This follows on the last COVID update here, 5 yrs. after polling COVID stats Jan. 2020 to May 2021.
I went to London exactly 6 yrs. ago to get my Canadian passport: my UK "settled status" as a French national wasn't in yet; if they didn't take me as EU citizen, they couldn't refuse me as Commonwealth citizen... I met my best friend in Chinatown to witness my passport pics, before I went to the consulate to renew my passport... Well Chinatown was already all set up with one-way ingress-egress in stores, social distancing & face masks! The consulate also closed for no reason given. So, everyone but uk.guv seemed to know what had started in China late Nov. early Dec 2019 had already arrived here...
That's why I bird-dogged COVID numbers from NHS & ONS for over a year in decreasing frequency, to document online what the guv daren't say in public - posting details in the post this follows - new GIF & video tools helped me animate in two ways COVID graphs from my blogpost archive. The progress toward the vaunted "flattening of the curve" - cumulative case and death curves plateau out - is clearly not achieved as at Sept. 2020 end of my graphing: deaths flattened but cases got a second kick!

Note the glaring mistake in the graphs: dates correctly say 2020 in time axis... but incorrectly say 2021 in each graph title!
Key:
- red area - NHSx cases cummulative (darker: left title date, lighter: right title date)
- blue line (hidden) - NHSx cases
- purple line - ONS deaths cummulative
- yellow line - ONS deaths
The ongoing pandemic is documented in my COVID Info Portal as well as the Live Stream in my previous blog. I did find also this cracking map by @carlbaker. It inspired me in fact to have fast & slow versions of my graph videos.
