I guess now we do stars in alphabetical order? Betelgeuse next? Or Beta-Carinii? (That would be cool!) Because if there would be a next one is not up for debate. There will absolutely.

The thing is that this is still a subvariant of Omicron. So it doesn’t get a new Greek letter yet, and apparently some people have decided to fill the gap with whatever informal names they think sound cool.

Generally my go to, especially since the comment section is actually worth reading, as opposed to most sites. Mostly because, like this one, it is heavly moderated to keep trolls at bay.

The Federal Police carried out this Wednesday (3) a search and seizure warrant at the address of former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) and the arrest of some of his closest former advisers. According to the Federal Police, the suspects allegedly attempted to insert false data on Covid-19 vaccination into the Ministry of Health system between November 2021 and December 2022.
…
The insertion, according to Folha’s investigation, took place on December 21, before Bolsonaro’s trip to the US.

I had someone tell me a couple days ago we were warned stuff like this would happen if everyone started washing their hands and their bodies couldn’t build up immunity to germs.
