Professor Philip Nolan:

I want to be very careful with the term "second wave" because it gives the public the impression that some overwhelming recurrence of the disease will wash over them in future. What we do know is that throughout Europe there will be renewed outbreaks of the disease of varying size. They could be described as small second waves or they could be described as manageable outbreaks. My view is that throughout Europe, perhaps somewhat randomly, we will see new outbreaks of disease, which we will be required to monitor and make sure that they do not become significant second waves, and which public health colleagues will be required to intervene and control in order that the disease does not spread beyond that manageable outbreak.
