But it will get worse, for sure.
Yup, the 2nd wave will be worse, especially if its over christmas and they havent got the vacines out there yet. FWIW ive been told by a chemist that over 65s are fine as swine flu is almost identicle to a flu which hit in the 60s meaning most of the over 65s have built up some immunity to it allready. They do need to get a move on with getting the rest of us the jab but i reckon most people will still just get the mild form and thats it.
