>There has been a very small uptick in deaths

Ha, I see the talking point has changed. Everybody was saying the increase in cases meant nothing because it was all due to testing and deaths weren't increasing.

Now it is a "very small uptick", meaning, for instance, about 300% in the last 3 weeks in Texas.[1]

Darn scared people, like the governor of Georgia, who is so scared of something that he's suing[2] Atlanta's mayor to prevent the city from requiring masks.
