The US average among states is 2579. Texas 2639. Vermont and Hawaii have done best at 772 and 773.

Now do NY, NJ, MI, PA, and MD. Yeah, thought so.

The Worldometers chart has a column for deaths/million population. You can see it yourself.

PA is 2899 (better than FL)
NY is 3111 (worse than FL)
NJ is 3288 (worse than FL)
MI is 2970 (worse than FL)
MD is 1984 (much better than FL)

Not sure what case you were trying to make.
