How will a second wave be prevented?

[EazyDuz]

At present, lockdown exists to reduce the spread of the virus and flatten the curve to ensure the NHS can cope with the numbers.

Well, as soon as lockdown is lifted, pubs, bars, parks, restaurants, gyms etc all open back up, ALL those people who stuck to lockdown religiously and have not yet had the virus will be at a huge risk.
Imagine an infected person walking into a completely rammed pub (because everyone is going to be out since they can finally enjoy their freedom), the spread will be huge.

I don't understand how a second wave can be prevented until a vaccine is widely available. I think herd immunity would have made more sense, and prevented the collapse of the economy at the same time.

Oh and also, don't forget that it's likely that only about 7 million people have been infected in the UK so far. For herd immunity to happen we need a) a lasting immunity, not yet confirmed, and b) a much higher percentage infected. Think about the consequences of that.

4% of the world's population, 25% of the number of globally registered deaths and today I saw four old scroats in the communal swimming pool at the trailer park where I was working today. Preventing a second wave, not happening in the land of the stupid...

A second wave can't be avoided.

When lockdown is relaxed, the virus will start spreading again.

Winter is coming.

Well at least pneumonia deaths are down. How strange.

Forget vaccines though. This particular coronavirus has mutated oddly, in that it has a acquired a section of genes that are entirely absent from the Sars genome, (but bear resemblance to those found in HIV and Ebola, how strange), encoded to target the receptor protein furin in human cells, and not the much rarer ACE2 receptor protein that Sars attaches to. This equates to a massive gain of function in contagion and resistance to vaccine.
To quote Dr. Shi Zhengli, who is researching the generation of chimeric virus' expressing the spike of bat coronavirus SHC014 in a mouse-adapted SARS -CoV backbone, using the SARS-CoV reverse genetics system2, in the countries only BSL 4 lab, the Key Labarotory of Special Pathogens and Biosafety, in Wuhan. (pure coincidence).
"Both monoclonal antibody and vaccine approaches failed to neutralise and protect from Cov's using the novel spike protein".
Of course this won't prevent mr. Gates and his allies in the ID 2020 alliance and elsewhere attempting to make billions whilst microchipping the planet, under the pretext of prevention.

The numbers who have been exposed will vary from place to place and some areas will already be at a point where enough have had it to help keep it subdued.

There is increasing evidence to support the idea it was already circulating at Christmas or before perhaps in a milder form or largely among more fit and active groups who barely noticed.

Most things we thought we knew about it have needed revising, and the extreme death rates which scared the pants of governments back in March haven't materialised.

It's unlikely there will be a sudden new flare up as the more vulnerable will continue distancing so far as possible and certainly won't be going to crowded pubs even if they were open.

The second wave concerns me less than the end of lockdown.

We (people) , the Government, authorities have coping strategies should they be needed.

It’s the selfish and self-centred ignorant large minority that concern me.

What I mean is how many twats and wankers will be going straight to the first pub that opens and getting wankered and starting fights.
How many ignorant tossers will think that now lockdown is being eased that social distancing does not apply to themselves.

I know we need to slowly get back to some form of normality.

It saddens me but I don’t think most people will care to much once the Government starts lifting restrictions, and this will lead to a second wave of infections.
If the Government had already lifted restrictions by then, they will have a Devil’s own job try to impose restrictions a second time.

My biggest gripe about the whole thing is the sheer amount of 'lockdown shamers' who flock to social media with photos of someone buying beer or paint and crying that its not essential, or more often, moaning that their neighbour is going out more than once a day.
It's like Nazi germany except instead of ratting out the Jews they're ratting out their neighbours.
