So to add on to the above, the 7 day infection case rate per 100,000 has now fallen below the 1,000 mark today, it's now 991 per 100k based on WHO population numbers. This is almost exacty half of the peak date, which was reported on 5 January at 1884 per 100k, so the case rate has halved in 13 days, which is fast. Alpha took 18 days from its peak to reduce by 50%. I wish I could say something about Delta, but unfortunately frrom the peak day, 21 July, it never did halve.
Deaths remain high, with high rates in London and the North West of England. London seems to be slowing down, North West is still rising.
