Delta Lambda Phi (ΔΛΦ) is an international social fraternity for gay, bisexual, transgender and progressive men. It offers a social environment and structure similar to other Greek-model college fraternities. The fraternity was founded on October 15, 1986, by Vernon L. Strickland III in Washington, D.C.[2] The full, corporate name of the fraternity is Delta Lambda Phi Social Fraternity, but it is commonly referred to as "DLP" by its members. As of 2007, DLP was one of the fastest growing fraternities in the United States.Once the Delta wave is passed we now have the Lambda to worry about.

"Delta has now shattered that optimism. This variant, first identified in India in December, spreads faster than any previous strain of SARS-CoV-2, as the COVID-19 virus is officially named. It is driving up infection rates in every state of the U.S., prompting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to once again recommend universal mask-wearing.
The Delta outbreak is going to get much worse, warns Michael Osterholm, an epidemiologist who leads the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota. "
If one looks at the data and the countries that have just experienced and finished their spike in Delta one would see not the doom, but the good news. Cases rose dramatically. Deaths and hospitalizations DID NOT.
That should be GOOD news.
And yet they pretend that didn't happen and tell us to buckle up and be scared.
I'm sure there's some excuse for why the LA mask mandates aren't having an obvious impact....

I am sure @dad4 has a theory.
Yeah. Masks are pretty much the only difference between LA and OC.
Other than the masks, you'd have no way to tell the difference between Compton and Irvine....
"If we don't crush the outbreak to the point of getting the overwhelming proportion of the population vaccinated, then what will happen is the virus will continue to smolder through the fall into the winter, giving it ample chance to get a variant which, quite frankly, we're very lucky that the vaccines we have now do very well against the variants -- particularly against severe illness," said Fauci.
Biden admin apparently will extend the vaxx mandate to foreign entries into the United States. The sticking point is whether it will apply to illegal entries across nonapproved crossing points. The issue of course is central america is running very far behind Europe in vaccination. If they do it, it essentially means shutting down the illegal border crossings. If they don't others will complain they are being held to a higher standard and it may not pass rational basis court review. Hence the delay.
I notice Dr. F says, "quite Frankly" "very lucky" "very fortunate" "could be" "the experts" "lingering around" and so much more that it's making me sick to my head. I know we have smart cats at the forum. I learned one thing in life and that is to question everything. So far the the scientists who like to do experiments have not answered my questions with honesty, openness and transparently.
Dad, are we in a war?

Dad says, "no jab, no job." I get it now you guys.
Don Lemon says, "sorry, no entertainment for you. No going out to eat. No jab, no service."
My friend Jim was just told he need to get the jab to go to court house. He does law stuff.
Gov. say's anti vax are drunk drivers.
Most of my neighbors would want me in jail if I dont take jab.
Sad day today. Grown men making fun of abortion too. Grown men making fun of my dd on this forum for over three years. These guys are losing power and they know it. I heard a 70 year old woman was raped at gun point in NYC the other night. The perp came from behind with a black mask on and another sort of shield to cover his identity. He got a way and is looking to rape again. I know why mask is being forced down our lives now, do you?
Grown men think this is all funny. Guess what fellas?
