If countries start to open up too early, there could be a risk of unleashing a second wave of infections, according to an epidemiologist at the University of Hong Kong.

As more countries see a spike in imported Covid-19 disease cases, fears of a second wave of infection have kept various authorities on their toes.

"... I think having timelines is going to be very challenging. No country is going to want to open up too early, and then be the first major country to have a big second wave," Ben Cowling, a professor at the School of Public Health at the University of Hong Kong, told CNBC's "Street Signs Asia" on Monday.

Nice try, CNBC. You think for 2 seconds that ANYONE believes this?

And now, back to real News...😴

Stay home. It’s unfortunate that in America we are not all on the same page with following the instructions given to stay protected and protect our families. Anyone surprised?

Remember these words

Very insightful - not sure you need an expert to reach that conclusion

Anyone can say that where's the fact there's the truth where is the data

everyone calling bullshit should read up on the spanish flu. Second wave was deadlier than the first. you all can be first out the door. best of luck

So we hide forever? Sorry, it is what it is. Back to work!

Bullshit

Can't avoid it. The point was to slow the spread so hospitals could be prepared with the equipment needed and not over crowded.

Well if an “expert” said it, it must be true.

maggieNYT Trump needs to look good before the election. So of course it's worth risking American lives to ease restrictions. And let's be honest, Trump insults and degrades journalists better than any president in history. We need four more years of that!

Best post on Twitter I’ve seen yet: “My favorite part of this pandemic is people who live in population density of 25,000 per square mile scolding people who live in a population density of 25 per square mile.”

maggieNYT Hmmm fascinating

maggieNYT trump clearly stated he had no authority to lock down the states.... surely you can get tape of him saying that..... so he clearly should have no authority reopen them. He can’t get it both ways when it suits him and his CEO campaign donors!

Wow. 449 likes. I am one of rare folks that follows CNBC.

maggieNYT We’re done listening to these “experts”

maggieNYT Bullshit!

Duhhhhhh!!!!! Doesn't anyone understand how communicable disease works? Good grief.

maggieNYT duh

DefundTheWHO

“What did your administration realDonaldTrump do in February?”

CRISIS ! 2018 to 2024 .White ANGEL does'nt stop the Great Dragon any more. Empty Tweet ıs not help any more.

2nd wave is not as bad as u can get the virus several times... which i heard is possible... China did this... What are powerfull countries gonna do abou it

Here comes the MockingbirdMedia with their bullshit narrative.

good. we build immunities by being exposed not by hiding. the weak will always die, it is nature. Living in fear is no way to live.

maggieNYT Do it for the DOW

maggieNYT

The virus isn't stopping until it has moved through the population. All we are doing is putting off the inevitable. The main risk lies in destroying the economy. This virus is with us, simple as that. Just as Hep B, C, HIV, herpes. Forget the vaccine BS. Deal with it. People die.

maggieNYT

maggieNYT Countries will have to learn the hard way. That preacher in Virginia learned when he challenged Covid19 and died.

😱 We are all gonna die. Thanks cnbc

maggieNYT There will be a second wave no matter what. Can’t hide forever.

New York Times reporter wants world to rely on so called expert to tell us when we can end lockdown. How can anyone be an expert in this new virus that nobody has any experience working with? Where is analysis of risk vs potential damage if we don’t ease restrictions?

no shit eh? fo real?

maggieNYT Maggie, stop the lies, you are going to hell and so offensively corrupt!!!! You should be ashamed of your career.

Countries risk second wave of coronavirus infections because of draconian restrictions they initial imposed. FIFY

Experts have been wrong every step of the way

Bs

maggieNYT It doesn’t take an expert to arrive at this conclusion.

maggieNYT but what about white dudes who wear punisher shirts?

maggieNYT Hey if any can help me I’m out of work due to the virus & I struggling to keep my place let alone put food on my table if anyone would be okay with helping me out I would very much appreciate anything will help stay safe & god bless Venmo-Alexander-fairbourn CashApp-Alexzander47

maggieNYT They also risk collapsing their economies beyond any immediate repair and making the walking dead a reality outside of zombies.
