No state had an optimal viral mitigation strategy. The optimal strategy being impractical or even impossible. Densely populated places that would have acted flippantly would have been much worse. Densely populated places with mixed unit housing had hurt themselves with the strategy they chose. So basically California and New York could just barely keep numbers as close to Florida numbers by locking down hard. The methods California and New York chose could have been even more optimized, but not possible for a US government to do.
