Making fun of COVID
After all the hullaballoo over this virus, I'd like to suggest we devote a thread to all of the monikers, nicknames, parodies, etc. being used to make fun of the biggest non-disaster to ever control the world.
Also please let your votes be heard for the most creative. ;)

For a time we were Homo Erectus. Evolving into Homo Sapiens, the hominid of Mind.
And now the extinction event begins with the bowed over compliant, and severely "screwed" over and up.
Homo E-rectum!
Sounds messy!
The Oopsilon Variant:

Side note: This passage "“He was our first call,” Kielbasa said. “He’s pledged five billion to find a vaccine. He said his contribution would have been ten billion, but his divorce has left him a little short. He’s personally supervising the effort, says there’s no time to spare. He sends his regards. Of course everyone else is going to kick in on this. They have to.” There was no mistaking the urgency in her voice..." reminded me of the looters lining up to invest in Francesco D' Anconia's Mexican mine in AS. If only that were true of these evil people and they all lose their butts.
I did another satire that I forgot to mention. I put lyrics to the tune of "Galveston" and called it "Omicron." I didn't put that up on GG, but the SLL link is

I just tried it and it works. I put a colon at the end of the other link, which is why it didn't work.

Think next time I'll add, "Send for Godzilla. A new challenger awaits in Tokyo."
Me dino can just see it now. A Japanese scientist points at the approach of a gigantic sickly pile of puke with claws and cries, "Oh, no! Here comes--OMICRON! NOT OMICRON! EEEEE-YAAAAAAAAAAH"
The... the... the... Omicron Variant! ~ ~ woooooo!!! ~ ~
O-M-I-C-R-O-N <= :anagram letter scramble: =>
M-O-R-O-N-I-C
So... a variant that prominent South African doctor Angelique Coetzee describes as only "mild" - quickened pulse, sore muscles and a slight cough (Oh, the humanity!) - of a flu which itself was less deadly than the ordinary flu season of 2017-2018. Uh, yuh.
So... nomenclature. Now these out-of-control, Demo-fascist politicians are just getting silly.
"Omicron?" Really?
"Fifteen days to flatten the curve" clearly is becoming "Fifteen years to flatten the human rights." Yet some people are actually taking this lunacy seriously. It's our job to make sure the scam - particularly this latest, comedic desperation move in Exciting Nomenclature - gets the ridicule it deserves. While we prod our elected officious, at levels Federal, State and Loco, to take a Lt. Col. Frank Slade / "Scent of a Woman" flamethrower to this two-year-old totalitarian scam.
Enough.
I say we start a contest, with the ultimate goal of compiling a useful list of Excitingly-Scary Names for the next dozen or so "variants" that these control-fetishist retro-Marxian weasels line up for us. You know, names that are Guaranteed To Get Media And Politicians Back In A Fresh Lather. So here are some of mine, to put into play after everybody's started yawning about the d-d-d-dread Omicron Variant ( ~ ~ woooooo ~ ~ ):
- Necronomicon Variant
- Sauron Variant
- Vader Variant
- Pandora Variant
- Reaper Variant
- Voldemort Variant
- Medusa Variant
- Caligula Variant
- Mephisto Variant
- Warlock Variant
- Magneto Variant
- Chucky Variant
- and of course, The Bogeyman Variant.
Add yours. Make some memes on the prospects and on the contest. The possibilities are endless, for there are thousands of Impressively-Scary villains from thousands of movies, books, mythology and from every other cobwebby corner of culture. Let's go find 'em and compile 'em. Because the totalitarians need our help - with new ideas to keep the tired narrative fresh for the rest of the decade. Or so.
