NJ 2022 01 15

 We are now well into the new year and perhaps the peak from the Holidays is abating in new cases but deaths are now exploding again. That is, if we believe any of the numbers. So let's start.

The town doubling time is reaching a critical low. Infections spread like wildfire. Given the use or misuse of at home kits this data has become useless. 

The prevalence means that almost one in 10 people in the town are currently active carriers. It appears that no Public Health officials give a damn.
The incidence is still high especially in the County.
The doubling times are almost all in double digits. The 200 level has been breached.
The state incidence appears to have peaked and is going down.
The County not so much.
BUT, deaths are exploding again. The rates are very low but the total infected is the driver.
Finally LTC deaths are up again. I thought we solved this problem! Thanks Gov, just party on now that you got elected.
