So what differentiates the three, (covid, delta, lambda
COVID was highly transmittable and killed around .5% of people, of which 94% were people with 3+ comorbidities and an average age of 68.
Delta is even more transmittable but is less lethal so fewer people are dying % wise and overall. Also the vax, advances in therapeutics, and less sick old people on their last leg are contributing to the lower death rate.
Evidently Delta didn't produce enough carnage despite the fear mongering so it is time to move on to Lambda.
I'm no scientist but have read a few Facebook posts that claim according to science the variations of viruses are always more transmittable and less deadly as the virus is mutating with the imperative to survive. If it kills all its hosts then it kills itself.

And for the 100th time, all RT-PCR assays can tell the difference between covid and influenza. The difference is the ability of an assay to confirm yes/no for 1 virus vs multiple.
And you have been wrong all 100 times. No matter what button you push on the machine, the panel that confirms COVID does not include anything other disease. You have to run a separate test with a another swab to detect influenza.
quote:
Experts interviewed by USA TODAY said that the CDC will discontinue their RT-PCR because it searches for a genetic makeup that is unique to SARS-CoV-2. It does not look for influenza’s genetic material.
For example, the panel only includes one strain of SARS-CoV-2 and one cross-reactant, MERS-CoV. Recent mutations reported for SARS-CoV-2 (e.g., D614G), which may impact molecular testing, are not included.
So lets make sure you don't get to 101 times. Kay?

Get the vax. Team players!

So I guess you weren't aware of the I.C.E processing centers at Alexandria airport. They fly in loads of illegals daily to AEX?

“The Alexandria Staging Facility sits at Alexandria International,” said Sandra McQuain, executive director of AEX. “It’s on the flight line. And yes, the operations take place here at the airport.”

According to Flight Radar, there are five flights that left Laughlin Airforce Base and arrived in Alexandria in the past month – two of which took place July 13 and 14.

“He said, indeed this practice has been going on for some time in the cities of Louisiana, Alexandria included, said Cassidy. “The people being released are illegal, but they’re claiming asylum. And until their case is heard in court, they stay in the U.S.”
So if they were bringing Lamda to the vaccinated ICE employees, when would those case start popping in the community? Like now, right?

How do they know?
The covid test is unable to determine which variant of covid one has, nor can it differentiate the difference between covid, a head cold or the flu. All test positive when taking the covid test.

Who are also the unvaxxed.
Biden's fricking immigration policy is literally the best argument for vaccines of any kind.

They are all COVID. Viruses mutate. These variants were all given names corresponding to where the mutation occurred. Dumbass Biden decided that was racist and got the WHO to rename them with Greek letters in the order they were discovered.
Delta was the Indian variant. It is currently the most transmissible one. Lambda was Peru. Alpha was UK. There are also Beta, Iota, Gamma, Eta, and Kappa.

As with all species, this is true. If they are unsuccessful, they will die out.

This part is false. Viruses mutate. Some will be successful, and some won't. Some will be worse than others.

What a wonderful political move to create Greek names of these viruses
is that why Hurricanes past W no longer use the Greek Alphabet????

Could the vaccine be the virus/variant?
New push to get people vaccinated will cause more Covid cases.
More Covid cases has to be blamed on something new, hence Lambda.

You develop a disease in a lab. You infect people with the Lambda disease you created. No test needed!!!

Prove it! They don’t even have a specific test to identify delta. There is literally no way they can truly identify a variant,
My wife and I were just having this conversation with our friends last night. My friends wife said that there is no test. My wife stated that they have to send it to a lab to determine which variant. When she tested positive, she asked and was told that it would have to be sent off to determine which variant she had. I'm thinking both are right. Here is an article on how they determine it. Draw your own conclusion

I see your lack of reading sarcasm . I literally said exactly what they were doing and it couldn’t possibly be that which explains reasons why the increase

League...that is only true of the single panel tests. The article you quoted was specifically discussing the single-assay RT-PCR developed by the CDC early in the pandemic. There are now over 100 authorized or approved RT-PCR tests, and at least 17 of them are multiplex/multi-analyte, meaning they can specifically test for more than one pathogen.
For example, the FDA approved BioFire RP2.1 can test for all of the following with one swab:
- Adenovirus,
- Coronavirus 229E,
- Coronavirus HKU1,
- Coronavirus NL63,
- Coronavirus OC43,
- Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2),
- Human Metapneumovirus,
- Human Rhinovirus/Enterovirus,
- Influenza A, including subtypes H1, H1-2009, and H3,
- Influenza B,
- Parainfluenza Virus 1,
- Parainfluenza Virus 2,
- Parainfluenza Virus 3,
- Parainfluenza Virus 4,
- Respiratory Syncytial Virus,
- Bordetella parapertussis (IS1001),
- Bordetella pertussis (ptxP),
- Chlamydia pneumoniae, and
- Mycoplasma pneumoniae
