Coronavirus: New 'Lambda' variant causes concern for WHO

I ran into the 38DD variant at Lowes earlier, was quite a site to see.

Lambda = Wavelength
aws.amazon.com...

Lambda-based applications (also referred to as serverless applications) are composed of functions triggered by events

I know that's not referring to a virus,... but what if it is?

If they knew about them they would have given them names.

Otherwise how would they know which one was which?

If I remember right there where over 100 mutations and many variants just months after the pandemic started

Why start naming them now ... well most hear already know why

How did the internet exsist before dns ?

The variants would have been assigned names when they were identified.

You not knowing them is not proof they did not have them.

Pretty sure Cuomo actually won one of those for his role in murdering a bunch of old people.

What is it then?

R2D2 and C3PO are going to be upset now.

Not so much here in the UK like when I was a kid in the 80's.

They are talking about a vaccine campaign in the future to get rid of it once and for all now

Quite unrelated…..

Do people have “chicken-pox” parties anymore?

“For the kids”?

Ya know, to build the immunity against the virus and stuff.

Has anyone asked WHO or CDC why we ain’t doin this?

I’ll be here all day….

Is it called the Final Solution by chance?

Okay. I’m done. Have a great day/evening ATS!

My thought on a new variant corona virus ( if in fact it still is called Covid 19 ) will be this:

After the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, suddenly we will here about a new variant much more deadly then those now, what will it be called: the tokyo 2020 variant Sad but maybe true. We are having people from all over the world now here in Tokyo, some are still being tested positive , but quarantine. So it is possible to have a mixed international variant sometime in September just enough to close down the schools. LOL

This crap has got to stop.

Why do all the named variants also have a simular identification like B1617 aka delta or C.37 aka Lambda

The people who do the research don't organize bye names it a system they use it has meaning the letters and numbers mean something individually

Thats enough semantics for me before I end up saying something that will get me banned

Hi there musicismagic,

Yeah, the Tokyo Olympic Rings should all have corona virus spikes on them.... ok, meme makers, there you go..

We make dark humour, but what you say of course has a very serious side to it as well. And a valid one.

The "Heinz 5720 variant"... It is looking to mostly be a televised olympics, with darn few audiences allowed.

It is concerning that some are showing up sick already. I suppose they tested negative before leaving their home country?

I hope Japan doesn't have any serious covid drama from the olympics. So many folks are missing out on the massive economic influx an olympics brings in under normal circumstances.

Agreed, it needs to stop...

LAMBDA !!!!!!😬

In politics the lambda is the symbol of Identitarianism, a white nationalist movement that originated in France before spreading out to the rest of Europe and later on to North America, Australia and New Zealand. The Identitarian lambda represents the Battle of Thermopylae.

I figured Covid for da (the) Lambs (sheep)

If you mean a "common" name like lambda or Delta then I'd imagine all discovered variants are given a name such as b1.1.3 or whatnot but then if that strain turns out to be a varient of interest as they seem to be called then they are given a common name so as it make it less able to be confused and easier to remember.

I imagine it's a bit like stars and planets that all have assigned names or designations but only get given a common or useable name if it's deemed to be necessary?

Actually if you Goo Gle Tokyo Olympics Rings, those memes are everywhere.
But I'll make this for you.

More fear. More fear. And oh, more fear. Nothing new. Move on.
Few variants then Delta then Delta + and now this Lambda. Next is Alien variant? Gimme a break.

a reply to: Bigburgh

Hello again Bigburgh,

Wow, that was fast! Well done...

I had no idea, so someone had already done the spikes on the rings?

Ha! Nice to know I am not the only pretzel person, (twisted).

Well, the letter after lambda is "Mu".... so here we go on the next covid variant.... MU, as in "Mad Cow Covid"?

Now that ought to get the sheep lined up for the death jab! Saw a video of a line of injectees, they wheel out a man on a gurney having seizures....load him in an ambulance, and not one person in line walked away!

If I saw that waiting in line for a jab, I don't think I would follow through on the jab. This guy looked totally F'd coming out on the gurney.

It will be interesting to see what comes out of all the people meeting in Tokyo for the Olympics and what will come out of that.
