Before revision:  We show that the original model equations provide a very good fit with the United Kingdom data for the cumulative number of infections . The active infected population of the model is seen to exhibit a turning point around mid-May, suggesting the beginning of a slow-down in the spread of infections.
After revision:  We show that the original model equations provide a very good fit with the United Kingdom data for the cumulative number of infections and the daily new cases. The fact that the model calculated daily new cases exhibits a turning point around mid-May, suggesting the beginning of a slow-down in the spread of infections.
