Today's #Covid19UK figures show the expected rebound after the weekend, though it has to be said this is lower than I anticipated - which is good news. As can be seen from the figures in red in the data, the weekly average percentage increase is down to 3.2%, and as an average it's likely to reflect a real trend (as opposed to a single piece of data which can be a blip).
There's still a long way to go yet though.

A really nice infographic giving some basics regarding antibodies and immunity.

In a very similar way to the #Covid19Cymru figures, but on a larger scale, the #Covid19UK data for today show deaths at their lowest since 30th March. That too was a weekend blip though, so expect a rebound tomorrow. Nonetheless, it is relatively good news. The average rate of increase over the past week is down to 3.6% (cf Italy 3.1% at the corresponding time - UK is still doing worse).
