Lambda variant is in California: cause for concern?

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.

I’m sure they have new test kits new masks, more isolation and a newer better booster? Who needs God and an immune system when you have big pharms, the FDA and the government?

New variant = New Wuhan leak???

I think the CCP has vials in the Whuan lab labeled Covid19 - D, Covid19 - L, Covid19 - M, etc.

A new variant will be released every time people stop being afraid.

No, just the virus continually re-inventing itself with every new inoculation that is given. The vaccines are causing the variants.

If you get lots of vaccines, eventually you might get one that protects you against the Covid hysteria!

No they are coming from the vaccinations. Don’t believe me?

How come the Spanish flu didn’t have a bunch of variants?

It has been stated that Lambda is completely resistance to the vaccine. Makes sense since it was the vaccine that created it.

What special test is there for distinguishing a lambda variant from a delta variant and for distinguishing either of these from the original variant?

The Delta variant has three sids, the alameda has two.
