As much as we would just like it to go away, second waves of covid-19 infections are pretty much a certainty at this point.We're already seeing initial proof of this in Asia in the very countries that have to-date been most successful at suppressing the virus: Hong Kong, China and South Korea. Even after extended lulls in cases, they're finding that opening social movement back up results in flare-ups in new covid-19 clusters. It's quite possible that these seconds waves will be followed by third and forth waves, as a growing number of scientists worry that the coronavirus may never go away - as it can hide in asymptomatic carriers and because it mutates so rapidly that a permanent vaccine may not be realistic.
