What is it you're saying, variants mean every wave should go on for eternity, and if they don't they're a nothingburger?  I remember you said something similar for South Africa that they were doing ok after their second wave, which was an utter shitshow, just because that didn't last forever. A few months later and their third wave has turned out to be similarly hellish. What should worry people when it comes to Lambda is Peru had a really high amount of total infections before Lambda arrived. Possibly the highest per capita of anywhere in the world. Despite that it didn't prevent Lambda from causing problems. I don't know if the numbers quite back up your claim that Peru was that high in cases per capita, they peaked at 9,400 per day in a nation of 33 million. Texas has a similar population and peaked at 24,000 per day... given they tested 2.5 times more I'd say it was a very similar outbreak. What I'm saying is that Lambda in Peru was similar to Alpha in the US, one it took over cases started to drop (until Delta). And I can't stress enough... it's winter now in Peru and cases are still low. As a matter of fact, they're just about the lowest they've ever been. Peru doesn't have a winter :) They have the wet season and dry season due to their proximity to the equator. Their incredible death toll per capita is pretty much a giveaway that they have had the most infections per capita in the world for a country.... if you are willing to acknowledge that. Peruvian winters are indeed warm
