I think if you look at the timeline between spikes and gradual decline, it is 4 to 6 months worldwide. The US is a very large Country, it is going to take a bit to go through. My opinion, follow common sense, social distance and wear a mask when you go out and you should be ok. I would avoid crowded large scale type bars and close quarter athletic events (NFL, MLB) and unfortunately rock concerts in large areas.
Additionally when this all started a general timeline showed a peak in June, so the spiking may be just that in some areas. Regarding a 2nd wave, who knows, it makes a great headline, but I am not sure there is a ton of concrete science behind it as there is not a ton of concrete science behind COVID in general. Again, this is going to have to run its course until there is Herd Immunity, Vaccine, Both , etc and people are going to have to make their own judgements as they move through it.
That said, personally, I have no issue with going to a beach and sitting by ourselves, we have always done that, so no different. We go about our business with family, no issue. I am not in a hot zone, so not as much pressure as being in say _ NYC. I will probably not visit NYC for the foreseeable future sadly.
Common sense goes a long way in fighting this virus. Panic attitude nor brazen attitude does much good either way.
