Is there a second wave?
« on: May 07, 2020, 04:03:09 PM »
Many states have started reopening over the last couple of weeks as well as most of the European countries including many that were very hard hit. One of the big fears of reopening has been the fear of a second wave. While there may be a slight uptick in cases in some of the places that reopened there has not seemingly been as of yet a "second wave" anywhere.

Being that fear of the "the second wave" is the primary justification that our governors are using not to start reopening I thought it would be very timely to ask,

Is there a second wave happening anywhere?

It takes sometime from the reopening till the new cases come out so i guess we can't know yet if the second wave is happening.

At this point we are two weeks from certain states reopening and the media has went from calling the governers murderers to simply ignoring the fact that there has not been any real difference in cases reopening or lockdown.

I don't think you'll see an immediate spike. Given the 7-14 day incubation period and the time it would take for the spread to regain traction, I don't think you would see large numbers until 1 month after restrictions are lifted. Personally, the date I'm watching is around June 10th. If the US can get through Memorial Day weekend without completely f-ing everything up, I'll have a certain amount of confidence loosening my family's restrictive protocol. I don't have a lot of faith in that happening, though.

How long did it take from purim when it is assumed the major spread happened in our community till total disaster? Less than 2 weeks. The incubation period is 2-14 days probably an average of 5-6 days. If there was going to be this terrible second wave you should be seeing trouble pretty soon.

It is definitely an exaggeration on my part, but kemp was getting a lot of criticism for opening up and the media is ignoring the fact that there really hasn't been any substantial increase.

The problem is I keep seeing it (not you) and wondering where it is coming from.

That comparison is completely irrelevant, but total disaster was about 2 weeks after Purim. People realized it was super serious 3-5 days after. You have to consider that if the major spread was Purim, the virus was in the community at least the week before, which would account for the hospitalizations that woke everyone up the following week.

Purim is irrelevant, though, because it was an absolute worst case scenario. Even in our communities, you don't find another scenario that allows for a spread of that magnitude. Additionally, there are precautions being taken now, with crowd limits, PPE, social distancing awareness, and high-risk people self-isolating. The spread will definitely take longer and be less explosive than what we experienced in March, when virtually no precautions being taken by anyone.

It came from employees of MSM who are employed to take partisan stances and talk in extremes. You consider them talking heads and not journalists. Other people don't make that distinction, because of the logos they represent and who signs their paychecks.

If someone doesn't make a distinction between Maddow/Hannity and the national news they should have a lifetime stay at home order because they are complete idiots!!!

I think you'll find that many people don't make that distinction. Unrelated, I think you'll find that many people are complete idiots, too.

Ironic, since the first (and second, and third. And four hundredth.) time I ever heard the words second wave were on Fox where they were saying “It’s pointless to shut down because whenever we open there will be a second wave!”

Is that no longer politically convenient for that side of the debate?

By the time purim came it was already spreading like wildfire thru our community and we had no idea. There were already hundreds of people infected, but given the incubation period, the fact that most people assumed they just had a cold, and asymptomatic people no one realized it and purim essentially did what would have otherwise taken a few days.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

I think in Lakewood, a bunch of people from other places spread it around on Purim to hundreds of people, and those people spread it to thousands or tens of thousands over the next week with little to no restrictions.

The second wave problem is not just in the reopened areas.  It's from people getting tired of the restrictions and stopping to be vigilant.
Those who know they shouldn't get covid have to remain in self quarantine.  Even though it's a lot like self jail.
