The Somerset County Department of Health has also been notified of 2 COVID-19 related deaths in Franklin. The first individual was 80 years old and passed away on 4/3. The person is counted in today's count (4/5). The second individual was 75 years old and passed away on 4/4. The person was counted in Thursday's count (4/2).

I do not answer questions about location of the positives. I do not have that information. For the reasons why please see my post on March 31

Please see the status map. Due to reporting vs posting time our numbers can vary from the map numbers.

The NYC site has more detailed information on patient demographics. I, along with you, wish it was available for NJ.




Some good news

There's a line from the movie Starman, "You [humans] are at your very best when things are worst." Here's an example.

Hearing there were masks available in China I thought the YingHua International School in Kingston might have some connections. I contacted the head of the school and she put out feelers. One response was from the family of these young ladies with some masks for the town's first responders.

They are a continent and an ocean away but they reached out to help. They didn't have to but they did. This is us at our best.
