Hope it's right, but it would be very surprising indeed. One reason may be that following "pingdemic" coverage, people are uninstalling the NHS app, and another (more hopeful, but less likely) is that the virus has gone through the susceptible unvaccinated incautious groups, and is now coming up against the vaccinated and/or cautious groups.
Not just de-installing the app, but places like pubs and restaurants are, in many cases, no longer requiring that you "check in" with the app.
They are also bringing into service more tables, and customers are therefore closer together.
So we will see.
