We’ve been telling you for nearly TWO years that New Jersey has been conflating people hospitalized WITH covid with those actually hospitalized FOR covid.
For example, the 80-year-old on a ventilator was being counted the same as the pregnany mother without symptoms who’s there to deliver a baby.

it’s worse than misleading; it’s been a contributing factor to fear and poor decision-making.
Now the Murphy Administration is finally admitting it. Sort of.
On Monday, Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli reported that there are currently 6,075 Covid-19 positive patients in New Jersey hospitals but, of those, only 2,963 are hospitalized primarily for Covid-19.
That’s less than 50%!
