Since you're not an American, I'm curious where you get your information. Here in the United States the states have their own rights. Of the top ten states for per capita deaths, eight have Democrat governors. Some of those Democrat governors decided to place COVID-positive patients into facilities with the elderly, killing thousands. New York government agencies are even fighting the release of information about their actions regarding the nursing homes. Democrat officials in multiple states encouraged people to attend large gatherings in Asian neighborhoods to "fight racism" when the pandemic was getting started. So it goes far beyond being "rude to some people". Both sides have made huge mistakes, and it appears that the foreign press is giving one side a pass.

According to JHU, for confirmed cases (not deaths, as in your comment): AZ (#3), FL (#5), MS (#8), AL (#9), SC (#10). (50/50) In approx. another week, GA (currently #11) will probably also become #10. I've been deriving this data from the JHU data (which is on GitHub) myself for a while now: https://imgur.com/a/RpjEm9Z https://imgur.com/a/RpjEm9Z ; the full chart is remarkably busy, and not that great. I mean to try to clean it up into something more usable, but I've been swamped with my day job all week. I expect deaths will generally follow in the coming weeks, regrettably. There might be some variance, of course, between states in deaths-per-captia, and that is a graph I've been meaning to make (since that might show something interesting about which states are better dealing with infections), especially after Chris Wallace's interview with Trump, and the remarks the President made there. Apparently LA (#1) has a Democrat. Huh.
