Last year, the UN said that COVID is the world's greatest health threat. And while those of us in the US have seen things improve, many parts of the world are still suffering greatly. And what's more, variants are gradually emerging that remind us of COVID's longer term effects. People have been talking about the delta variant of COVID-19 for a while now. But we're starting to hear about another variant (lambda) that first emerged in Peru.

For anyone who's better versed in virus mutations, etc., I'd like to know what you think our greatest health challenges will be in the future regarding COVID. Will the vaccinations currently being utilized work for future variants? Will COVID be a new flu, with new variants appearing each season? What impact will all of this have on nations that don't have the money or healthcare system that the US and parts of Europe have? What innovative and novel solutions to these issues are on the horizon?
