The Delta variant of Covid-19 continues to dominate in Riverside County but new variants are emerging, including the Lambda variant, which is now in California.
Experts say Lambda could be more infectious and resistant to vaccines than the initial coronavirus strain, but it isn't yet called a "variant of concern" in the U.S. or by the World Health Organization.
Dr. Peter Chin-Hong, an infectious disease specialist at University of California San Francisco, said the Lambda mutation is predominant in South America right now, making up 80 to 90 percent of new cases in Peru – but it's spreading in the Golden State now too.
"The Lambda variant is definitely here, but the Delta variant is keeping it under wraps," Chin-Hong said. "It's potentially more vaccine-evasive as well as transmissible but not as transmissible as Delta."
Dr. Chin-Hong said the aggressive Delta variant is overtaking other variants. Delta makes up more than 90 percent of new cases in the state and around the country.
New variant = New Wuhan leak???
Never let a crisis go to waste, especially one you manufactured, and never let it die, keep transmogrifying it so you can hold onto power forever.
Does the CDC actually have a high quality test for Chile?
Whatta ‘bout testing for antigens?
The CDC remains dead on their collective butt.
New variant = more control
but make sure you get your vaccine and all the boosters ,D’oh
More fear porn. Just like every damn storm gets a name. Every damn flavor of Covid is there to scare you.
Keep doing the prophylaxes and you should be fine. Covid kills the sick and the unprepared. Walk every day. Stay away from sick people.
Lambda? I thought that was the fraternity with all the queers.
No, coronaviruses and the flu mutate and circle the globe forever.
Lambda is a sissy and will have its ass kicked by Delta. This country isn’t big enough for anything but Delta to be the last one standing. And then Delta will fade into a rarely seen endemic viral disease.
Imported over the southern border by the illegals.
I’m glad you posted this. Because I was just thinking this morning, we haven’t had enough “cause-for-concern” covid posts this year. Keep them coming. :)
The whole point is to get everyone jabbed, before they can no longer hide their depopulation agenda.
First Covid.
Then the Delta variant.
Then the Lambda variant.
Since they seem to be following the Revenge of the Nerds, what next, the Wormser variant?
The “concern” never ends.
Maybe the concern they’re talking about is this:
“A concern is a type of business group common in Europe”
A couple of thoughts...
The Delta Variant must be dying off and a new more infectious variant is needed to continue the scare campaign among the pubic...
When we get to the Omega Variant let me know because that equals Armageddon...LOL...
As time goes it will be come obvious to more and more people that the vaccine is a fraud then our elder will struggle to figure out what to do
The Omega Mu variant.
What special test is there for distinguishing a lambda variant from a delta variant and for distinguishing either of these from the original variant?
