I think it's based on A) How other coronaviruses operate and B) The last major pandemic in 1918, in which everything looked golden by August but then the Spanish Flu came back with a vengeance that fall.
It's an educated guess. It's the best guess we have at the moment, but probably not better than how accurate NFL GMs are at picking franchise quarterbacks.

Other countries have already shown us a 2nd wave of this is likely. Much better of a guess than GMs picking qbs

Do you think we should have football back?

this "wave" talk is a marketing ploy
the reason there will be more "waves" is because the virus is here and it spreads insanely well (due to its latency and large # of asymptomatic infections primarily). more importantly, WE AREN'T INFECTING ENOUGH PEOPLE NOW. we have a good hold on the virus now (as opposed to Feb/March b/c China is a-hole), and our primary concern isn't spread; it's hospital care capacity (which was the level we wanted to flatten the curve below)
so we "crush the curve" and create major inefficiencies while the underlying problem remains. every time we re-open things, cases are going to surge. just like South Korea (the golden standard) is facing now. the only way to really combat the virus is either a vaccine (which is realistically 2-3 years away) or large scale community spread that creates a large enough herd immunity to prevent acute issues.

South Korea
Japan
Italy
Spain

It’s not the second wave we need to worry about, it’s the third wave.

Each subsequent wave will only prove that ever opening up again is futile. Spectator sports are dead.

I don't think there has been a successful vaccine developed for any coronavirus. No vaccine for SARS currently.

You don't kill a virus. You just make it less effective.
