Difficult; trying to figure out if the second wave is simply what the virus does, naturally, or if the huge rise in rates of infection is due to the premature lifting of restrictions is a bit of a headache. Right now it appears that there are 50 different 'strategies' for dealing with it and no unified national directive.We in the US have been cautioned to expect a possible 'second wave' of the Covid-19 disease in the autumn as people congregate indoors. The past two days' reports of new cases, coupled with the past several days' numbers of reported deaths, may be the first indications of what is to come. As with many trends hidden in 'noisy' data, this one may take time to prove out. It may also be little more than a quirk in the data. The next week should decide.
Regards, stay safe 'n well. Remember the Big 3: masks, hand washing and physical distancing.

Impossible. President Trump says the pandemic is already over.
Well, if Biden wins and it doesn’t happen, there are going to be a lot of disappointed people when they find out their job has gone due to a gutted workforce and 12 - 18 million naturalized, hungry immigrants begging for work at any wage.We in the US have been cautioned to expect a possible 'second wave' of the Covid-19 disease in the autumn as people congregate indoors.

Work at any wage, a pipe dream for right to work states.Well, if Biden wins and it doesn’t happen, there are going to be a lot of disappointed people when they find out their job has gone due to a gutted workforce and 12 - 18 million naturalized, hungry immigrants begging for work at any wage.
According to some esteemed hoaxioneers (like that?Yep. Who knew that by ignoring the news, COVID 19 statistics, and pretending everyone who is sick with COVID 19 just has the common cold the pandemic would just disappear?
Huh? the white house announced covid is cured, trump [sic] took care of it.
Well then, too bad for the people willing to believe the white house.Hi!
The present 'White House' announces many things. Some are true. Some are not.
Regards, stay save 'n well. Remember the Big 3: masks, hand washing and physical distancing.
Methinks it's because the people in your country have worn masks since the getgo and they were sold a bill of goods that masks work.Difficult; trying to figure out if the second wave is simply what the virus does, naturally, or if the huge rise in rates of infection is due to the premature lifting of restrictions is a bit of a headache.

Sweden is seeing a spike in cases. Why do you continue to cite Sweden as some miracle in defeating Covid? We wear masks because, unlike some stupid Americans, we know they work in mitigating the transmission of the virus. But keep playing your dumb game which nobody else wants to play. You're on your own.Methinks it's because the people in your country have worn masks since the getgo and they were sold a bill of goods that masks work.
Oh WAIT! they DO work.........to make people get sick from it thinking that masks "work" so they go into stores and other places where COVID is floating all over their heads and going right through their worthless masks that do NOT stop the smaller AIRBORNE water droplets that SCIENCE shows goes right through even surgical masks. IF Europe had been more like Sweden, Belarus and Manaus, they'd be far better off right now. Sadly, it's masks forever now in Europe, like Japan.
Just like the flu season.Sweden is seeing a spike in cases. Why do you continue to cite Sweden as some miracle in defeating Covid?

There's a vaccine against flu. If people choose not to take advantage of it and get sick, whose fault is that but their own?Just like the flu season.
I know. You can't fix stupid.
WOW!!! I gotta say......that is by far, the BEST article I have ever seen written on masks, even if I am biased because it confirms everything I have been trying to teach these people here for months now. I have bookmarked it and will use it for future comments to the crowd of mask freaks here. Basically, it says that COVID is carried on smaller air droplets that are suspended in the air and that masks cannot stop them. No mask (that you can breathe in) stops particles that small. In any event, the article should be read by all. Thanks for finding it and posting it. I also have to look up that author when I have time.
Yep, a vaccine that is less than 50% effective. I have NEVER, EVER had a flu shot.There's a vaccine against flu. If people choose not to take advantage of it and get sick, whose fault is that but their own?
Good for you. 50% is a lot better than 0%, correct?Yep, a vaccine that is less than 50% effective. I have NEVER, EVER had a flu shot.
My mom nearly died from a flu shot.Good for you. 50% is a lot better than 0%, correct?
So she lived.My mom nearly died from a flu shot.
