Here's some related information. While school returns are not the primary point of the article, it will nevertheless form the priority of subsequent Queen's Park discussions by the various parties.
It would seem the numbers rising to 200 and remaining there for a few days are being taken as an indicator that "perhaps" the "second wave" is beginning earlier than anticipated.
Second/third wave are inevitable. This is a virus that is not going away.

Any thoughts on why the 1918 pandemic went away?
The pattern with the 1918 pandemic and the 1968-69 Hong Kong Flu was twofold: 1) weakening and reoccurring as seasonal influenza episodes; and 2) herd immunity, popularly called "virus burning itself out."
In other words strictly speaking the viruses didn't "go away." It transformed itself into something annoying but not disastrous. So Botev1912 is partially though not 100% right.

They have been saying that it appears as though Covid 19 has become less deadly although I don't think all the facts are in yet about that.

Even though we don't have figures our eyes don't lie. In New York we had carnage in very late March through mid-April. We are not hearing anything like that now in Florida, Arizona and Texas.
A lot of young people have become the new Covid-19 recipients the past few months. Back in March and April, nursing homes in New York and Boston (as well as Toronto and Montreal to a lesser extent) were hit hard by the virus. This resulted in the deaths of many elderly patients. I am not convinced that the virus has necessarily become less deadly however. There remains much to be seen with the new season change and colder days ahead.

I know of 2 people in my immediate area who have died of Covid, which seems remarkably high when you consider where I am in rural Manitoba. One was in his fifties with no known health issues, the other was someone who was over 80 with health issues. They weren't related to each other.
