There’s a lot of fearmongering in the news regarding COVID-19 these days. This article will be no different.
It seems like we’re getting hit with a new variant of COVID-19 every month, and strangely enough, people don’t seem to be flipping the hell out about it like they used to. Where’s the paranoia? Where’s the fear? Why aren’t people panic-buying toilet paper?
We believe the growing lack of concern for the virus and its variants is due to several factors, the least of which being their names, which suck. At this time there are 12 variants of COVID being monitored, and every last one of them have names that sound like software companies or Daft Punk albums.
Delta, Epsilon, Omicron. None of those sound like something you should be concerned about. If you want people to really be afraid when a world-altering virus that has killed millions of people mutates into something new, you gotta give it a scary name.
Branding is everything. If you want folks to take the variants seriously, you have to give them names that will terrify, which is why we dreamed up 10 terrifying name ideas for the next COVID variant that are sure to scare the hell out of people. Or not.
