Tentative signs the virus has burned out, either through infections or vaccinations. The wave has been entirely confined to the younger age brackets who are far less vaccinated.[1]
Being in central London right now, through anecdotal evidence I don't think we've suddenly become less sociable.

School years 6, 7, 11, and 12 are ages 11, 12, 17, and 18 respectively. https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/conditionsanddiseases/articles/coronaviruscovid19latestinsights/infections#infections-by-age https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthan...
- wrboyce 5y agoI don’t think those ages are right (the maths do not follow, so I’m almost certain they are not). In y11 you turn 16, not 17. https://www.gov.uk/national-curriculum https://www.gov.uk/national-curriculum
- ddek 5y agoYour right, I forgot about y13 being the last year. Y11 is GCSE year which ends at 16. I’m not sure why the the age brackets don’t go up to Y13, when school ends.
- smorgusofborg 5y agoThe Massachusetts study is rather confusing about delta and vaccination, but I think it emphasizes that demographics of who is socializing is skewed. So it might have burned out among those in the nightlife and still be highly dangerous among pensioners.
- perardi 5y agoI know the demographics of who were socializing. It’s very skewed. Friends and acquaintances of mine. I have some doubts about how generalizable the results are. A circuit party is not a produce aisle.
