One thing this chart highlights is the unsung success stories among the US states. Some isolated and sparsely populated states are doing quite well: Alaska, Hawaii, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Vermont.

I doubt it's anything to do with different approaches taken by states -- after all Wyoming didn't even have lockdowns until a week or two ago. Nebraska, Iowa, the Dakotas and Arkansas aren't under any form of lockdown at all.
