I disagree with your statement, but here are the results for the whole UK https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-variants...

and here's the plot for London https://twitter.com/theosanderson/status/1471907339397738502

Why is the delta graph blocky and the omicron one smooth?

This looks like the weekend reporting artefact - you can see that Delta cases are lower at the weekend. You can actually see the same effect show itself as a small slowdown in the growth of the Omicron series, but since it’s a rapidly climbing figure it’s a bit harder to make out.

Interesting. Thanks for the link. Do you happen to know of equivalent data for NYC? I’m apparently not adept at finding this information.
