Went to my local gym this morning after they re-opened. The capsules are one way, and they require everyone to wash their hands when they get in. They've got a number of cleaning stations around to wipe down machines after use, with a number of machines out of action to help with distancing. They also put up a screen between the rows of cardio equipment, and have seemingly removed the mats for stretching etc. It was pretty busy all told. I got there perhaps 5-10 minutes after opening, and there must have been about 30 people there already.

There also appears to be more opposition to the kind of control measures they used in the first wave, although it's not clear whether this is because people thought those measures would be short-term pain to completely eradicate the virus. Various parties have resulted in huge numbers of cases, with one involving various top flight footballers resulting in about 90 cases, and the subsequent scrapping of the football season early.

% calculations, and therefore mistakes, are my own
All figures are UK Wide. The dates are different for different measures because of the way the data is collected and/or calculated. The finer grained data is on the website if anyone's interested in their own geographic area.

Down 23.9% after a rise last week.
Over two weeks, it's down 14.4%
Overall, things are moving in the right direction.
Cases were up this week, as they were the previous week, but, unless hospital admissions start to tick up next week, the case increases will probably be localised. So if local restrictions nip those rises in the bud, then they shouldn't spread outside their local areas.
Pubs and restaurants have been open for three weeks now, and there doesn't seem to be any measurable effect from that relaxation. So, at least while the weather's half decent, that decision looks to have been vindicated, and shouts of murderers, plus my own personal view that it was too early to open them, seem wide of the mark.
