Today we broke the US pandemic thresholds for both hospitalizations, over 100,000 and deaths, over 2,700 deaths.

It's horrifying and we should be pulling out all the stops to prevent further M & M. We can do this if there is the will.

The deaths lag the hospitalizations, the spurious dip related to the holiday data issue. Their close tracking is unequivocal in this 3rd surge.
The hospital and healthcare workforce capacity has been exceeded in many parts to the country, requiring urgent intervention

To do this we need to stop the spread of ~200,000 new confirmed cases again today. Universal mask mandates, enforced, distribute surgical mask supply and rapid home tests out to all households now, shut down hot spots, cluster bust, etc, whatever it takes
The US paralysis in response is noteworthy and represents a distinct outlier from all the countries around the world that have been through (or are going through) their 2nd wave.
