It can still happen ;)

Austria waited long enough to open things back up, however Austria is trending up again.
May 5th was the lowest 3 day average in reported cases at only 29 new cases a day.
Currently it's back up to a 3 day average of 59 new cases per day.
Small numbers, yet representing a 140% change week over week.

Soon is relative, this shit can go on for years :/

Covid is not a good bet to get rid of your girlfriend, unless she's actually a 80+ obese old guy with diabetes.

59 new cases per day isn't that bad with Mother's Day behind us. Some sort of rebound was expected all along anyway, hence the often cited fear of a second wave.

Mother's day effect isn't in that 3 day average yet, was the average of cases reported on Tuesday to Thursday, effects from mother's day would show up from Thursday through the weekend. But yep, rebound was inevitable if not eliminating community spread first (and keeping the borders closed). South Korea still has slight rebounds as well although they cycle between 3 and 32 cases per day, 0 to 2 deaths per day.

It should be fine for contact tracing as long as you keep it in the teens instead of the hundreds.

I also have someone that needs some Covid loving in the Netherlands. I haven't heard of his demise yet, maybe a second wave can get him.
