That means there will probably be no second wave, unless of course the virus mutates, in which case anything could happen.
This would explain why other countries that locked down earlier have a second wave now - it is attacking those now who would have got it had it not been for the lockdown.
On your second point about social distancing, etc, isn't that what we are doing now?

Could you provide a link to these calculations, please?
