5. Current hospitalizations also ticked above 40k for the first time since August 21

when numbers were falling from the late July peak just shy of 60k.

The hospitalizations leveled out around (usually just below) 30k back in early September, but began an almost continuous trend upward on October 4th.

Rising death rates trail the rising hospitalizations by 2-3 weeks, so we're just at the beginning of what will likely be an upward slope in the death rate. In 1-2 weeks, there's a good chance we're back to a couple thousand deaths per day.
