It’s no coincidence that testing has broken when the schools have gone back - many children/young adults in close proximity with minimal distancing. Colleges and universities present the same risk.
Mass commuting crammed like cattle onto public transport and 40 hours a week in air conditioned offices all add the greatest opportunities for the virus to spread other than in your own home. Millions of close human contacts every day exchanging germs. A day out at the beach or a Saturday night on the tiles (in particular aggregated over the whole population as many will opt out) bears no comparison to commuting 10 times a week.
It does, at face value, appear treatments are helping and yes mitigations in place are helping just now, and have kept figures low over the summer. Removing these mitigations, however, ends one way.

No I'm not, so you're saying that all those people crammed on beaches doesn't have an effect on the spread of the virus? Outdoors does lessen the effect of the spread, I will agree on that, but when you have so many people close together like that i'd say you are still at significant risk, It's you who is trying to justify your outrageous claim that hundreds of thousands of people will die, so tell me this, why haven't hundreds and thousands of people died in the last six months?
Let's just see if all those being infected at the moment start filling up the hospitals and dying, I think not in my opinion.
