That means that we are roughly halfway to our goal of — initial goal — of vaccinating 4.7 million individuals. And by the way, more than 1.2 million of those who live, work and study in New Jersey are now fully vaccinated.”

Ridgewood NJ, two surveys from home listing provider Redfin, found that of their more than 1 million users, 27% searched for homes outside densely populated urban areas between April and May of 2020, the highest since they had begun recording migration data.

Reader says ,”Ridgewood needs to upgrade it’s building filtration system to the HEPA grade 5 standard”
