I keep saying the pandemic is obviously complicated, and noted last week that the UK drop in COVID cases was a puzzle. There's an article at Nature confirming this is still the case:
Scientists are scratching their heads over the precipitous decline in daily COVID-19 infections in the United Kingdom following their rapid rise earlier in the year. Officially recorded new cases more than halved in just two weeks: from a high of 54,674 on 17 July to 22,287 on 2 August.
“Nobody really knows what’s going on,” says epidemiologist John Edmunds at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM). In particular, it’s not clear whether this sudden trend indicates that the peak of the third wave has passed, or whether it is a blip caused by complex social factors.
And no, this is nothing that obnoxious idiots like Creighton should be taking as anything like vindication.

Its called SUMMER for fucksakes. Now that the original Covid has dropped out of the picture the tests have less cold and flu to pick up in the summer.
