Is anyone concerned that the protests will send the numbers up again ?

No different than the BBQ's and pool parties, and other social events that I've seen start up again in my neighborhood.

I don't think we are going to see a second wave. Some experts are now saying the virus is beginning to weaken.

Ugh on that magnitude? I doubt it. Remember when the Spring breakers spread it

Besides a couple of orders of magnitude increase in the total number of people in contact. I suspect that outdoor events in general are a lot less problematic than indoor ones.

If the reports on Vitamin D are true, it's possible being outdoors in daytime may even have a net benefit for those who would otherwise stay cloistered behind glass windows.

Was probably a stretch to compare a BBQ to a large protest, but just an observation that more and more people are getting out and socializing.

I may be guilty of some of that myself, while being smart about it.

The Second Wave has at no point been an actual scientific foregone conclusion by any means. This is at least up to now looking more and more like an improbability. It has for a long time actually.

This could be the best news I've heard, if really true. My spouse lives in deathly fear of the second wave (yeah, I know).

The experts are saying the 2nd wave will be bad enough for schools to be cancelled in the fall, but the models show it should be over by November 3rd.

That is good news, but only 1 dr is making that claim right now. Fingers crossed that we can move on past this soon.


It does make sense that a weaker version would emerge as the most common over time. A weaker virus doesn't incapacitate it's host and allows them to still continue to actively pass the virus on to others. Eventually the numbers of the "weaker" strain surpass the more deadly strain because it's tough to pass on that strain when the host is on their deathbed.
