Here is yesterday's total of Confirmed Cases by State and DC. Since some states may have more cases because they have more people, and visa versa, I then put the Case Count on a standardized Cases per 100,000 people basis, so you can do a proper comparison. I also list the rank of each municipality by the Confirmed Cases and Cases per 100k so you can more closely examine the differences.

While New York looks like the worst place to be, DC with it's massive rank differential may be a close second. The top of the bad are New York, New Jersey, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Washington, District of Columbia, Michigan and Connecticut. The best place to be seems like North Carolina, Texas, and Virginia due to their rank differential in a positive way (i.e., lower adjusted rank vs population rank). The best of the good are Nebraska, West Virginia, Texas, South Dakota, Minnestoa and Virginia.
