“Then will come a second wave. Warn everyone you can.”
First I think the social distancing and lock downs worked. Can you image what New York would have been like if they did not put social distancing and lock down in place.
I think President Trump has us ready for the second wave. The lock down for the first wave was to buy us time to get the medical system and gear ready.
Manufacturing has started for the medical supplies. Also we have treatments to use. We might even have extra ventilators this fall for other nations, I am sure they will need it.
Note: We have to take care of our own first, we can not help other nations out of a ditch if we are in the ditch with them.
Second wave was worst in the Spanish Flu outbreak. The west coast did not get the same Coronavirus strain as New York.
Also this is looking like a big city issue. In the middle ages people flee to country side to avoid infections.
It has already been document where people had both strains at the same time, and people being re-infected. I think the second wave will be the dangerous strain invading the West coast.
Will the warmer weather slow down the Virus? I think it will slow down the virus outside of buildings, but not inside where you central AC systems blowing it around.
So do you believe infection rates inside buildings that run central AC will not slow down once the weather gets warmer?
You are absolutely right about the central air conditioning systems plus the colder air they produce. As soon as I realized what was happening, I also realized that’s what we had at work, in a huge building that had other companies in it.
At home I just use the windows but one friend of mine has central air conditioning in her apartment building.
The second wave...late fall?
We will definitely be better prepared.
Now we have accurate tests, efficacious meds, hands-on experience, antibody treatment, and lots of respirators.
It won’t be as bad as the first wave, when it was novel.
