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

I do not have information on recoveries. I too have asked that information and I don’t get it.

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

The State dashboard can be found here

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




New Jersey and Somerset County Stats

This and that

From the Freeholder phone conference:

"Parking Lot" gatherings. Somerset County Prosecutor Robertson told us that several people in cars gathering in a lot to commune is no longer allowed.Too many people have been getting out of their cars and have broken social distancing.

After listening to the conference and speaking with Freeholder Director Shanel Robinson I am hopeful we will have a test facility in Somerset County soon. (Predicting government is harder than predicting the virus.) The bottleneck is PPE. Last week the Federal Government confiscated 35,000 PPE.

More comments on the high numbers in Franklin:

Yesterday I posted that the main reason Franklin numbers are high is because a lot of people live here. See this pdf

Today I learned another reason. I called Dr. Reddy, the County Health Officer, because it occurred to me we have a lot of nursing homes and I was concerned the numbers were going up in them. She told me that was not the source of our high numbers. She thinks along with our large population, Franklin residents are getting tested in higher numbers than in other municipalities.

This points out a problem in many of the calculations I perform. Testing criteria differ wildly which can skew the numbers.
