On the Marks card (for the Bar marks), drag a field like MIN(Number of Records) onto the Size shelf.
This provides Tableau with a value to adjust the bar thickness.
Drag the Size slider all the way to the right to make the bars thicker.
Change your date field from continuous to discrete.
Once the date is discrete, adjust the Size slider to increase the bar thickness.
