The decision to require masks is an about-face from just a few weeks ago when Murphy said it would take a “deterioration” of COVID-19 data to require masks. Murphy’s spokesperson Mahen Gunaratna confirmed that the governor planned to announce the requirement.. The seven-day rolling average of new cases climbed over the past two weeks from 512 on July 20 to 1,104 on Tuesday, according to Johns Hopkins University.
It’s unclear whether any of New Jersey’s roughly 600 school districts will be permitted to depart from Murphy’s expected order on Friday. New Jersey was an early hotspot in March 2020, and the state’s positive cases and hospitalizations haven’t reached the high levels they did early on in the outbreak, but they’re higher than they were a few months ago as vaccinations became more widely available.
No kidding. Covid morphed into Delta & the situation deteriorated. So for all those people who will cry and say, 'but you said' they can resume their village idiot duties & read a science book. Governor Murphy has provided steady leadership during a terrible crisis. Murphy
That's because there has been a deterioration of covid status.
Child abuse.
NJ officials and journos continue to conflate of Covid cases (not so important) with of Covid hospitalizations (very important). Avg daily of Covid deaths in NJ (4) is now about the same as average influenza/pneumonia deaths in a normal year (~2% of total 75K deaths).
BivingsDoris I'm good with that and so is my son.
Let’s go
I don't care if they have to wear tutus on their heads as long as they are IN SCHOOL... l
Hope it's not too late, but at least its refreshing to see some governors recognize that circumstances can change and pig-headed rigidity can be deadly.
So it's not a reversal at all. There HAS been a deterioration of COVID-19 data, so he's doing exactly what he said he would do.
So not really a reversal, more along the lines of him doing what he said he'd do. Jesus Christ
Why do you call it a reversal when he’s doing exactly what he said he would do?
delta = deterioration
