Cases of the variant have gone up by 5,472 to 12,431, according to Public Health England (PHE).
PHE officials said on Thursday that the Delta variant has now overtaken the Alpha (Kent) one as the most dominant in the UK.

So we have Delta with 12,431, which, as it's the dominant strain, has more cases than the other two variants. If we knock just one case off the other variants - making them 12,430 each - then the total cases must only be 37,291.
85,600 minus 37,291 gives us 48,309 cases missing . . . have these recovered in a week, or are there more than 3 variants?
. . . or maybe something being 'dominant' doesn't mean what I think it means
