That has happened here too, but it is because they returned to school after the holidays and they all got tested, so there were a lot of extra false positives in the testing of the kids, even worse we ran short of testing and appear to have had to use some less accurate tests which have even more false positives so the percentage positive also increased making it look like a real outbreak, and because some of the less accurate tests were used by the elderly the elderly tests also showed extra positives, and then some of them died of other causes, but as long as they die within 28 days of a positive covid test then they are counted as a covid death, so the covid deaths also increased, even though they are really false covid deaths!
All returning to normal now the excitement of the new school year is settling down! I don't think we have actually had an increase in virus since it died out at the end of June, except a very small increase at the beginning of September caused by people coming home from holiday in Spain and France where they have a lot more of it, but that didn't spread, they were supposed to go into quarantine.
Once again, Nigel you are engaging in an absolutely astonishing level of denial, outright falsehoods and propaganda in what at this point is a bizarre attempt to have us believe that everything is just fine and peachy in the UK in regard to the COVID-19 pandemic. Of course, as usual you indulge in criticism of other nations while promoting your own self serving nationalist false narrative.
In the last 7 days alone there have been 42,605 new coronavirus cases confirmed in the UK! Just yesterday, 7,143 new positive coronavurius cases were reported. At the very same time, UK hospitalization rates for COVID have been doubling every 8 days and have now entered a stage where they are tripling! Obvioulsy, false positive tests for COVID don't put people in hospitals or on ventilators.
This chart is the very definition of a SPIKE.
This was the spike in COVID cases predicted last June/July when we started seeing COVID Quarantine Raves, clandestine Airbnb parties and debauched pub crawls begiining on July 4th weekend with crowds of rowdy drunks throwing beer bottles at squads of police who retreated in panic. (Here in the USA they all would have been arrested for aggravated disorderly conduct and public drunkenness.)
But you would have everyone believe that all these thousands of new cases are completely "false", that your huge spike in COVID hospitalizations and numbers if patients on ventilators isn't really happening, that your rising COVID death rate is from some unnamed other causes. Just Amazing!
This bizarre narrative is all nothing new from you. It was back on August 26th when you made the laughable assertion, as you repeat again here that the epidemic was literally "Over in the UK!
You should thank Boris again for that as the new curfew he just put in place has everyone leaving the pubs at 10PM and getting on the tube together. Another huge spike in the making!
"For us the epidemic is over". Unbelievable! Fantasy Land...

Obviously there is a self evident truth to be told here but we are certainly not hearing it from you.
