I was anticipating an Autumn increase that would affect us. -Tom
a paragraph from the Motley Fool Sept. 2020-
Now here's the bad news: Over in Britain, the government's chief scientific advisor is warning that the U.K. faces a second wave of coronavirus that could see infections rise to 50,000 new cases per day by the middle of next month. The United Kingdom is bracing for a potential second lockdown of its economy, which would firstly deprive cruise lines of British passengers for the foreseeable future, and secondly perhaps foreshadow a renewal of lockdowns in the U.S. as well, depriving cruise lines of all passengers.
That is what happens when you “flatten the curve.” Cases go down for a while and then go back up. The epidemic lasts longer and the total number of cases remains about the same. Compare Sweden with the UK. Sweden’s cases have continued to fall. UK’s cases fell and are now rising back up.
The U.S. has already had it’s second wave, starting immediately after the BLM mass protests and riots. Hopefully, enough protestors and rioters were infected and then infected enough of their friends and family to build up herd immunity for the rest of us.
