You will see that no single state except LA looks like that, they all look like the Germany graph.
The graph is simply the result of adding several time-shifted graphs together. Basally some US states had a delay before getting hit hard by the virus.
Everyone is like Europe good US bad hurr hurr hurr. But actually the US is simply lagging behind Europe. States they were hit early and done, states that were not are starting their ramp up now.
If you look closely you can actually see the virus spreading from East to West (and South) - notice the Eastern states had their cases and done, and now the Western and Southern states are starting.
Did we look at the same graphs ? There are like 5 states which are post peak, 15+ in very high increase, and the rest is beginning to rise.

The first cases were reported more or less at the same time in every state or close enough that it doesn't explain the lags.
