After surging for months because of the hypercontagious Delta variant, COVID-19 cases in the United Kingdom are rapidly plummeting, raising the question of whether America’s Delta wave could also peak sooner than expected.
“In the United Kingdom … cases are clearly coming down at this point,” Dr. Scott Gottlieb, the former Food and Drug Administration commissioner, told CNBC on Monday. “If the U.K. is turning the corner, it’s a pretty good indication that maybe we’re further into this than we think, and maybe we’re two or three weeks away from starting to see our own plateau here in the United States.”
The U.K.’s turnaround has been startling in its abruptness and speed. Last week, the leading British COVID modeler told the BBC that the country was “almost certain” to hit 100,000 cases per day — a number that could soar, he added, to 200,000 by the end of summer. U.K. Health Secretary Sajid Javid made a similar prediction.
Around the same time, the U.K.’s daily case count crossed the 50,000 threshold for the first time since January, and more cases seemed inevitable.
But ever since July 20, the opposite has happened: Cases have fallen for seven straight days, and they have fallen fast. From a high of nearly 54,000 on July 17, the daily tally slid to 43,404 last Wednesday; 39,315 on Thursday; 35,654 on Friday; 31,285 on Saturday and 28,652 on Sunday.

Sooner than expected?
They’ll have to try again?..................
The polling and resistance was much higher than anticipated.
The government will now say it’s peaking and subsiding to wait for a more opportune moment.
Most likely yes, a lot of people have antibodies and don’t know it.
Llamda on deck ....no worries
How do they reconcile that with the assertion that it spreads much more rapidly than alpha? Did it run out of new hosts? If so, how deadly did it turn out to be, now that there are no more hosts to infect?
Maybe it just mutated again, for the hell of it.
If this delta variant is far less serious than the original, then why are we panicking over it? The media and government are acting as if it’s still March 2020, and we have no vaccines, and he have limited knowledge of a strange new virus sweeping the globe.
"Plateau"? Nope, peak.
Seasonal flue status unlocking.
This is not good. After D comes E and maybe they’ll break out the Ebola since Delta was a fail.
Hospitals have had more than a year to prepare for any “surge” of the China Virus.
The rest of society should stop paying the price for their incompetence.
We are usually a month or so behind the UK trend
Assuming at least some of this cyclical trend is due to natural epidemic curves observed for many past pandemics

A big difference here being this is an engineered bio agent, not a naturally occurring virus…and a bio war may be continuing via planned manipulation
What will Boris’s wife come up with now to keep their boot in play ?
Don’t worry, they have 12 other variants to “fear porn”...money and control must be distributed amongst the Marxists....
Nope, it will not peak sooner here due to the illegals crossing our border unchecked.
Distributing infected individuals is the exact opposite of “flattening the curve”. If anything that would accelerate the timetable to reaching peak.
Just remember this every single thing they say about COVID-19 is a Y a bold face lie a complete lie and it’s all just designed to implement the global reset
A bigger truth even more important than their current thrives to implement a global reset is it the vaccination bowl crap the vaccine industry is pure evil pure fried and it’s easily provable
Just because the globalist depopulation oligarchs want to force an experimental “vaccine” with an unprecedented number of catastrophic adverse reactions upon every human being on the planet to combat a weaponized virus the creation of which they funded does NOT mean anything nefarious is afoot.™ 🤡
Plenty of letters left in the alphabet.
Of course the UK can easily control who comes in the country..being an island
