Vaccine-Resistant Lambda Variant is in The U.S

[WuWei]

Yeah I know. Who’s doing it, who are they doing it on, what samples are they using? That kind of thing.

@JayJay

“Assault weapons” and certain “high capacity” magazines.

All of which were available.

There were no weapons or accessories that were available before the ban that weren’t available during the ban.

One of the reasons it didn’t work.

Oh Jay, now you’re just being silly.

No you’re being overly fearful.

That’s really the only correct response at this point. I don’t know why it would even be debatable.

In the meantime, I’ll be interested to see how much more less lethal this newest strain is.

Scary Delta started in India.

Scary Lambda started in South America.

How’s Africa doing lately (sans all the civil wars and genocides)?

Africa has the Mu variant on tap whenever the other scary ones lose their effect on the masses.

Good to know there’s a hearty list of menu choices to help feed the masses. lol

Oh they got quite a menu list Six.

The WHO encourages everyone to use these new names to prevent discrimination and stigma. The names will replace informal place names for four variants of concern and six variants of interest – but the scientific letter and number labels will remain in use by scientists.

Variants of concern

• Alpha: Kent – B.1.1.7
• Beta: South Africa – B.1.351
• Gamma: Brazil – P.1
• Delta: India – B.1.617.2

Variants of interest

• Epsilon: US – B.1.427 & B.1.429
• Zeta: Brazil – P.2
• Eta: Various places – B.1.525
• Theta: Philippines – P.3
• Iota: US – B.1.526
• Kappa: India – B.1.617.1

All within the first year or so, eh? I wonder how many variants it will spawn within the next 20 years? It’s not just in humans either.

No you’re being overly fearful.

You © already did it once, although I doubt you were old enough to realize what was done.

Maybe it’ll spread to cats and dogs so when we’re in line for our free annual booster shots, our pets can come along too? It can be a national holiday.

[Bill.in.PA]

The Greek alphabet only has 24 letters, and with the lambda variant we have already used 11 of them.

When will Greeks complain about their alphabet being associated with all these variants?

[SixFoot]

Maybe we should start naming all these variants after exotic foods from the regions they originate from?

[Bill.in.PA]

I suggest that all the variants from Delta onwards be referred as “Biden variants” since Biden’s federally subsidized open-border policy has done so much to distribute them throughout the US.

They could set up stations at Petco.

[SixFoot]

I dunno man, we could probably blame Trump for this since the vaccinated people are the ones spreading it now. lol

[Bill.in.PA]

Of a course every COVID variant is a Xi virus.

Will they eliminate the Greek letter Xi from the list of variants to avoid confusion?

[Axxowiz]

America be like Pokémon cards with the covid variants must collect the whole set.

Pikachu!!!

The Peru Flu

The Machu Picchu Flu

Sendero Lung-anoso

The Cusco Cough

The Inca Incubation

What’s done is done. Assigning blame isn’t helping to get covid under control.

covid doesnt get “under control”.

it’s like a cold, and the flu. it’s here to stay. there will be endless variants

the rest is pure politics
