IMO not really fair comparison. NYC hub travel of the world. IMO Since traveling spread the virus course majority cities across the world are affected more. Also I O Plus the smaller populated area had heads up what was coming and was better prepared.

If you total the three New York airport movements together, then NY is the busiest hub

We are going by death rate per states here.

Total traffic at JFK and La Guardia is 45 million, if you want to count Newark, which is in New Jersey that's a total of 67 million.

Atlanta alone has 52 million

Florida airports
Orlando 23 million
Miami 21 million
Ft Lauderdale 18 million
Tampa 10 million

Total 72 million

And how many are foreign travelers, no way knowing who was infected on plane, how many they infected, and there final stopping point, NYC metro area probably biggest hub for foreign travelers. Plus closely populated are more at risk. NYC could of never planned or seen what was coming. Even when Seattle and Portland was first hit, it was already spreading in NYC. Orlando and any other major hub.

It one takes one Person infected to eventually get to every part of the country if they traveled and was infected

According to National Travel and Trade organization, incoming foreign travelers by airport in 2019

Miami MIA 404,268
New York JFK 382,690

Orlando MCO 130,118
Newark EWR 117,656

Don't see La Guardia, Tampa, Ft Lauderdale in their stats but it's well known Florida gets more tourism than New York. I believe we are #2 after California.

I'm trying to figure out what the 5 worst states have in common.

I can't help but wonder if we hadn't pretty much wasted the whole month of February, in getting ready at the national level...would we still be leading the world in cases?

Since I grew up in New Mexico and still have business interests and friends there I am following the Wuhan virus in that state. The urban Albuquerque area has the most cases. Nine assisted living facilities located around the state contain significant percentages of infected residents and employees. The rural counties are all but untouched. What that tells me is that the density of a population has a lot to do with the chance of becoming infected.

Also population centers having high percentages of people who travel for business and personal reasons have relatively high infection rates.

Using the OP's logic, I suppose it stands to reason that the country with the highest number of infections indicates how well that country's administration has handled the crisis.

Yep, that's the way I read it too.

So then the governors of Arkansas etc are doing the best job ever!

I think that some governors were facing much more challenging circumstances than others.
