According to the ONS, it was over 33,800 up to 30th April. So to get to 34,000 would mean we're averaging 10 a day since then.
And that's based on the figures that we know of.
Then again, last time I checked, the UK figures are over 3,000 new cases per day, so it's not exactly under control either.Comment

That's not the ONS figures, that the DHSC figures.
On 30th April, DHSC were reporting 26,771 total dead in the UK.
ONS base it on the date of death, so a death that took place in April but wasn't reported until 5th May would be included in their figures.
ONS figures to 30th April were 33,841
Since 30th April, DHSC have reported about 8,000 deaths.
Even if all deaths reported to DHSC up to 5th May were actually April ones, there's still over 5,000 to add on.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Which bit is wrong, so far?
With no measures, it would be around 1.4 million (or as you lied, “2 million”)
With basic hygiene, drops to 900,000
With social distancing, drops to around 110,000
Like I said all along…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Meanwhile, NZ are still chasing covid-zero
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-58241619
New Zealand has announced a snap lockdown after a man tested positive for Covid, the first case in six months.
The case was detected in Auckland, which will be in lockdown for a week, while the rest of the country will be in lockdown for three days.
Authorities say they are working on the assumption that the new case was the Delta variant.
Just around 20% of its population has been fully vaccinated.
Coromandel, a coastal town where the infected person had visited, will be in lockdown for seven days too.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said the toughest "level 4" rules were required - closing schools, offices and all businesses with only essential services remaining operational.
"I want to assure New Zealand that we have planned for this eventuality. Going hard and early has worked for us before," she said.
The patient is a 58-year-old man, who is believed to have been infectious since last Thursday.
There are at least 23 potential sites of transmission.
