot, but less lot than if it was a more dangerous variant. Get vaxxed, get boosted. [end of public service announcement]
