Latest weekly ONS all deaths data released today shows 2020 figure for 5 June of 10,709 deaths compared to 5 year average of 9,977.
Those two numbers getting very close.
Good news.

To be honest, that's close enough to be considered normal. Fingers crossed it stays there.

Two Chinese candidate vaccines are obtaining encouraging results, but there may be a problem in that the scientists there may struggle to access sufficient people for the important phase three stages. Pray the squabbles of countries don't get in the way of potential progress for the world.

The cyber security intrusions by countries into organisations who are researching and producing these vaccines is very sad. Which ever company produces something that works will be very rich, shouldn’t preventing lots of people on the planet dying take priority over that?

One would hope so. These Chinese candidates are apparently further ahead than others, so even if they do fail, their results should inform the trials of others. South America has horribly high numbers, so presumably these vaccines can be tried there in the coming months.

New daily COVID infections fall by half
June 15, 2020

New COVID cases continue to fall across the UK, with cases dropping by almost half in a week‍
According to the latest COVID Symptom Study app figures based on positive swab tests there are now just below 5,000 daily new cases of COVID across the UK (excluding care homes) [*], this number has fallen by almost a half (47%) from the 9,400 figure last week, suggesting the current COVID trend in the UK is much more positive than currently thought. The figures were based on 12,872 swab tests from 24 May to 6 June 2020 and extrapolated to the wider population.

In England, the number of daily new cases fell in all the regions, including 49% in the North West (820 from 1608), a drop of 46% in the South East (365 from 674) and a drop of 43% in the South West (162 from 284). The North East and Yorkshire is still the area of the country with the highest incidence rates, but the number fell from 1,965 to 1,275 a reduction of 35%, suggesting that the situation is improving.

The numbers of new cases estimated daily in England (4,523) is similar to that estimated last week (5,570) from the latest ONS household survey that also uses swab testing.

In London, whilst the number of cases is still lower than in the north of England, they fell by 27% this week. Examining the data over the last month suggests that the drop in cases has been slower than other regions.

These results are based on a sub-group of 1,015,546 people using the COVID Symptom Study app, of whom 12,872 carried out swab tests after an invitation from ZOE when they began to feel unwell and 108 tested positive. These figures give an up to date view of COVID infection rates, unlike deaths which lag by about 3 weeks.
