Fauci: COVID-19 hospitalizations rising among vaccinated (1 Viewer)

No, it hasn't. There's been a clear difference in this regard. Last year the surge started in late September and kept rising until January, where cases began to drop. This year, the Delta variant impacted much of the country throughout the summer, and we've seen cases drop off in September rather than increasing. Cases have just started to rise in the US in November, so it remains to be seen whether they will reach the same peaks as they did last year.

If this holiday season doesn't feature a widespread surge with high hospitalization and death counts, then at least there's that positive as it relates to more standard gatherings and travel patterns.

Why does your source combine cases and deaths into one number?

Both of Worldometers and Our World in Data source from many of the same places, so it's more about how data is presented than a variance in sources. I like the latter because it has more visualizations and easier ways of looking at data comparatively.

It doesn't. Those are just two separate charts laid side by side for easier viewing since those are two related metrics.
