The public health guys I worked with during the 2009 pandemic used to talk about a second wave a lot but I gather that a growing number of epidemiologists don't think that a second wave is inevitable in all cases. No idea if this particular virus is deemed a high risk for a second wave but thought it was interesting that the 2nd wave theory is apparently less universally accepted than before in general pandemic planning terms.

Surely it would depend a lot on 1) what the 'first wave' is like and 2) what restrictions on the public are put in place and how they are relaxed exactly?

From what I've read almost every pandemic has had a second wave so I guess it's very likely that this one will too
