Flaw with the ‘second wave’ theory

Given the coronavirus’s similarities to the flu, many people have assumed the disease will be seasonal – that it will fade or even disappear in the summer months and come back with a vengeance in winter.

“It is tempting to speculate that COVID-19 will decline or disappear during the summer, only to reappear gets colder. But we don’t know if COVID-19 is a seasonal virus.”Social distancing and strict hygiene measures are needed to help stop the virus spreading. Picture: iStock.Dr Rossman’s argument is that thinking of the coronavirus as a seasonal disease could lead us to assume it is beyond our control, and will return no matter what we do.

This message is particularly relevant in Dr Rossman’s native Britain, where lockdown rules have been relaxed in recent weeks and talk has turned to dealing with a second wave – even though the first wave isn’t even over. Britain is still recording more than a thousand new cases per day. Here in Australia, the numbers are far better, but community transmission remains a threat.multiple Black Lives Matter protesters had tested positive

“A second wave is where we see large numbers increasing and where we couldn’t quickly contain those outbreaks or those small clusters,” the federal government’s Chief Nursing and Midwifery Officer, Alison McMillan, told“Now, we’re nowhere near that at the moment, but that’s because of the terrific work that everyone continues to do and we need to keep doing that.

Many of the new cases have been linked to the city’s Xinfadi wholesale market. Authorities have been testing market workers, anyone who visited it in the last two weeks, and anyone else who came into contact with either group.A lockdown has been imposed on residential communities around the market, and officials are barring residents of areas considered high risk from leaving Beijing. Anyone from such areas who has already left must report to local health bureaus as soon as possible.

Unfortunately what you see when going to supermarket and the general sentiment suggests people think there is no problem.

The way the government is desperately trying to re open the economy it’s like they want to bring on the second wave.

Following many weeks of the magic 8 ball informing the WAVE TWWWOOOOOOO is incoming

If a second wave starts, We start new BLMprotest and it is all fine. protests are as good as vaccine says WHO Let’s dethrone Trump

I getting extra toilet paper tomorrow

Let's hope the second wave is a myth. Given our weariness, boredom and general complacency, combined with the disillusionment caused by the couldn't give shit attitude of protesters, we won't know how to cope with a second wave.

Well if a second wave does come we’ll just start protesting and it will magically vanish again.
