    I assume you're asking so you can deliberately avoid it?

      Are there any predictions to the potential number of infections if 2nd wave was to happen?

        Potentially - 66.65 mln

          You'd think it's gotta be worse as no one seems to care about socially distancing anymore so it's going to be twice as hard to get them tot akenit seriously.

              Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                I'd suggest about 67.9m.

                Take the current population, subtract the number who are immune and the number who have been vaccinated:
                67,900,000 - 0,000,000 = 67,900,000

                (based on: U.K. Population (2020) - Worldometer )

                It's worth considering that in round 2 the UK will be starting from a position of >250,000 individuals who have already had damage to their respiratory system and are compromised for the next time.

                Looking on the bright side, our excess deaths are close to zero now, so the 63,000 extra that died Feb-June should mean we have a reduction the rest of the year - based on the theories of some on here that all COVID fatalities were about to die anyway.
                …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

                    Pooper is just going to decompose in the Thistle Hotel Heathrow without a death cert, so that counts as living forever.

                      One can live forever if the coroners die first
