The number of Covid 19 cases in the United Kingdom fell gradually from March to July, reaching its lowest at around 200-250, nonetheless cases has risen steadily (somewhat linear fashion) to 3000 from July to September and might continue to increase further, thus raising questions of a possible second wave.
There is likelihood of another surge of COVID-19 cases in United Kingdom and other European countries during the coming Winter season.
Agreed! Covid19 + flu season might actually be an even greater challenge compared to Covid 19 alone
Yes there is second wave. Read a paper a few days back that covid19 may be having upto 4 waves before it helps in herd immunity.
Michael, thanks for your pertinent question. The fact that the UK is currently under a second lockdown seems to be suggestive of the answer 'yes'. I hope this one is shorter and that appropriate mechanisms for bringing the transmission rate down are implemented with greater efficacy. Interesting discussion here...
