The triggers considered were 0.2 deaths / 100k population / week and 1.6 deaths / 100k population / week. For the U.S. that corresponds to ~700 deaths / week and ~5,200 deaths / week.
The United States as a whole hit the first trigger (according to reported deaths from https://github.com/nytimes/covid-19-data/blob/master/us.csv) sometime around 3/19, and second trigger sometime around 3/27.
