Infections of the CCP virus had all but leveled off in the first week of lockdown in England, according to estimates from a weekly swab-sample survey published today.

The results are consistent with other data that suggest the so-called second wave of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus was already fading before Nov. 5, when the lockdown was enforced.
