Good case numbers in France, Germany yesterday and the Welsh firebreak definitely worked. (What a surprise - reducing person contacts slow transmission). Northern Ireland controlled well but plateauing high -another push needed
Need to see the impact of the English Nov lockdown - next week sometime one should see lower infection numbers after the 7 day ish incubation period from last Friday plus the test and reporting cycles.
Scotland’s Tiering scheme and particular the central belt work also has done well - though I suspect they want to achieve now more decrease in infection
The other thing to be positive about in England is that the push to more local TTI, higher testing, and Tiering before lockdown looked like it was making an impact (not enough to get infections dropping but definitely something)
Trace in particular works better at lower incidence. We now need to improve isolation support and compliance, make all the gains possible on Trace to allow for a bridge through to widespread vaccination (sometime next year hopefully)
Other countries to note - thankful that Austria has pulled restrictions. Spain continues to be rather opaque to me (numbers so hard to work out). Belgium has had a insanely tough time but I think is improving (right?)
