Cumulative case numbers for variants published by PHE today, 3 June.

I think we all get the picture now that the Delta/B.1.617.2/'India' variant is becoming dominant.

Here are the charts.

And a final tweet linking to today's risk assessment of Delta, which isn't great news.

Secondary attack rate estimates of Delta. Estimated downwards, but updated time period used for analysis.

51% higher SAR than Alpha (lower than last week's 66% higher).

This is still *much* higher than Alpha.
