> The weird thing is, that after reopening many thing/services in many places, there were very rarely any new spikes in new cases. We've all been expecting a spike after every measure being removed, and it hasn't happened in most countries I think at least part of the people keep distancing to some degree, and even if that does not prevent a new spike or outbreak completely, it slows it spread. That's another critical difference to the Spanish Flu: Spread is much much slower. With the flu, most people become ill and infectious within one day. If that were a dangerous flu pandemic, the world would have had less than two weeks to shut down most cities.
