[QUOTE="Deni D, post: 757238, member: 22840"] I'm in north New Jersey, but north west New Jersey, which seems to be a different world from the hot spot part of north New Jersey. We have been left out of the equation here, because it's been deemed we are not as bad off as the eastern counties in the state, but only because the eastern part has been overwhelmed, not because it's all rosy here. We just got testing here a couple of weeks ago after we made the news for a horrible revelation about a nursing home in our county. Before that we were begging for help from the state representatives up this way, with no response. Until then this area, which has a large number of people who work in NYC and a large number of essential workers and nursing home residents who have been sick, not just the nursing home that made national news (too many who have died) have been mostly ignored. Not because of our numbers (mostly uncounted) but because our numbers are not being counted. If people can breath at all they have not been tested, told the hospital is not someplace they want to be and then sent home. Hopefully they are being tracked to see if they are still alive in their rural homes. All who I have spoken to here are planing to continue to self isolate and pray for our heath care, grocery store, delivery, police and such and hope the idiots who can't stand to be home for a couple more weeks don't come out to our lake and parks and pass it on more. In this area we know the people who are stuck sticking their necks out are still getting sick and have too minimal protection and testing. When I hear the essential workers here have access to the Rutgers fast testing and proper PPE then I'll feel more comfortable about going out myself. [/QUOTE]
