As explained in the charts: the absolute basket case of the U.S. response to the COVID19 pandemic continues to take its costly toll:
Note: there are some quirks in the data, including due to revisions of cases and deaths, as well as due to differences in reporting timings. I use ECDC data that itself relies on confirmation of global data from the Johns Hopkins University database, as well as CDC and other databases.
In the charts above, I track the dates of the earliest imposition of lockdowns in the EU (case of Italy) and the U.S. (starting with California). In terms of both deaths and cases, the U.S. is currently running (daily and 7-day moving averages) at much higher rates of the pandemic than the rates that triggered the lockdowns.
