About half a dozen U.S. states including Texas and Arizona are grappling with a rising number of coronavirus patients filling hospital beds, fanning concerns that the reopening of the U.S. economy may spark a second wave of infections.

“The chances of a second wave of infections depend on both our ability to prevent infections via adherence to social distancing principles - mask use, avoiding large gatherings, and keeping small gatherings outdoors - and our ability to detect and isolate the infections that do occur quickly with both testing capacity and contact tracing capacity,” said Dr. Marybeth Sexton, a professor and epidemiologist at Emory University.

Health experts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have said that large events such as protests or political rallies could be seeding events for future infections. “Social distancing and various measures that we have been using are very effective - very, very difficult - but we do know it works,” said Barun Mathema, assistant professor of epidemiology at Columbia University.

Democrats being the main factor.

Wait, doesn't the first wave have to end before you can print this story 🤔

We won't have a second wave if the first one never ends

When, exactly, did the first wave end?

If only the first wave never stop, no second wave at all!

This tweet starts with 'Factbox' and then stating something that's not a fact...

We ain’t gon talk about the cases of Ebola in Africa rn?

'Here's Johnnie...' COVID19 TheShining

I know! I know! Pick me! A key factor for a second wave, is that the first wave is actually over?

Second wave? How about first wave in Arizona!

Second peak or a second wave? Still on the first wave.

Oh, it's happening. We're seeing the hair cut protest spikes now, we'll see a larger spike for the blm protests in a couple weeks.

Stop it already, we're not scared any more, just pissed off!

What evidence indicates the 'first wave' ever ended?

Key factor: DON'T take medical advice from a politician. Listen to MEDICAL EXPERTS. You'd think this is common sense but...

There is no second wave of the virus. Stop trying to make it happen. Fetch!

So long as we march, we’re immune. Right?

let's see. It's a virus. So yes, that is the only fact required to know in order to understand that there will, indeed, be a second wave.

Factor number one: Is some asshole intentionally spreading it?

If the government doesn't control it, I'm afraid more people will be infected by the second wave of attacks!I don't think anyone wants to see it!

When did the first wave end?

GIVE IT UP GUYS!! IT'S OVER!! FINISHED!! OLD HAT!! YESTERDAY'S NEWS!!! MOVE ON AND LIBERATE!!! FREEDOM IS THE 'NEW NORMAL'!!!!

when its over medicine its there are finding is complicated🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
