Fairfield County, CT has 0.77 deaths per 1000[0] which far exceeds Stockholm despite having far less population density. New Orleans also falls short and has 0.78 deaths per 1000. The US is a big country, so I think it's a mistake to look at the whole country's infection curve rather than regional infection curves. Some areas have not yet been hit hard by the virus because their region was not hit first. Hopefully with adequate public health measures their curves will never match NYC or adjacent regions. It's also worth noting that the death curve probably has a 2-3 week lag behind the infection curve. At a 2 week doubling rate, even if you miraculously came out with a vaccine tomorrow and immunized the whole population you would still have yet to experience half of all deaths from the disease.
