Regarding India’s flat case curve, is it possible that it’s an artifact of the known issue with PCR’s picking up dead virus long after an infection has cleared? So really these could be cases that began weeks ago and they’re being erroneously considered “new”
Maybe the UK’s case curve has flattened after the end of the spike due to the asymptomatic people that are getting tested for whatever reasons and turn positive for the reason you state? It doesn’t feel likely (perhaps it’s just the other omicron subvariant giving it a push? or just the “control system” of people relaxing?). The hospital admissions continued to go down as one would expect if this was the case, though the data at ourworldindata is a few days behind.
