UK OK?

 

It looks as though Britain may be the first nation to achieve herd immunity to COVID. And it was not all that painful. England opened up on July 19. Cases soared. But deaths did not. Now, the rate of infection has begun falling as quickly as it rose—and in the UK, the reporting system is very good. There might be a new spike in the fall; there might be some new variant. But thiis looks promising. Past drops seemed to reflect measures like lockdowns, masking, and vaccines. This time, most folks are already vaccinated, and other measures have been mostly removed. What else but growing herd immunity could be causing it?
