In reply to the discussion: The 2nd Wave is Coming [View all]Initech
(100,065 posts)37. There's three ways this pandemic could play out.
The first is that there's a long first wave followed by a series of smaller waves.
The second is that it plays out just like the Spanish flu - one long first wave, one long second wave, then a smaller third wave.
The third is a series of slow burns which could last until the next decade.
Judging by the way things are going I would say that the second scenario is most likely. We don't know what this thing is going to do but it seems like we're headed that way.
