“With the exception of Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, & Wisconsin...”
FWIW, there's ~200 countries nationally, and over half of them have a case rate below 1.5 per thousand residents.
Every U.S. state & territory has a higher case rate than that except American Samoa & the Northern Mariana Islands.

"What about *mortality* rates, though?"
Well over half of countries have a COVID19 mortality rate below 0.04 per thousand.
Every U.S. state & territory is higher than that except Alaska, Hawaii, N. Mariana Islands, Guam & American Samoa.

CORRECTED TRUMP TWEET:
"With the exception of every state & territory besides Alaska, Hawaii, N. Mariana Islands, Guam & American Samoa, we’ve done MUCH better than most other Countries in dealing with #COVID19!"
That doesn't roll off the tongue quite as well, I suppose.

Updated through August 2nd.
The red states now have a 5% *higher* case rate than the blue states.
The blue states still have 2.3x as high a mortality rate than the red states...except that was 3x higher on 7/15 and 4x higher on 5/22.

#FunFact: At their current trajectories (which could obviously change for better or worse), the red states are on course to equal the blue states in *deaths* per capita by right around Christmas. #HappyHolidays
