Not sure it was the Jubilee per se, unless it was the lead up to it as well. Look at the interactive map - the slider at the top will take you through the dates. The data is typically a week behind - so now it's for 10th June'ish. Scotland starts to change in May. Not sure what the incubation period is either now..but a 27th May date for data would mean earlier contact? Scotland still grows through the 3rd June, whilst the UK still decreases before a sudden upturn on the 10th.
Maybe it's an illusion caused by the Jubilee? I wonder how many people took advantage of the extra hols and took an extended holiday for half term - and because of that took tests that found that people were positive when they may have been asymptomatic - ie the holiday forced more testing that wouldn't have happened normally. So what is being shown is the 'true' rate of infection rather than a deflated figure caused by lack of testing?
For what it's worth I have had covid and 3 shots of Moderna. My wife had covid and 2 shots of phizer and had covid again. I think the booster kept me from getting covid again from Her but I got a rash from getting the booster
Not a scientific study but just amongst my work team, COVID sickness increased this last month. Also many of the recent (last few months) positive staff were off for longer than usual as symptoms persisted - mainly fatigue.
I should think they were already exhausted @AuntyRach and Covid would just make that worse.
OH and I had our 4th jabs 10 days ago. Pfizer again and I had a painful swelling on my arm for a few days. OH just felt a bit tender. Possum will probably called for one in late summer/early autumn.
I know a few ladies at the needlework club have had Covid plus our two farmer neighbours and presumably others who were at the same wedding feast, hugging and kissing. A few of OH's golfing pals have had it too and the Seniors captain still refuses to be vaccinated, as do one or two at the gardening club. Madness.

We caught it in late March this year as did more of our friends just before and since then (presumably the Omicron version) than in the previous two years. None of us however caught it from each other and none were hospitalized.
I know of only one relative who was hospitalized and nearly died early on in the epidemic - and I have over 100 relatives.
Recent articles indicate that the Omicron version does not give much immunity, if at all, and that is why more people are being reinfected now.
