Nineteen Eighty-Four has become a classic literary example of political and dystopian fiction. It also popularised the term "Orwellian" as an adjective, with many terms used in the novel entering common usage, including "Big Brother", "doublethink", "Thought Police", "thoughtcrime", "Newspeak", and "2 + 2 = 5”.  Thank you, Wikipedia

The delta variant occurred after only 18 months, not four years as if it were on an arithmetic scale as claimed.  We should have gone thru Alpha Beta Gamma but we went direct to Delta then Omicron We skipped Beta/Gamma just as we skipped eta, theta, iota, kappa & epsilon!
