Where’s The Predicted Second Outbreak Of Covid-19?

Three weeks ago, there were huge protests in London about the death in America of George Floyd. Thousands of people gathered together to protest.

There were cries of... ‘These protests with people not practising social distancing will cause a second outbreak of Covid-19’.

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 could be wrong but I think the Death figure and the new cases figures have both risen over the last 2 or 3 days ... signs of the second waves imminent arrival.

Not just in the UK ... but Germany and other EU countries too.

Morti, Tell me, how many people do you know that have died of Covid-19?

I know of one that l know and one other that l don’t know.

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?

Re: Where’s The Predicted Second Outbreak Of Covid-19?

Probably because when you think about it the actual death figures are a very very small percentage of the population.

I suppose a fan of lockdown will say that's why it's so small. Lockdown worked.
Wasn't Boris warned that he could be looking at death totalling 250,000 if he didn't?

In March, it was forecast that 2.2 million would die of Covid-19. So l suppose, the U.K. has done well really.

I think they said it could take 10 days for symptoms to appear.
Perhaps those people breaking the rules are getting mild symptoms, only carriers or too embarrassed to go to the doctor

That is very probably so. Give it another week or so & there will be more very ill.
