Using that mentality, our least populated states would have the best action by their governors.
I don't think you understand statistics. Comparing deaths per 1000 equalizes the population differences between states.

Connecticut has a population of about 4 million and death rate per 1000 of 37

Florida (22 million) and California (39 million) have death rates of 3 per 1000.
