God only knows what he was trying to say here. Daily deaths are nowhere near being “almost nothing.” Watch, then read on.

Over a thousand people died in the U.S. yesterday and deaths are trending upward. COVID is now the third-leading cause of death for Americans in 2020 behind only heart disease and cancer. Although Europe is being hit much harder than we are right now in terms of cases per capita, deaths per capita in some countries there aren’t wildly higher than they are here. France is experiencing a hellacious outbreak and had 235 deaths yesterday, which is only a bit higher than America’s toll when you adjust for population. Who knows what the daily death toll will look like here a month from now, when our winter outbreak has accelerated to keep pace with theirs.
The number to watch is hospitalizations. As more people are hospitalized with serious cases of the disease, some percentage of that number will have bad outcomes. Hospitalizations are rising:
All but 11 states saw a rise in people hospitalized this week, the largest increases occurring in the upper Midwest and Texas.
