Pertinent information in the regional mortality data reveals the extent of community immunity in England. The only regions exhibiting excess death and increasing COVID mortality (of endemic quality) are North West and East Midlands, consistent with NHS Pathways data.

Definition of an epidemic - "a WIDESPREAD occurrence of an infectious disease in a community at a particular time." (My emphasis). There is no epidemic in England. There is no second wave. There is a residual tail in isolated regions.

Despite "heroic" efforts to beat a natural process, England has almost attained herd immunity in all regions. There is no justification for measures against COVID more than for any other endemic virus. In fact, even without a vaccine, it is less dangerous than flu this season.
