While the delta variant of the coronavirus has quickly become the dominant strain in the United States, it’s not the only variant circulating in the population.
The lambda variant, first identified in Peru, is also making headlines as it has started to be identified in several states. Houston Methodist Hospital reported its first case of the variant this week. Scientists at the Medical University of South Carolina recently announced they had found the variant in a virus sample taken in April.
According to a database for scientists tracking coronavirus variants, fewer than 700 cases of the lambda variant have been sequenced in the U.S. so far out of more than 34 million coronavirus cases reported to date. But the U.S. has sequenced only a tiny fraction of its cases, so that number does not reflect the actual number of lambda cases in the country.
Fewer than 1% of U.S. cases in the last four weeks have been identified as the lambda variant, according to GISAID, a repository for genome data.
So do we need to add lambda to our list of big worries in the U.S.? Not yet, according to public health officials and experts.

I had no idea Sammy Hagar was in Revenge of the Nerds.
True or not, they will supply the fear porn to allow the elite to maintain control.
Well, if the experts say not to worry...
I think Booger is the one spreading the virus.
Just report to your local Mengele center for medical experimentation and you will be fine, citizen!
I’m holding out for the Rama Lama Ding Dong variant.
I haven’t panicked since day one. The only person I personally know who got covid was a fully vaccinated one.
Until the Lambda++2x
up next, the mid-term variant
Sorry for the lack of clarity—at the Mengele Center you will want to enter in the side door that says:
“Sub-humans”.
I’m rather concerned about a Six Sigma variant, I hope I won’t have to get recertified.
73 patents folks.... Fauci has 73 patents waiting in the wings.
What we need to know is that this ‘varaint’ is on the back burner for now, just incase the cdc can’t scare enough people to get the vaccines by their constant delta variant fear-peddling. If they can’t, then in the knths to come, the lambda variant headlines will mysteriously morph into ‘beware the lamda variant which scientists are just now discovering is 73% more contagious than the delta variant despite earlier tests that showed that there was nothing to fear. Cases in Florida are skyrocketing because DeSantis refused to reimburse state lockdowns... stay tuned for fast moving developments, as this variant is quickly spreading and devastating the country at a shocking pace’
They won’t be happy until they demand people get a booster every week
The Lambda....Big hitter.....long
Panic?! It’s the farthest thought from my mind lol.
what comes next? Gamma?
AKA the Peru Flu.
