I have no idea how much of an assessment the testing really allows
Imperial's REACT study of 85,000 volunteers has just come out and is also encouraging but suggests 1 in 196 are infected on average across England, which if my maths is right is over 500 per 100,000 (I am crap at maths so check that):

Good to see rates are coming down in London. Still very far from 'end in sight' and I have no idea how much of an assessment the testing really allows, but as it's probably on the same basis as before, this should be grounds for optimism.
