You are mixing issues a bit.See replies above
We haven't finished our first wave. We pretty much have. As I stated 'expected deaths are at normal rate.
> We are nearly there but remember that we aren't seeing as many deaths from other communicable diseases.
You are confusing not getting it with being asymptomatic. Not the same! No, I am really not.
>Yes, fair enough. It was 20% on the Diamond Princess.
There are still distancing measures in place.
R is rising in London. Possibly above 1. Not seen this. Can you link it?

A small percentage of even Londoners and NuYoikers have had it, unfortunately. They are nowhere near herd immunity. Public transport is still sparsely populated (in the main) and people are wearing masks.
Almost nobody that has been shielding correctly have had it (homes notwithstanding).
It hasn't gone away. There are probably towards 1500 news cases every day. 530 yesterday
>Positive tests...
>One month ago it was thought that about 5% of the UK population have had it. If we accept the figure that 20% can get it, we are looking at three more of these before we are out the other side. Deaths might be lower even with that in mind if we think that the majority of those who have died were old and those who are left are less likely to die. That's pretty much what we have to hope for now.
