So just had my happy bubble about the decline in UK cases burst. Is it just the schools being off so less testing of asymptotic cases?pic.twitter.com/9aZ6QgpxUU
Likely a minor factor, but cases have fallen much faster than tests (30-40% drop from peak vs 5-10%). If asymptomatic testing was responsible for the drop in cases you would need to have seen a huge drop in tests to generate this drop in cases.pic.twitter.com/cbME1H0aaD

The kids are not going to school and getting tests, but they’re also not going to school and mixing with ~30 people every day and then going home to their families, and that seems much more important.

The real test is hospitalisation data, I would expect to see a levelling off and decline in admission numbers 5-7 days from now if the drop in cases is real.

One reason could be that vaccines are reaching their optimum efficiency and starting to prevent infection as well.

R in france falling as well. I think it just clusters faster but drops faster as well
-
Is it because enough people are vaccinated or already infected it’s reduced R?
