I-Team: New ‘Lambda’ coronavirus variant detected in Las Vegas valley

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.

Call me cynical, but once we heard of it in Peru, did the Biden team race to make sure it spread into the US?

Job #1 was to make certain it was NEVER called the “Peru Variant.”

Nah, Biden is making sure we don't discriminate against any disease from anywhere in the world. Equity and all that BS.

"A recent Associated Press analysis found nearly 100% of hospitalized COVID patients in the United States were not vaccinated. Early analysis appears to show that current vaccines protect against the Lambda and other variants."

Harry Hay, who created Lambda for the homosexual abuse of young boys. His partner, Will Greer (Grandpa up on Walton’s Mountain), said 14 year old boys need a gay teacher.

Come on, man! We’re still in a pandemic so we have to let in millions of unvaccinated people from countries that have a poor health care system. Let them all in and don’t inquire about their health or where they came from. Democrat logic.

I wish to start the “Lambda Lambda Lambda” chapter here.

Tell me how I can get my charter.

Keep waiting - they will eventually get to the Omega variant.

“Covid in wastewater. I call bs”

It is not spreading through the wastewater.

The CDC has a sewage monitoring program, where they sample to detect and estimate the amount of disease within a community.

They have had this program for a long time (Cholera was a driver). It can provide early warning of some diseases, and gives them an ongoing measure of how much is out there over time, so they can gauge what level of response is needed. The technology has gotten more exact over time.

They also use this method to estimate how many people have actually been infected by COVID-19 (Total Disease Burden), as opposed to how many came in for tests, and tested positive (it’s been running about 2.7 times as many people infected, as test positive). They also have another surveillance program with big blood testing companies, like LabCorp. Those companies are paid to sample from the many routine blood tests that they receive every day (Seroprevalence Study).

Through the end of March 2021, they estimate about 115 million Americans had been exposed to COVID-19 (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/burden.html ). The next quarterly update (through the end of June) should get posted in the next week or two.
