I thought we were supposed to be there already.

@jShort apparently the number of people tested in NJ is embarrassingly low.

Actually I found it:

How many coronavirus cases have been found in each U.S. state

Using data from the COVID Tracking Project, we’re following how each state is responding to COVID-19.

Honestly that is beyond an embarrassingly small number of people tested.
 
Just got notice that we are considered "critical infrastructure" so regardless of Murphy, back to work suckers. Of course all of the top dogs are working from home "to keep everyone safe". Nice.

Bad data. The website said the negative tests dropped out after 3/16. National average is ~ 90% negative

That’s too easy to just say “bad data” like that. Every other state has reasonable data so why is NJ bad?

I think you’re misunderstanding my point anyway.

Just repeating what has been on this website for days. NJ stopped counting negative tests, so the total number of tests is wrong. I've been following this site for about 10 days now

I can’t imagine why the state would do that but then I’d add it to the long list of stupid shit this state does I guess.

I disagree negative test can go positive negatives are opportunities not fulfilled yet.

someone get a negative then is tested later when admitted into the hospital is positive should they count twice?

So rick, what are you saying is 90% negative, because the way it is tested is tiered. Influenza A and influenza B. if that is negative then a multiplex PCR is given. If that is negative then we test for SARS-CoV-2. This allows us to target testing to those at highest risk for COVID-19. It would make sense to not count the "negatives" if they aren't even getting to the point of being tested for SARS-COV-2.
