Coronavirus: Is this the second wave? | COVID-19 Special

After falling, COVID -19 cases are spiking again in some regions and the fears of a second wave are real. The list of authorities around the world re-imposing coronavirus-linked lockdowns is growing. California has banned going to bars and eating inside at restaurants. South African authorities have reimposed a curfew and an alcohol ban. Israel managed the first wave well, but just a few weeks later the country is struggling with a new coronavirus outbreak. With no vaccine, millions across the world face similar prospects if COVID-19 cases continue to grow.

Literally EVERY OTHER COUNTRY: *wears masks and takes temperatures*

America: LET'S HAVE A CORONAVIRUS

[thienphucn]

There is no second wave. The first wave never ended

[skatemetal]

The first wave would have to end for a second wave to start

[alwaysyouramanda]

I just wanna know why they close the schools at 1, 000 cases and open them at 100, 000.

[zymurgea]

No, we are still on the first wave. There was never really a 'flattening of the curve'.

[Rckstrroma]

This isn’t the second wave
This is only the beginning

[__Wanderer]

So people going into a cafe all have to use the same pen? Amazing way to spread the virus to everyone!

[wendystwitter]

it’s not a second wave, people just got distracted

[ggzzcc]

Perfect, we still have no idea what's going on.

Strange that you talk Israel's second wave and not Luxembourg's, when the latter borders your country.

[brettvinck]

It's to late for America, so much for being the leading Country in in the world. TOOLS.

[ryugo]

It’s the second part of the first wave

[Leffe]

Mean while in sweden, everything is fine. Pubs and public transport are full, fewer people in the icu and no masks. Sure the deathtoll was a bit high, like 3 influenzas in a year. Dont get me wrong, its serious but the media petray it as the end of the world

[samuraisorrow]

2 wave will be mixed in the normal flu season

[WA_S_S_AW]

I it’s still the first wave in the United States.

[musclesmouse]

Reopening means more infections eventually.

[MrTibFighter]

I really enjoy this doctor's takes. Thanks for sharing, DW!

The world is still in the first wave. Reopening while community transmission is still highly active is a big mistake.
