The bump in coronavirus cases is most pronounced in states without stay at home orders. Oklahoma saw a 53% increase in cases over the past week, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. Over same time, cases jumped 60% in Arkansas, 74% in Nebraska, and 82% in Iowa. South Dakota saw a whopping 205% spike. The remaining states, North Dakota, Utah and Wyoming each saw an increase in cases, but more in line with other places that have stay-at-home orders. And all of those numbers may very well undercount the total cases, given a persistent lack of testing across the US.

I think it may be possible for New York, but one of the main reasons is that NY has been on the brink of disaster with their health care for a long while. Even so, the surge capacity that was built for New York, still has not been used. So this doesn't seem to have been a capacity problem, which means flattening the curve would not have decreased the number of deaths, because the problem was not resources, but rather too many elderly and unhealthy people with compromised immune systems that made them more susceptible to this virus. In addition, the community spread appears to 20-30 times what was originally thought due to how fast this virus spreads. So the rational part of me says, this was a rocket that we would have never caught, even if Cuomo had acted a month earlier. The virus was going to spread fast, regardless. It's a conundrum.
