The Lambda variant in South America is advertised as delta variant on steroids, and supposedly puts vaccinated persons at serious risks. So, more stimulus checks, pandemic checks, state unemployment checks and eviction restrictions will be needed if it takes hold in U.S. and shutdowns are necessary again. I pray Covid booster shots take care of it. So, masks mandates are still imperative now.
