There can be multiple waves without the virus itself being seasonal, just due to human behaviour.
In particular, if we close everything down, get infections down to a nice low level, then declare victory and throw away all our masks and precautions, you better bet there'll be a "second wave" that has nothing to do with the weather.

Honestly, thinking about winning against this virus with non pharmaceutical interventions is not sustainable on the long run. We need pharmacological means: drugs and vaccines.
