Younger, fitter people are ill longer before dying/getting better. An old person is job done within 2 weeks, one way or another.
Number of cases is not a very good measure in any case.
Hospitalisations is all that matters.
Don't forget, even now total deaths is only 4 million out of 7.65 billion. Totally irrelevant, unless you or yours happen to be one of them.
The only danger is, and always has been, the health system getting overloaded. And the NHS is a very long way from that at the moment.
