This is an ever evolving situation and we will continue to provide important information. Help us to share facts, not fear. Help us flatten the curve; stay home.
has anyone tried to study why some town have so many cases and some have very few?
for all the hullabaloo in Ridgewood we have a lot of cases ????
Hackensack is not surprising but Paramus is on fire….unless that includes the Veteran’s Home.
What Some of us find puzzling is right here in Ridgewood we have local confusion going on from department to department. Some departments are Utilizing all the covid protection Gear. And some are not. We had multiple departments shut down for weeks on end individuals testing positive. What is going on who’s overlooking this. The Board of Health should be monitoring each department in the village. Obviously some just don’t care. But most of us do. We do not wanna get sick.
It’s 2021 and all we get is raw totals.
You would think there is plenty of other data available to enable the reader to draw some conclusions.
But the Government only tells you what the Government wants you to know.
I just don’t understand some individuals think this is still a joke. This is no joke this is been going on since March 2020 , but back in March so many of us just didn’t understand what kind of virus this was or is. And now a new strain of this coming, not good, so many crazy symptoms, you could have all the symptoms and test negative. Or you could have No symptoms at all and test positive go figure. Or just be a carrier. It’s crazy that’s why please if you’re not feeling well do you notice something different go get checked out don’t be a fool. Way too many people dying.
Wake the heck up .
And. Clean your hands.
How many more schools are closed until March.
Overblown response and used as a political club to bludgeon citizens into submission and increase political power.
