NY, NJ, CT didn't crush the virus.
THE VIRUS CRUSHED THEM.
I do agree that other states didn't wisely is that time to do better though. They had a window of opportunity and took a pass.
ONE OUT OF EVERY SIX.
Even as bad as AZ is doing now, they aren't anywhere near that.
Because IL death rate is 578 deaths per million.
Why is that number significant?
Because that is EXACTLY the death rate ITALY has.
But no one is doing as bad as NY et al. Nobody.
