well a total lockdown seems to have worked in china's case, but what if someone comes in in about a month carrrying Corona wheres the immunity?
that wave 2 doesn't need to come within a week, or a month.

We'll have to remain in a cautious state until (hopefully) a vaccine is distributed in 14-18 months. I think that will include some drastic measures, to prevent more waves hitting.

The problem is the large portion of people who are not cautious enough.
100 people being cautious can be outdone by 1 careless person.
