No. There's a weekly pattern

Look at the 7 day rolling average, and the growth rate of that. 7 day average is 27,000 for today - that's the lowest since 20th December. That's 29% lower than a week ago - that growth rate has been stable for a few days now.

No sign (yet) that things aren't improving all the time.

that said, the ONS prevalence survey numbers out today seemed a bit less cheery. but havent had a chance to look at them properly.
