General Discussion

At this point - when you look at the CDC map - pretty much everyone is in red in the new cases for the past 7 days.

They laughed at NJ and NY and our Governors in Q1 and Q2 of last year. We did what we had to do in NJ. We've had a great effort at Vaccination - even though I know Trenton wanted our vaccination rate at 90%. We have prepared for a second round of this, and know what steps need to take place to prevent death.

We also know that there CAN be break through infections.

At this point - we gotta make sure we have all of our tools for preparation at the ready. That means keeping our ventilators, medical staff, and pandemic infrastructure in place.

Because of the selfishness and arrogance of the majority rule in Red States - they are sending us backwards to April 2020.

THEY did this to US. Them.

So when get up to Texas levels of new cases in NJ- we need those pandemic tools and human beings who heal.

All of this to say - not out of my backyard. If Massachusetts wants to help Florida - fine.

But we can't take that risk in NJ which includes the greater nyc area.
