Omarion Trends On Twitter After The Introduction Of New COVID-19 Variant

Laughing the pain away: Black Twitter has found yet another serious moment to turn into a hilarious one.

Following the latest discovery of a new COVID variant, Omicron, folks on social media have found a new replacement name for it. People are now calling it the Omarion.

On Monday, an NICD presentation a flagged a large number of COVID-19 admissions among infants aged under two years as an area of concern. But von Gottberg cautioned against linking that with Omicron just yet.

“It looks like in fact some of those admissions might have started before the emergence of Omicron. We are also seeing that there was an increase in influenza cases just in the last month or so, and so we need to be really careful to look at the other respiratory infections,” she said.

“We are looking at the data very, very carefully, but at the moment I’m not too sure that we can link it definitively to Omicron.”

One user jokingly said on Twitter, “The Omarion variant is no joke. It can cause a cardiac condition where it puts an icebox where your heart used to be.”




Another added, “So Black people are just going to be calling it the Omarion variant till further notice. Got it.” See some reactions below:
