Without proper testing and contact tracing any significant easing of lockdown restrictions will see a second spike in cases:

Judging by behaviour over the weekend, some people seem to have given up on the idea if social distancing full stop. I don't think that goes for the majority of the population at this point, it's more than possible to take more exercise without being daft about it. |  |

We went for a stroll in the park yesterday, lots of groups sat together not respecting social distancing. Generally loads more cars and people about. The second spike will be here in weeks at this rate. The handling has been shambolic. We locked down too late and eased too soon. |  |

And the vaccine definitely to be produced - in the UK - by September. Then again we have a government that can't think ahead more than one news cycle.
Something that should really concern people for the end of the Brexit transition period in December. | |

Locked down too late - fact
Eased too soon- no evidence yet so just an opinion. |  |

It's the easing without contract tracing and testing that is the problem. The South Korean case last week showed both how cases will still exist even in a country that has done much better to manage this than the UK but also how good the SK contact tracing is at identifying those at risk. We're winging that bit at the moment. | |

I'm not sure we're even winging it. We just aren't really doing it. I think they've plumped for a handbrake on, handbrake off strategy and to hope for the best. There's no sense of being proactive in finding a way to manage it. | |

The problem is more the disintegration of any pretense that the government knows what it is doing.
To bandy a mythical 'R' number around which didn't really apply to anywhere and alienated Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland... not to mention the mighty mayors of the grim north..... all of whom are rightly concerned that what might apply in the London bubble doesn't really apply to them.
This still remains essentially a deadly problem for the elderly with underlying health conditions and diabetics - so it is understandable that a few million people going bust or impoverished might want to earn some money again.
When all is done and dusted the role of craven hospitals cruelly emptying themselves of patients in preparation for a tsunami which never happened, many of whom had caught the virus in hospitals will kill far more people than any 'second spike' - which will in fact be the tens of thousands of people dying because they have been denied hospital care or have believed the PR and are avoiding hospitals like the plague... that 'second spike' will last for decades. |  |
