Delta Lambda etc.

So school is about to start and covid is still a thing. Delta is going to take out a bunch of unvaccinated people including some kids. Next is the lambda variant which has killed more people as a percent of infections than any other variant. Lambda basically decimated Peru. So what are we going to do? Local and Federal governments have basically given up and in to the anti maskers. There’s seems to be no good way out.

You know how gay you sound?
If lambda turns out to be a real problem, the "anti-maskers" will give in willingly. The most common premise they cite is that this is not actually a dangerous pandemic. If that changes, then their take will change.
> Lambda basically decimated Peru

Do you mean Peru in South America (67 deaths 7 day avg; lowest in 16 months)? Or Peru in Nemaha County, Nebraska?
