Although to be honest, London isnt the region I would focus on so far if I wanted to tell dramatic stories using data in this wave. Because unlike the North East for example, this wave so far has been more modest in London than the previous wave was in London. Thats also probably one of the big reasons why, since more people were infected in London in previous waves, leaving less susceptible people avaialble to catch it in this wave.
I dont know quite how many graphs I will get round to doing in time for your purpose, but there is really one headline story that really leaps out from the daily positive case numbers for England at the moment. And its a continuation of the story people have already been telling recently, but the data got substantially worse in recent days....
Positive cases in the 10-14 age group in England, by date of test specimen:
I havent checked every regions version of that data yet. But its likely to be a similar pattern in all regions, just more pronounced in some than others.
For example the leap in recent few days is dramatic in the East Midlands:
It is still present in the London region, but not to the same extent yet (eg note different scale on chart axis, and levels now compared to the July peak). Still not a million miles away from a very rapid doubling though:
Most of the other age groups have been going in quite the opposite direction, except 5-9 year olds where things are getting bad too, but not yet with such a dramatic additional spike/nearly doubling in the last few days. I dont have graphs ready to get into more detail in regards the other age groups yet.
