“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.
Total cases w/out U.S.: 13.45 million
Total deaths w/out U.S.: 535K
Total population w/out U.S.: 7.47 billion

Cases/1K w/out U.S.: 1.8
Deaths/1K w/out U.S.: 0.07

U.S. cases/1K: 14.5
U.S. deaths/1K: 0.48

We have 8x the avg. case rate & 6.9x the avg. mortality rate.
"LOOKIN' GOOD, CHIEF!"
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
