I disagree. Daily tests have only gone down slightly, which is to be expected if less people are getting infected (https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/full-list-covid-19-tests-per-day?country=~GBR)
And crucially, it’s not only total positive tests per day that has been dropping; the share of positive tests has also been going down significantly: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/uk-covid-positivity
So I don’t think your theory passes the sniff test. I’m personally very confused about the drop in cases, and none of the theories I’ve heard seem likely.
