This is very encouraging, in fact.

It seems to mean that whatever increase in COVID cases we have now, is going to be not as sharp as the previous one.

The devil is in the details, however, so I would like to point out that he deals with total deaths only at around the 2:30 point you mentioned, and as far as I could see from there, the rest of the video has graphs, which again deal only with recorded COVID cases. Which, once again, are, unfortunately, subject to interpretation.

When he talks about Sweden later on, for example, he compares Imperial college etc. graphs with actual COVID deaths recorded. However, Sweden was very lax in doing COVID tests even up to June (see, eg. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1133055/weekly-number-of-coronavirus-tests-in-sweden/ ), so it doesn't make sense to use COVID graphs for that. Nothing, but total deaths in country per period, in all comparisons, seems to be meaningful.
