Michigan isn't a hot spot

[audiophile]

New cases are up 77% in Arizona, 75% in Michigan, 70% in Texas and 66% in Florida.

Of course anyone can make things look bad with stats but here is the bigger picture:

It looks to me that Michigan is leading the pack, as compared to our border states, in the Deaths Per 100k category. To be fair, Ohio, Indiana and Wisconsin don't have major metro areas like Michigan, but we are leading Illinois 61.2 to 54.7 too.

Interestingly, Texas (with two large metro areas) has a death rate of 7.8 per 100k compared to Michigan's 61.2. Florida checks in at 15.4 and California at 14.2.

Did our over the top lock-down not work as well as less draconian measures in other states? Or, did our death rate become higher than many because of sending infected people to nursing homes?

Or were states like Texas not hit all that hard until right now thus skewing the numbers?

AZ, TX, and FL, as well as CA, are all in the thousands per day. Michigan hasn't had a day with over 400 new cases since late May (and that is taking into account an effort to test every nursing home resident and employee).

It also seems like states that never issued stay-home orders (rural Plains states mostly) or waited to issue them (northeast and Midwest states) are faring better now.

Michigan has plenty of hospital capacity. I saw that there were nearly 4,000 COVID hospitalizations in mid-April and under 400 COVID hospitalizations today
