Watching—@WHO says #LambdaVariant has the potential for increased transmissibility & may have increased resistance to neutralizing antibodies, both characteristics associated with Delta. But no direct efficacy so far, Lambda still too rare. #COVID19

2) “Like the Delta variant, Lambda is highly infectious and thought to be more resistant to vaccines than the original version of the virus. Though much remains unknown about the strain, there have been some alarming characteristics detected by researchers.
3) “At the moment, the Lambda variant has been mainly spreading through South America after first being identified in Peru in August 2020, but cases have been seen in Texas and South Carolina.
Watching—new #LambdaVariant now found in 30 countries including 🇬🇧. “The Lambda originated from Peru, with the highest mortality rate in the world.” Some scientists are worried lambda may be “more infectious than Delta variant”. Still watching. #COVID19

2) Lambda and its friends say hi.
3) Delta is still a bigger thread than Lambda. A grenade in hand with the pin pulled (Delta) is more dangerous than an unknown possible-grenade-looking variant in the sky (Lambda). See thread 🧵
Un pequeño hilo 🧵 para descansar un poco de la #Deltamanía 🦠😉y seguir explorando el alfabeto griego de Variantes:
👉🏻Hablemos de #LambdaVariant Λ, también llamada #andina por haber sido detectada inicialmente en Perú🇵🇪, y de la q aún sabemos poco

🦠Empezando por aclarar q entre más oportunidad le demos al virus de seguir replicándose, y al hacerlo encontrar mutaciones q le dan ventaja (infección, escape, virulencia), seguirá retando nuestras medidas de mitigación:
Así q urge ponerle al virus barreras ➡️: 💉+😷+ 🌬

Esta variante Λ se detectó desde 2020 en Perú🇵🇪,…y ya está presente en al menos 31 países, entre los que está México
Importante mencionar q sabemos menos de las variantes detectadas en regiones donde la secuenciación genómica no es tan amplía…
