**“There Is No ‘Second Wave’”
by Jim Rickards

“Stocks were up today, at least partially because President Trump’s senior economic adviser, Larry Kudlow, has said there won’t be another lockdown. Whether the original lockdown was the proper response to the pandemic is still up for debate. Different countries had different responses, with various outcomes. But parts of the U.S. are currently seeing surges in new infections after states have reopened their economies. Over 31,000 new COVID-19 cases were reported on Monday, led by states like California, Arizona and Texas. Cases are increasing by 5% in 26 states. For some, the rate is higher.

Some people are talking about a second wave. But it’s important to understand that what we’re seeing is not a real second wave. It’s more**

And the fact is the great majority of people who contract the virus will survive. That’s the good news. But here’s the bad news: The second wave of the virus could come after a gap of about six months (so, from June–December 2020), resulting from a mutation or recombination of RNA/DNA that is practically like a new virus. And it could be much more lethal. The second wave of the Spanish flu, for example (October 1918), was far more deadly than the first wave (March 1918).

A second wave is not guaranteed to happen, although there is real cause for concern based on past pandemics. Let’s pray it doesn’t happen.”
