Terrifying amount of hospitalizations and death, and it is going to get much worse in 3 to 4 weeks. 
You can see from this chart, we have gotten much better in keeping people alive, conditional on them getting sick enough to go to the hospital: great! But, all of that collapses if/when the hospitals get overwhelmed. And, that is starting in many places around the country.
People keep saying we are running out of "ICU beds", but what they mean is we are running out of Doctors/Nurses/Staff & Supplies/Treatment. If you, or a loved one, gets sick over Thanksgiving, that is the cold reality of what they will face if rushed to hospital a few week later.
We cannot redistribute people & supplies around US, like we did in the first two waves, because pandemic everywhere at once. And, we have no functioning government anyway to facilitate that. If people do indoor Thanksgiving, as feared: it is going to be humanitarian disaster.
