New York is doing pretty poorly I see. Which is not unexpected, it's a state with some highly crowded urban areas in a nation with a creaky health care system that is deliberately being sabotaged by the highest level of government. It's also highly connected with the outside world, which makes it easy for pathogens to enter the population.
I wouldn't be too surprised if other states other than New Jersey (which is next door to New York and has another crowded urban area right across the river from New York City) are going to see major increases in COVID-19 cases as contagious people travel around due to be being members of the essential labour force.
The Netherlands I see are at only 250 death out of a million. 'Only'. This is partially because the government was somewhat late in responding, partially because just before the measures were enforced there was a major cultural event across much of the Netherlands below the rivers with visitors from everywhere, and partially because Italy is a pretty popular vacation spot for the Dutch, even in the winter as people try to flee the cold. And of course, we can't forget that testing in the Netherlands is not nearly comprehensive enough to give certainty about the numbers we do have.
