Coronavirus: How scared should we be of a 'second wave'?
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has warned there are signs of a"second wave" of coronavirus cases in Europe, but what's the evidence for that?
Some countries, such as South Korea and Singapore, have been better than others at flattening it from the start by stopping the virus spreading by using comprehensive testing and tracing regimes. Thanks to investment, they are in a much stronger position now and have been able to release lockdown, while still trying to suppress the virus wave through testing and tracing.But rather than this being a second wave - or the start of one - perhaps we are better off thinking of these as the existing wave bursting through the defences.
Containing the virus relies on good systems for detecting cases and for the public to play its part by social distancing, and engaging with the test and trace systems.
