Imported from Metaculus:
"In honor of the mathematical constant that approximates 3.141592..., March 14 (3/14 in American notation) is noted as Pi Day by various overlapping groups such as mathematicians, nerds, geeks and people who frequent prediction aggregation/tracking websites.
Pi is also the Greek letter coming after omicron, which suggests it could be the name of the next named variant of SARS-COV-2 declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) - although two letters, nu and xi, were skipped.
Prior to the current Omicron, variants Alpha and Delta were particularly notable, quickly becoming the predominant strain at their respective times.
Will there be a Pi variant of COVID by Pi Day (March 14, 2022)?
This resolves positive if the WHO has named any variant as "pi" or any subsequent letter of the Greek alphabet by March 14, 2022."
