Yes there will be a second wave as we come out and back into society. This virus will be around until it burns its way through the earth’s population. The 1918 pandemic lasted 2 years.See: CDC chief issues stark warning on possible second wave and more lockdowns as global cases top 5 million

”As the world reached 5 million confirmed coronavirus cases Thursday, the director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said he can’t guarantee whether a second round of lockdowns is coming as a possible second wave of the virus looms.”
So, instead of offering a common sense and logical approach to a possible second wave ___ protecting those most susceptible to the deadly effects of the virus, namely the elderly, and more specifically those with underlying medical conditions, which account for the vast majority of deaths due to the virus, and allowing the rest of our population to go about its business ___ the evil doers at the CDC promote a remedy which knowingly will cause more harm to the American people and its vital economic base.
Is it not obvious by now we have a Fifth Column movement in the United States whose mission is to weaken and destroy America’s economic base, and make its population totally dependent upon government for its economic needs?

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. ___ Benjamin Franklin, 1755
As far as fear mongering, there are going to be people with agendas taking advantage of the situation. They are going to try to keep us dependent on the government.
What we have to remember when we hear too much BS is the common sense thing to do has already been done. We’ve flattened the curve, shifted our industry into making the medical supplies that we didn’t have and needed, started work on treatments and vaccines, put necessary precautions into place for the general health of the public and now we are going back into the world hopefully a little better prepared. We have to be careful but we also have to get on with life. Let the second and possibly third wave come because it’s not ending any time soon.
In mid-March we were led to believe that the death rate from COVID-19 would reach 2.2 million. See: COVID-19 predicted to infect 81% of U.S. population, cause 2.2 million deaths in U.S.
The fear and hysteria caused by this projection led to an illogical and irrational lockdown of the United States economy, which in itself created countless and untold deaths and destruction in addition to the virus itself.
And now we find out The CDC's New 'Best Estimate' Implies a COVID-19 Infection Fatality Rate Below 0.3%
"That rate is much lower than the numbers used in the horrifying projections that shaped the government response to the epidemic."
What is astounding to know is in 1918, “Generally speaking, the fatality rate for the Spanish flu is calculated at about 2%” LINK far worse than today’s COVID-19 which is below 0.3%
So why are our Blue State Communist/Socialist leaders so bent on not fully opening their state economies? Seems to me they are causing more incidental deaths [suicides, drug overdoses, missed medical procedures and cancer mammograms, etc.], which are in addition to deaths caused by COVID-19. Why do these communist/socialist leaders continue to create fear and hysteria in their states?
