November just ended, so here is the shape of the local (Memphis/Shelby County, TN) pandemic by month.

Two big things stand out to me.
First, cases grew tremendously from October to November, while testing was largely flat. That does not bode well for the weeks ahead. It likely means that we have missed a large number of cases.

2) Deaths kept rising after this summer's peak in cases. That says we can likely expect deaths to rise in Dec. Also, the Oct spike in deaths likely represents cases from the summer, which suggests that we could expect deaths to continue even after our current wave subsides.
[Note that they added new metrics in mid-Sept, which I didn't include until the first full month, Oct. This new metric is a better data point, but since they haven't released the historic data, it's difficult to compare more recent testing data from previous months].
Oh, and this is what hospitalization looked like...
