its probably better to compare covid19 measures by country, seeing as how inter mixing of the states and no travel ban kinda created a patchwork in the USA that turned kinda into a average, rather that distinct chunks.
norway and sweeden, very similar countries in demographics, weather, social order, healthcare systems, etc but very different approaches to covid19, and lets take a look.
Sweden:
population: 10 million
Cases: 892k
deaths: 13.7k
Norway:
Population: 5 million
Cases: 105k
Deaths: 707. not 707 thousand, 707 total
so even adjusted for population, norway was about 4-5x better place to be during covid than sweden. largely due to norways early and much more effective lockdowns compared to sweden.
