There are house parties going on all the time. The people who live behind my house in the next street hold parties regularly. The raves and protests were outside where it is harder to transfer the virus but they may have slowed the reduction in the prevalence of the virus.
Yes, I haven’t seen may young people in pubs apart from the bar staff. The pubs I have been in insist on social distancing but clearly that isn’t the case in other areas.

Was that not when Leicester went into lockdown?

It was the working population, in particular in textile factories, who were disproportionately affected by that spike, not young people partying.

It won't be representative since for starters I'm in Scotland but I ordered on the 2nd, it arrived early enough via Amazon to get it done for last post on the 3rd & my result arrived on the 8th via email & text.
Mine was negative which does't help with me still feeling crap so I've not got 100% faith in it TBH.
in the 3 months 28 May to 26 August, in England, 73,553 people test positive for coronavirus (by specimen date);
36,591 (49.7%) were 0 - 39 [2.28m tests @ 1.6% +ve]
36,792 (50%) were 40+ [2.52m tests @ 1.5% +ve]
(unsure on the small totalling error)
sadly this data is released in batches i think, and this only goes to 26 August. I do think this will now be shifting more towards those < 40 and we will see that in a further release i predict. But to claim it's all 20 year olds at parties is disingenuous.

you realise the incubation time for the covid19 virus is up to 2 weeks
the uptick in cases started in the first week in june, indicating increased infections were from contacts in mid may.
I do not doubt the increase is partly driven by the opening of the economy, but is also partly driven by mass protests and illegal raves and house parties.
Please also consider that in the early raves and house parties there would have been a low infection rate but that would have increased exponentially in the later raves and house parties, because people that attend multiple events.
For example at rave number one a single asymptomatic carrier infects 10 people.
At rave number two half (5) of those infected people attend again and infect 10 more people each (thats 50 people)
At rave number three half (25) of those infected attend and infect 10 more people each (thats 250 people)
and on and on and on.
