"Heading down sharply" is probably an artifact of the holiday slowdown in testing and processing death reports. On the other hand, new cases have been pretty flat for the last two weeks so there's reason to be hopeful that the upward trend is done and we may be heading down, if not sharply, in the near future.

We are at the peak right now and will be heading down in the near future. We have likely seen the worst of COVID 19.
The (bigger) problem scenario would be if a new strain with a higher transmission rate takes over more quickly than we can get folks vaccinated, (e.g., what is being reported in the UK),
