NJ 2021 10 09

 Here we go with another week. Given that we have nearly 90% either already infected or vaccinated we really should be asking; who are these people getting sick and by what means! But alas it is election year here in NJ and the officials seem more clueless than ever. 2 people die each day in LTC, death rates are 2% for others. 

First the demographics. Blacks still are slow on vaccinations. Infections may cluster there but there is not data to verify that.

 

Nationally we still see an infection incidence normalized which is perhaps decreasing.
Vaccinations are increasing nationally but not a great deal.
County and town doubling times are increasing
Incidence is still around 80 per 500,000 people but since only about 50,000 are vulnerable it is a ten times higher rate! Why?
Town prevalence is low but still existing.
Deaths prevail. The LTC issue should be a concern but it seems no one cares!
County incidence it flat. Why?
State incidence is also flat
Doubling times are also flattening.
