New York has 4,597 (about half of the US total). Washington has 1,187. Both have smaller populations than California.

California has 652 cases but has a population of 40 million. That doesn’t even put it in the top 10 states for infections per population.

Georgia has 262. Population 10 million.
Illinois has 288. Population 12 million.
Louisiana has 261. Population 4.5 million.
New Jersey has 427. Population 8.8 million.

Connecticut, Massachusetts, Nevada, Wisconsin, and several more because I don’t care to keep doing the math all have a higher percentage of infections per population.
