There is no end in sight for the stay-at-home order in New Jersey. It comes as the coronavirus outbreak is now blamed for the deaths of more than 6,000 people across the state.
The state-at-home order has been in place across New Jersey since March 21.
Fox reports that this afternoon, Gov. Phil Murphy explained the steps that he says need to take place to reopen the state.
“To move out from under this order we will need to see, at least, a sustained reduction in the number of new positive COVID-19 test results, new COVID-19 hospitalizations, and other metrics,” Murphy said. He said that there needed to be a 14-day trend of reduced cases before any reopening could take place.
Under expanded testing, Murphy said that the rate of testing would need to at least double in the state. He said that would not happen before the end of May.
He then said that a decision on what would happen with schools would not be announced until May 15th. Read more at Fox.

Murphy didn’t say anything ridiculous but he is a politician so he doesn’t want to tie himself down to anything. In a situation like this one you never know how the winds will be blowing in a few weeks, you never know what new developments there will be so you just give a general outline.That way whatever happens you take credit for how your administration handled, foresaw etc.
He’s waiting for positives to go down, BUT the problem is that they are increasing testing capacity so of course there will be more positives!!!
Indefinitely because they’re hoping that it will still take a very long time for President Trump and other world leaders to eradicate the invisible enemy the Deep State / Cabal corona criminals.
This has nothing to do with public health, just a fascist bacchanalia by mediocre jerks who came to power over other human beings. It is a blatant violation of the rights guaranteed by the US Constitution, which no one can legally suspend. The only exception is the right of the President of the US to suspend Habeas Corpus in extreme emergencies. Trump didnot suspend habeas corpus, and State Governments have no authority to take away Federal Constitutional rights. Basically, Democratic trigger-happy governors are fascist criminals, some Republican governors maybe too, though to a much lesser extent.
The only thing this government-imposed “quarantine” of healthy people(first in the annals of human history) accomplishes are artificial shortages and general destruction of people’s lives. Meanwhile, these measures don’t really stop the spread of the virus, just kill the economy while most people don’t have the will or the resources to comply and therefore continue the spread, or put it on ice in case of mass compliance, so that it will pickup where it left and the pandemic will continue its course, once the inevitable opening will be forced due to the reality of technical impossibility of keeping people under house arrest for a year until vaccine becomes available (vaccine itself may become useless overnight, once new strains mutate).
If they were really serious about beating covid-19 with minimal lose of life, they would isolate all the vulnerable, while letting the epidemic burnout its course through the young and healthy. After a few months of such a treatment, most young and healthy people would acquire the immunity with almost no casualties, the economy would not be stopped but would keep on producing goods and services that we need, and the vulnerable would be relatively safe to come out once the herd immunity is reached.
This entire shutdown has nothing to do with stopping the disease – it is a purely a political exercise, and it is a crime against humanity. All those who promote/enforce this “lockdown” are either criminals or fools. Perhaps some are a combination of both.
