Why aren’t the skies blackened with smoke from the crematoriums?
Why haven’t the roads come to a standstill with all the hearses taking the thousands to the crematorium?
A neighbour died back in march. A friend's dad too around the same time. Both were in care homes. The daughter of a friend contracted covid and has been sick for months now. All sorts of debilitating symptoms. She's 25. A friend had it back in march then it came back in his hands six weeks later. First a rash then they went black. Luckily he recovered. Hes my age.

I am hearing people with that awful coughing again in the last week or so. It stopped a few weeks into lockdown. So it's definitely out there but as Chris whitty said you have an almost zero chance of catching it outdoors. That's why they expect the 2nd wave in the autumn. However if people take precautions there should be nothing like earlier this year.

... so if there’s been no cases from the London Protests....Why will the Bournemouth masses start a second outbreak? What’s different?

I dunno, at best, none key workers have had a mega 80% paid break, with glorious weather (but Questionable long term employment prospects), at worst, the moronic socialising behaviour has incubated the disease for a resurgence, at some point.

Three weeks on.... where’s the second outbreak?

This week, Bournemouth beaches are packed to the gunnels with no social distancing in sight.

Is the the second outbreak of Covid-19 imminent or are people being too pessimistic?

I don't think you can get the second wave until the first wave has been contained so it is very early days yet.

How do we know that for sure.

It could happen anywhere, any time.

I agree, I'd be very surprised if there weren't any more affected people, but if there are none then we are getting better.

I think in the beginning they said sunshine and heat killed the virus. Perhaps that will potect the beach goers a bit. We'll see soon.

Perhaps those people breaking the rules are getting mild symptoms, only carriers or too embarrassed to go to the doctor
NO ONE ought to be going to the doctor !
Been told that over and over .
NO ONE even with mild symptoms they think fits being infected ought to be outside their home,
