I thought of adding further comments to this question:

but decided to add (yet) another for today's entertainment. My comments are (as usual) lengthy and too long to post in the question so they follow.

Maybe it is - so long as you don't think they are doubling every 12 days (which is what you mentioned earlier). Because they are not. You can find the number of daily new cases here:

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/uk

They are the official government figures which are announced each day. As a guide, yesterday's figure (today's have, for some mysterious reason, not yet been released) was 25,177. Half of that is 12,588. The last time they were that low was 5th October (12,593). So it's taken 30 days to double to yesterday's figure.
As a matter of pedantry, official government figures are available at https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/ -- the link NJ gives *should* be in line with the official, but sometimes isn't, and is in any case a secondary source.
