This table shows the infection rate (cases per million population) for the top 10 states, and the rate relative to NY. Data is current as of today (3/28). Raw data source is:

Makes you wonder what's going on in Colorado and Vermont, they're just not the same grade as the others. Surprised Florida is not on there with all the travel and tourists through there.
New York 1.000 New Jersey 0.463 Louisiana 0.220 Washington 0.178 Massachusetts 0.172 DC 0.157 Michigan 0.135 Connecticut 0.135 Colorado 0.111 Vermont 0.109
The states at the bottom of the list are probably ones with few people per square mile making infection less likely. Or places where people just don't like each other so they just don't get close.

One of the biggest factors isn't peoples' behaviour affecting transmission, but the number of travelers (from inside and outside rthe region) who seeded it all.
Regions with a high infection rate are places with a lot of travelers, at least in the early stages.

I think you may be confusing infection rate with infection counts. High in fection counts mean those places were seeded earlier or with higher numbers which is related to travel. Infection rates have to so with the rate of t ransmission of the infection within the country. That becomes independent of travel related infection very quickly.
At this point, even Trump recognizes that we have a serious problem. Troub le is he has no idea what to do about it and simply knows he needs to keep the economy from tanking. I don't think he can do that at this point, afte r having delayed too long. Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.

Yes, that's a fair criticism. Here in Sydney, ignorant people are pointing to the prosperous regions being more severely affected and claiming it's because rich people are dickheads who won't lock down. In fact of course, rich people travel more, and live in nice places that other travelers like to visit.
More infected visitors -> more people in more "trees" of infection.
No, the trouble is that he thinks it's not *his* problem. The only problem he recognises is that it's getting less likely that he'll be re-elected.
I'm not so sure of that. His popularity seems to be rising in the polls. He's over 45% which is a high water mark for him other than right after the election.
Once things really hit the fans with hospitals overwhelmed and dysfunctional for nearly all medical care, maybe things will change in that regard.
I wish this wasn't the thing that brought him down. This is going to be nearly as bad as the Spanish flu.

The infection rate is the number of cases / population * 1,000,000. So, it is 52,318 / 19,440,469 * 1,000,000 = 2,691. The relative rate is 2,691 / rate per state, which is much easier to understand than the other way around. That was intentional. NY's rate is 58 times worse than the lowest rate, Nebraska. Thus, it is NY's rate relative to every other state.
So, Texas is one of the most populist states. While much of it is wide open, there are large cities (Dallas, Houston). What Texas doesn't have is a lot of mass transportation.

Everyone who has COVID-19 in the US got it from someone else, so that is a tautology. No, I didn't confuse counts with rates; infection rates are comp uted as counts / population. Thus, some states with smaller populations (CT , CO and VT) can have high infection rates.
Pres. Trump has a VERY GOOD idea what to do about COVID-19, which is based on the opinions of the VERY BEST experts in the world. Protecting the peopl e's safety and countries economy is a delicate balancing act between these two goals. I understand that there are people such as yourself who will NEV ER admit that Pres. Trump has done ANYTHING right, but so be it. His presid ency WILL be judged by his performance during this crisis, as it should be.
He's over 45% which is a high water mark for him other than right after t he election.

45.8%. As I've said earlier, there's no such thing as bad publicity, and th e people who approve of him have to be stupid, so they won't notice how tho roughly he has screwed up.
nal for nearly all medical care, maybe things will change in that regard.
nearly as bad as the Spanish flu.
It shouldn't be. China and South Korea have demonstrated two different ways of ensuring that is isn't. If Trump has wrecked the US administration thor oughly enough that the US can't make either work, you probably need to rip up the system and start over, if the debacle isn't bad enough that Canada h as to move in to tidy up the smoking remnants.
