I don't know about the UK, but what's happening in the US is that deaths in major cities are declining because the lockdowns are working, but cases and deaths are exploding in suburban and rural areas. The plateau right now is because those two effects are approximately canceling out, but as deaths in cities bottom out, total deaths will begin climbing again.

In many large cities as many as 10 or 20% are now immune and that's a huge number if the theoretical herd immunity is somewhere around 60, and the practical one is somewhere even lower.
