Coronavirus it's not gone away

For the same reason if we locked down earlier we would have had less deaths.

If you have 1000 people let loose with the virus, they will infect more people than 100 people would. This is also going to coincide with vulnerable people going back to work.

*numbers were an example.

I agree locking down earlier would have saved thousands, but back then no one was paying it any attention and mass gatherings were still being allowed, as well as air travel with no precautions.

I'm not saying there couldn't be a second wave (although I've heard some scientists say it isn't likely and is a myth based on Spanish Flu), but even if there was, with all the new measures, I don't see how it could be 'bigger'.

Yeah, where were the 300 deaths in 2 days?

281 recorded in last two days according to government stats

Interestingly the question has been asked twice on this thread - just demonstrates how ‘normal’ this has become. Once over we’d have been getting lots of noise about these people dying

I didnt mean bigger as in bigger than the outbreak, just bigger as in larger than it could have been if we opened up later.

Obviously hypothetical at this point.

For me it is when people misunderstand the reporting process and say that there have been 300 deaths in the last two day when the 7-day average has been below 100 for over a week now.

Would it be impossible to give geographical details of where deaths occur?

Infections, deaths?

You are aware that there may be an increase in infections but if the death rate keeps falling then that does not mean a second wave.

So it isn't a 2nd wave just if infections increase, people have to die for it to be classed as a 2nd wave?

Oh ok. Well I guess its possible yes but we are better positioned to take short-term precautions now. Back in March I was screaming for earlier lockdown but I think now we have to accept a mindful approach towards 'some' normality in life.
 
atypical_boro said:
Well sort of yes, because if less people died from it we could take from that that the virus is weakening/or immunity is building.

if infections are on the up in the population, that would suggest a 2nd wave, regardless of whether the virus is weakening of immunity is building. To say there isn't a 2nd wave because deaths are not also on the increase is the sort of nonsense this govt will push out as a message in order to force the return of normality as quickly as possible rather than as quickly as is safe

Well fine, but if the second wave isn't killing anyone it wouldn't necessarily be something we'd have to go back into living under house arrest for.

So according to that logic the common cold has 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th waves every year?

But that's not what the MSM are pushing. They are talking about a second wave as being as deadly as the first and it doesn't help.

That’s the MSM pushing it. I agree it doesn’t help because people will think we aren’t in a second wave.

Although less deadly people will come complacent and unknowingly pass it on to people who could still be at risk to a less deadly virus
