It all depends on where you live. Quite a few counties have very low numbers of infected people, so there's also a low number of deaths. The county I'm in has less than 2 dozen active cases and only 2 deaths out of a population of 180,000. The transmission rate is also about half of that of a big city because people are more spread out.

The media keeps focusing on the situation in the large cities, which is dire, but America is mostly rural areas. Those rural areas are just not seeing a large impact from the virus.
