I see little evidence to suggest any "second wave" phenomenon.  This virus is not seasonal, apparently.  It is possible that our winter habits could enable more contagion, but that is not a given.

We could struggle to differentiate between a cold, the flu, and Corona come winter.

I don't see any evidence to do more than suggest it's seasonal.  It may be, it may not be.  It didn't seem to die back in summer, as flu and colds are wont to do.

When it hit, Australia and Brazil were in March, equivalent to our September.  I don't see much evidence for seasonality based on their experience to date.  When it hits, it hits, it seems, area under the curve.

I personally would consider not an upsurge in the winter as a second wave, it would just be a seasonal increase, if it occurs.  

The 1918 flu had a distinct and obvious second, and third wave clearly evident.  And yes, this could be seasonal, as noted.

The rise down there paralleled the rise in the US and other places in the summer.  Once it hits, it fits.

You can shut down and delay the rate, some, but area under the curve looks to end up in the same place over time, the mask wearing appears to be a powerful variable in that.

This! in the last 2 weeks an old friend passed away he had double pneumonia.Back in 2008 he had blood clots on his lungs removed.And was in ICU for a week at the time.Unfortunately my friend was a little stubborn and didn't take the Meds prescribed and put off the Hospital visit and the situation deteriorated.His son drove back from N.Jersey and took him in and he rebounded then passed.The wake & mass was Friday.Not sure about COVID or not

  I get back from a walleye frye on saturday and Cindy finds out her best friend was in the ICU on the other side of town with double pnuemonia.She was in 2 1/2 weeks and was released saturday.No covid though - just don't know sometimes

Imagine it's December and you feel a sore throat coming on, usually the harbinger of a cold.  But wait, maybe it's COVID?  Or Flu?  Or dreaded lurgy?  Or sickness caused by lack of football?

On the plus side, a boatload more people will get tested and the positive rate will drop like a rock.
