The R rate is a stupid metric. If there is 1 case, and that case spreads to two other people in the household, the R rate is now 3 and the end is nigh.
Daily cases and hospitalizations lowest they've been. That's what matters.

it's not stupid, it just needs the context you've mentioned

Yep. If there was a rule preventing those people leaving their house it would be a useless data point, but London is not a single house.

It looks like the 30k reduction was due to duplications between pillar 1 and 2 and they have updated all reporting to include pillar 1 and 2. So that is a good move, maybe a bit late. "The methodology for reporting positive cases changed on 2 July 2020 to remove duplicates within and across pillars 1 and 2, to ensure that a person who tests positive is only counted once. Due to this change, 30,302 previously reported cases were removed from the UK total." https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/?_ga=2.59836133.936063056.1593887464-1968034309.1584125415

I had make a short journey up the M5 this morning and it was apparent that a substantial number of grockels decided to dust off their caravans at the first opportunity and rush down to the south west.
I also walked past a couple of the pubs in my small Somerset town early this evening. Surprisingly, they did not appear to be particularly busy. I intend to give the pub a miss for a few weeks to see how things pan out.

Tbf, bar the odd inevitable outbreak of twattery, first weekend of pubs opening doesn't seem to have been the carnage it might have been. Coppers not impressed with social distancing though which may prove problematic if lots of that indoors

Oliver Dowden, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, explains why it's safe to travel on aeroplanes but not safe to go to the theatre on Radio 4 this morning: “There are two things we do: first of all, we mitigate the risk, but ultimately, even when you mitigate risk by having - not having - social distancing, that increases significantly the risk of social distancing and we’re simply not at a point where we can do that for theatres.” https://twitter.com/sturdyAlex/status/1280043551108333570With clear straightforward guidance like this, no wonder the govt will be blaming "the public" for any upsurge in infections.

I went out in Bath for a few. I didn’t see any trouble at all, the pubs were very strict on who they let in, if someone even had a little bit of a wobble on they weren’t allowed in. Social distancing inside the places I went was fine too.

Easily treatable with antibiotics though.
