"In my mind, if we can get 3 days in a row of decreasing deaths by at least 20%, then that's a trend. (One is a fluke, 2 is luck, 3 is a pattern.) If we can get a week of decreasing deaths, and then a static level of hospitalizations/deaths, then I think we can start to unwind a bit. That will allow us to focus on the hotspots."
3 will work, but I prefer 5.
