October was unprecedented for several recorded metrics associated with the pandemic.
Of the country's seven highest daily tallies of new cases, six were in October. The highest -- 99,321 recorded on Friday -- was the most recorded in one day for any one nation so far.
The number of US Covid-19 patients in hospitals on Saturday, October's last day, was 47,374 -- 65.6% higher than it was on September 20, when it was at a low following the summer surge.

2.5% or the minimum deaths one can expect of this group within one month or so will therefore be: 2483
But, because of hospitals running out of beds especially
out in the country a death rate of 5% or even 10% is
also a realistic assumption at this point too.
But, the 2483 needs to be multiplied by 3 to include those
who weren't tested who are also dying who cannot afford
to go to a doctor or hospital without bankrupting their families.
