Perhaps to be expected as most secondary students are doing a test twice a week. Primary seem fine - probably because they are not tested. Bit of a spike in 35-49yr olds (parents of school kids).Most cases are in schools. But testing is keeping a lid on it with R0 still under 1 (just).
So I refer back to my original point, there was no uptick in pandemic activity until the end of August last year, despite restrictions gradually loosening all summer.
FantasticYesterday's vaccination numbers
First doses: 342,942
Second doses: 234,382
Germany reporting a border lockdown now too.
You ever thought about going outside for ten minutes or so? Don’t think I’ve ever seen you post on a thread other than this.And your original point remains entirely wrong.
Cases (seven day average) bottomed out at 354, July 6th.
They rose over the next two months to 1833 on Sept 6th.
That's a roughly 5 fold increase. I'd say that was a pretty significant uptick!
Testing (7 day average again) over the same period only rose from 115,000 to 192,000, not remotely to the same degree. And you wouldn't expect a linear testing to positives either, of course.
The pandemic grew throughout last summer in the UK once restrictions were at their minimum. It's just a fact.

We're finally getting better here and numbers have come down almost 50% in the last couple of weeks.
Trouble is the govt is now talking about opening schools again and then it will go back up. I really don't want my daughter back at school until I have been vaccinated as I was on the extremely vulnerable list in the UK.
I get why they want to do it (my daughter has been at school about 6 weeks total since last March) but I hope they really get the numbers down before opening schools up again. We might no longer have the worst cases to population rate in the EU but we're not far off it in 2nd place.
