LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Researchers have detected a variant of coronavirus, first found in South America, in wastewater in southern Nevada, suggesting it is spreading in the community.
Scientists at UNLV have found the Lambda variant, or C.37, in samples, Dr. Edwin Oh, an associate professor at the school’s Neurogenetics and Precision Medicine Lab, told the I-Team.
Southern Nevada Water Authority scientists take samples from wastewater to see how much coronavirus is in our sewer system. Oh and other researchers analyze the samples, which help public health leaders find spikes and clusters before they can be identified through traditional testing methods.
Coronavirus primarily affects our lungs, but the virus also causes secondary infections of the gastrointestinal tract. As the virus duplicates and is shed out of our bodies, some identifiable factors show up in our waste.
The amount of genome copies per liter collected was below 10,000 at the start of the pandemic. During the first week of January, the amount rose to nearly 1 million copies per liter around the same time case counts peaked.

They are doing backflips not to give any more diseases geographical names to protect their Chinese communist allies.
So we shouldn’t expect an ‘outer mongolian’ strain then?
You’re a jock. You can go sleep in the gym.
Well, just step out with one of those Omega Mu gals. That should be sufficient.
Isn’t using the greek alphabet to name virus variants racist or Eurocentric or something?
How about naming the variants like hurricanes?
Covid-19 ‘Stephanie’
Covid-19 ‘Chad’
Covid-19 ‘Janelle’
and the most deadly of all...
Covid-19 ‘Karen’ varient
Wake me when the Alpha Beta variant arrives.
Yeah Joe keep those borders open.
I'm working on a prediction what the next step in the plan will be now that the Left has softened up an irrationally fearful and irretrievably ignorant American public to believe anything ... and I do mean anything!
We're all gonna DIE!!!
Amazing they keep looking for variants and finding them. One starts to think this could be a corona virus.
Me thinks they may also be creating them.
Are they going to release collector stamps for each new variant?
Another crappy study!
The Chad, Stacy and Becky varieties are extraordinarily hard on incels.
How many S. Americans made it across the border in the million they counted the first 6 months? How many got across undetected in that time? How many had the virus but were never tested or vaccinated?
Almost looks like a fauci/biden planned event to spread the virus far and wide as they were flown, bussed all over the country sometimes within hours after cbp processed them. Now they wonder why the hesitation with vaccinations as folks have seen month after month the streaming across the border and spreading of the disease purposely, only driving the current feeling on the vax of 'why bother?'.
Last year we called the CCP jerks for letting their wuhan sick fly all over the world spreading disease. Now we have good ol dementia joe and his open borders inviting and yes even paying disease spreaders to hit the US with a tide of continuing disease with a new one provided every time a miracle vax is touted to kill the prior variant.
How ferking convenient!
Looks like vaccines and monoclonal antibodies are both effective in neutralizing Lambda. The media seems to claim every new variant will escape immunity until proven otherwise. Regeneron, the drug that cured Trump, was specifically effective.

What happened to the Delta Force variant?
That’s funny. It was the first thing I thought of when I read it.
