    In the short term? No. Not without a very hard second-wave hit. We are still in the first wave.
    There are more daily new cases now than there were when we went into lockdown.
    There are more daily deaths now than there were when we went into lockdown.

    Look at the daily deaths, daily new cases graphs.
    Week leading up to March 23rd, typical day about 7-800 new cases, 50-60 deaths
    Last week, typical day about 1000 new cases, 150 deaths
