(A) Second wavers that show a "almost down to zero then heading back up to previous peak" chart:
Israel
Serbia
Here are people in Serbia protesting for their democratic right to catch a deadly virus:

(D) Big first wavers with no sign of second waving
Italy
Obviously (D) is what England and Scotland should be hoping for, but it's still not clear why it should be the case...
Masks are still mandatory while out in the open in Lombardy, at least until Wednesday. (Running at about 100 cases per day, about half of Italy's total.)
They will remain mandatory while in shops etc.
Last I heard
Johnson was thinking about at looking at considering whether to say something about implementing a similar policy, several months late like all his other "decisions".* (Around here people started wearing masks even before it became a rule.)
Even Trump has started wearing one, having previously said "I just don't see it." Maybe he was wearing it over the wrong bit of his face.
It's possible to go out for dinner or drinks in the evening as long as you can sit outside, and the weather here is currently perfect for that.
There's still time for a second wave to get going.
* - ETA to put "decisions" in quotes; he'll probably tell people they
should wear masks while neither making them available nor implementing any penalty for not doing so.
The UK's plan to avoid a second wave is
to fix the country's obesity problem in the next few months or alternatively, Brexit-induced food shortages and starvation are now a feature not a bug.
