The Northeastern states actually shut down. They're now under 50 new cases per day per 1 million people. Their deaths are mostly flat (just slightly increasing) at this point. And I suspect a lot of that is now being imported.
The Southeastern states didn't do crap. They're mostly all above 200 new cases per day per million.
Then you have states like California that kinda/sorta shutdown. They're scattered about 100 new cases per day per million.
We could have stopped this. We could have been flat in number of deaths as of June 1 like most of the European countries.
But we didn't.
Instead, we're on the same trajectory as "shithole" (to borrow the MAGA terminology) countries like Brazil, India, and Mexico.
And, now states like Louisiana, Mississippi, and Arizona are on a trajectory to cross over states like Rhode Island, Connecticut and Massachusetts in terms of number of deaths per million.
And the economy is in a shambles anyway. So, lots of people died, and we got nothing for it.
