Bergen County NJ where I live has a confirmed per capita covid19 rate of 1,666 per 100,000 residents. Looking through the data, we see the following places with rates similar or above that level (all are county level):

Pickaway OH - 2981 per 100k
Seward KS - 2419 per 100k
Ford KS - 1991 per 100k
Blaine ID - 2203 per 100k
Dawson NE - 1923 per 100k
Hall NE - 1663 per 100k
Dakota NE - 3266 per 100k
Nobles MN - 3384 per 100k.
Rockland NY - 3594 per 100k (part of larger NYC metro and has significantly higher per capita rates than adjacent counties including all of NYC itself).

So while fatalities may be slowing in NY, cases are increasing elsewhere and the prevalence continues rising in places far from the coasts.
