Victoria33:
Look at seven day periods data.

AS OF JUNE 6/7: Consider all in quotes:
Cases in the UK have surged by 53% in a week as 17 areas now have infection rates above 100 per 100,000 people, new data shows.
The government’s latest COVID-19 figures, released on Monday, demonstrate the continued spread of the more transmissible Indian variant, which has been renamed the "Delta" variant by the World Health Organization.
Downing Street has said there is “nothing in the data” to suggest a delay would be needed.
But an increasing number of senior advisers are believed to be pushing for a delay of up to a couple of weeks to fully understand the impact of the Indian variant.
In the seven days up to Monday, there were 35,796 cases reported in the UK.
This is an increase of 12,378 (52.9%) from the number reported the week before - ending May 31.

Meanwhile, 17 areas have now emerged as hotspots including Bolton, Manchester and Glasgow. A full list of those areas can be viewed at the bottom of this page.
The latest government figures also shows that 28 areas have a case rate of more than 100 per 100,000.

The UK’s recent surge in Covid-19 infections has continued today with 5,341 new cases confirmed, as of 9am on Sunday, meaning cases have risen by 11,022 (or 49 per cent) over the last seven days.
Government data also showed that a further four people had died within 28 days of testing positive for Covid-19, suggesting that the recent rise in cases has not yet led to a surge in hospitalisations and deaths.
It came as health secretary Matt Hancock confirmed that people aged under 30 would be invited to book their coronavirus vaccine jabs starting this week.
Speaking on Sky News’ Trevor Phillips On Sunday programme, the health secretary said vaccines had “severed, but not broken” the link between a rise in cases and and the number of people being admitted into hospital.
“The majority of people going into hospital right now are unvaccinated,” Mr Hancock said.
The health secretary added that the government’s plans for a final lifting of the remaining Covid-19 restrictions would likely move forward as planned later this month if there is no increase in hospital admissions over the coming days.
However, he said it was “too early” to say whether restrictions would be fully lifted for sure.

@Victoria33, that nice smooth dark blue curve on the chart is the running 7-day average. You would have known that had you bothered to look along the the bottom of the chart @thackney posted. Even that bump in the last several days is a bump in a basement floor, and may have already peaked.
UK reality isn't what you seem determined to believe it is, @Victoria33.

I looked at the whole chart. Maybe you have not read my post before this one. No point in going on with this conversation.

If you looked at the whole chart then you knew the 7-day average shows the UK is not experiencing a bump in new cases.
Meanwhile, looking at Worldometer, the US' new cases and deaths numbers obstinately continue to decline, defying CDC experts' hopes.
