If not whenI have a friend who`s a receptionist in a doctors surgery. They have been going through the changes for when the 2nd wave comes. Also a friends wife who works as a head funeral bearer has been telling me of the mass graves being dug for the 2nd wave.

What a dreadful mistake. 20% to 55% more cases and deaths than necessary.WHO updates facemask guidelines
The World Health Organization (WHO) has updated its guidance on facemasks today to recommend that governments ask everyone to wear fabric face masks in public areas where there is a risk of transmission.
In its new guidance, prompted by evidence from studies conducted in recent weeks, the WHO stressed that face masks were only one of a range of tools that can reduce the risk of viral transmission, and should not give a false sense of protection.
"We are advising governments to encourage that the general public wear a mask. And we specify a fabric mask - that is, a non-medical mask," the WHO's technical lead expert on COVID-19, Maria Van Kerkhove, told Reuters in an interview.
"We have new research findings," she added. "We have evidence now that if this is done properly it can provide a barrier ... for potentially infectious droplets."
