I was interested in the numbers from covid.cdc.gov

Theses are 7-day metrics for positive cases. - California: 59,487 - Florida: 179,586 - Massachusetts: 49,628 - New York: 93,309

Case numbers are meaningless for comparisons between states due to inconsistencies in testing. If you want to make a valid comparison then look at hospitalizations and deaths, then adjust for differences in population demographics.
