The Swedish study suggested that for every 1 infected person who show antibodies, 2 more will have killed off the infection using T Cells.
ie very basic extrapolation but if antibodies are suggesting 15% infected, real number who have been infected is more like 45%.

Unfortunately, it is not known whether having T-Cell immunity stops a person passing the disease on. Whilst the immunity is great for the individual, it remains to be seen if it is an advantage on a wider scale.

Majority of the top 10 infection rates in the country are decreasing.

Also good to see the drop of the England figure in percentage terms if I’m reading that right

40% drop in cases following relaxation of lockdown measures sounds like good news.

I don't get why there is a question about Leicester. It still has a very high rate of infection according to the data.

Some more of the article below. It’s being questioned by this particular academic as they say Leicester was still way below dangerous levels in terms of infection rate, and very low deaths rate. Also a suggestion that the ‘spike’ they had was in April so a lockdown in July seems to be a bit after the event.

That’s the point I was making in the post above yours

NHS England announce 35 new deaths today, down from 55 last Thursday. Also a note on yesterday’s 176 total, it was a rise on last week but PHE outside hospital deaths added 120 deaths yesterday which seemed very out of kilter so my suspicion is this was a number of backdated deaths, unfortunately there is no breakdown of deaths by actual date of death in the outside hospital sector so we simply don’t know when these additional deaths were from.
Let’s hope today’s total is lower, will update when the full U.K. all setting figure is released in the next few hours.

That 35 included 7 from more than a week ago so really low mid-week figure.
Others pointing out that 1st of June also saw a big bump in numbers and some suspecting it could be some month end reporting having an impact.
EDIT - Just seen you've basically said the same as me already.

More stuff related to T-cell immunity.
"What seems clear is you do have cross-reaction from T-cells that are activated by standard endemic coronaviruses," Sir John Bell, regius professor of medicine at Oxford University, said.

A new low on new infections, 89 deaths compared to 149 last Thursday.
(Interesting note underneath, cases have been revised to 30000 lower than were reported yesterday, presumably due to duplicate tests?)

A new low for cases set against what must be close to a high for daily tests. I know there’s a lot of mystery shrouded in those test numbers, but by far the lowest positive test % since testing began in this country.
Wow.
