A woman in her 50s being treated for coronavirus has died, officials said.
The woman, who died Thursday and was being treated at CentraState Medical Center in Monmouth County, was New Jersey’s second coronavirus-related death, Gov. Phil Murphy said Saturday night in a tweet.
Doctors suspected the patient had coronavirus but were awaiting test results, reports say. Her case was announced during a Friday press conference.
Who was she with..check them out ..who..what..where.. when.. and how..

OCSN04
Ahh it’s you 04!
Greg Bleeker
She died Thursday they tell us today
Paul Yager it was confirmed today
suspected or they knew? she die before testing came back?
Get the whole story before you post this shit
Matt Hopkins
What part(s) are we missing?
Ocean County Scanner News that she had complications beforehand, its reports like this that cause panic for no reason, its being made to look like this virus killed a perfectly healthy person, not true! A unhealthy person with heart lung, etc complications can die by a contracting a common cold. Yes the virus DID play a part, but it was not the main culprit. Why not post about the tens of thousands that have recovered from the virus instead??
Well said
Another example of panic caused by forms of media.all over a virus that in a even somewhat healthy will experience a fever, sore throat ,cough and flu symptoms for a few days. It moves fast and is easily transmitted so yeah, it will find its was to unhealthy people and cause issues much like any viral infection would. More people died from suicide in one day in the U.S. than did by this virus so far. This situation calls for precaution and common sense, not reporting a hyped up apocalypse.
Matt Hopkins Thank you for saying this. You’re completely right. Reading this article, my first reaction was sheer fear and then dread. As someone who works in customer service for a company who refuses to close, I am so scared of bringing this virus home to my mom who is in her 50’s. So reading that a 50-year-old woman in seemingly good health died from it in our county really shook me up for a moment. I needed to read your comment to center myself again. You’re right, what they leave out in these articles and what sends everyone into a panic is the fact that these patients who die have prior health complications. If we heard about the percentage of people who recovered from COVID-19, perhaps the level of panic would be far more manageable.
To quote the movie Jaws ” you yell barracuda,,people say huh what?..you yell shark and you have a panic on your hands”. Thats exactly whats going on. I dont want to sound like im standing on my soap box preaching the media is the devil, but the panic has already been induced, lets hear facts and possible preventive solutions. Unless you own a toilet paper company, there is nothing positive about this situation so lets not make it worse
Matt Hopkins suicide sucks but it’s literally something those people are asking for (which is incredibly sad) I’m not asking to contract a virus and so what if people have an underlying illnesses?? They just are supposed to die, fuck you I have a lot of family members with illnesses. Just stfu you look like a ????
Matt Hopkins please stay home and save some lives.
Matt Hopkins more Americans than not have co-morbidities. Heart disease and lung disease are such broad generalizations and can be as common as high blood pressure and asthma. You don’t know what she had. And you don’t know what co-morbidities all your seemingly healthy 50 year old friends and family have. No one deserves to die. We can all do our part and stay home if not absolutely necessary to be out of the house, wash our hands, and stay away if we’re ill. These people are people, not just news articles. People need to hear how serious this is to actually listen to what needs to be done to contain it.
Ace Arecchi not the point, the way most people would read the post is a perfectly healthy person died from this virus, not true it was a very ill person, the article was designed for more panic
Daniel Vernik good point
Matt Hopkins exactly …. underlying issues??
Matt Hopkins
She was related to the guy from manalapan who tested positive earlier in the week which I read on another page not from the news reports but from a comment
Eileen Rose her brother was the first person to die in NJ
Bette De what are the odds…
Eileen Rose how is he? Yes he was 53 in the hospital Centra State a few days ago I read.
Bette De no he was not. he is alive
the guy that died was a friend of the manalapan man. the woman is his brother.I know them all
Bette De wrong
Underlying medical issue?
Scott Weiler I canceled my appointment.
Centra State isn’t the best hospital so I’ve heard from a couple of nurse friends.
Dorothy Candy She was in Monmouth Medical not Centra State.
Kevin Biermann She was in Centra State as per County Health Officials
Dorothy Candy my 3 yo granddaughter was there today. And they were all wonderful. Finally some answers. She has pneumonia. A specialist read the x Ray’s.
Dorothy Candy well I was born there in 1980 and you’re right, they dropped me on my head a few too many times…
Lynette Wright Hennelly They said the emergency isn’t bad but you don’t want to admitted there.A friend had a heart attack and lives in Freehold.She went there but the family said”We got her the hell out of there.”
Dorothy Candy hope they’re doing better
Lynette Wright Hennelly Thank you and they are doing very well.You would never know she had a heart attack.
Dorothy Candy great news
This is getting a little scary
Cherie L Cox Atcosta scary is the flu each year, thousand die
Scary? No….
Courtney Valentine
What is getting scary is people in the stores going nuts
That’s what I mean getting scary
Also this virus came out of nowhere
Went from 0 to what 70 , i think in one week.
Plus this lady was my age
I also worry about the flu
So yes its getting scary
Cherie L Cox Atcosta now it is?
Everything needs to be shutdown and everyone needs to stay put for at least 21 days.
Donna Petti-Renninger stop with the insanity.. omg. Your putting so much fear into people
Ed Cooper No insanity just truth.
Donna Petti-Renninger ok lol
Donna Petti-Renninger – get a grip
Joe Mufalli See what will happen in 2 weeks.
Donna Petti-Renninger there are too many people in the world anyway ????????????????????????
Donna Petti-Renninger can you see the future? I doubt it. More people survive the virus than die from it. Coronavirus has been around for a long time just a different strain. The flu does the same thing. You probably had the Coronavirus and didn’t even know it! Chill out!
Donna Petti-Renninger I agree
Courtney Valentine Let’s see what happens in a few weeks.
Donna Petti-Renninger yes, let’s see.
Donna Petti-Renninger ok are you going to pay my bills for 21 days
Donna Petti-Renninger are you going to supply everything my baby needs for 21 days
Drew Lawrence Hey listen, I didn’t write the statement to anger anyone. It’s just facts to keep this virus in check and stop the spread.
Donna Petti-Renninger no all you’re doing is spewing bs out of your mouth. If you’re not a doctor or a studied person in specific diseases you don’t need to be telling people how many days they need to stay in their houses. You need to shut your trap and let the proper authorities handle it
Drew Lawrence Ok Drew. Good luck????
Donna Petti-Renninger I don’t need luck I’m not stupid
Drew Lawrence ????
But let me know when you’re going to spread your wealth to keep people in their houses for 21 days because it’s what you recommend
Drew Lawrence ????
Donna Petti-Renninger do you work for the news company? Help spread the word
Donna Petti-Renninger this girl is craaaaaaaazy
Donna Petti-Renninger i agree, if people can try their best to stay in their home or yard for the next few weeks, only go out dor necessities it will help.
Donna Petti-Renninger many will never listen ????
Save yourself!
Yeah, calm down.
Donna Petti-Renninger
How long does it take to get test results for coronavirus?? Says she died while they were waiting for results. WTH?! What makes the whole thing scary is that we get conflicting reports DAYS after shit happens and nothing concrete. Like the experts are still WORKING on it, still trying to figure it out. ????
Carolyn Schnatter preliminary testing comes back in 24 hours. CDC testing takes 4 days
Jamie Hallam CDC is now taking much longer than 4 days.
Carolyn Schnatter I had a friend call Urgentcare by her to inquire about testing because she felt she had some symptoms and she was informed that they did not do coronavirus testing and they told her no one in ocean county was equipped to do testing for it. Not sure of the validity of the statement from the employee, but this was the information she was given.
Alex Davila I have had symptoms since Tuesday, and I have an auto immune disorder.
I have spent the last 3 days on the phone trying to get tested. Called my PCP, the NJ Coronavirus Hotline, my local health department (who called the state in my behalf), my PCP a second time, Ocean County Health Department , the CDC, 9th District Assembly Office, our Congressman… and the NJ Hotline again today.
DENIED!!!
Christine Hubal Good lord, I am so sorry to hear that. My best friend told me today that she contacted her local Urgentcare about testing because she had respiratory symptoms and she has two young children, so she wanted to take precautions and get tested. Their response to her was that they don’t do COVID-19 testing and that no facility in Ocean County were equipped to do so. I was shocked! Here we are panicking and being told to prepare ourselves for the worst and yet there aren’t even tests available?! I truly wish you the best, I wish I had advice to give but it seems like you’ve already contacted everything I would’ve suggested. They really failed us on this one.
Thank you Alex! Best wishes to your friend as well! Yes, this is an EPIC fail!
The criteria to be tested as of 3/12 was the following: If you have recently traveled to China, South Korea, Italy, or Iran….or if you knowingly had contact with someone diagnosed with COVID19.
It was updated today to include:
1. People who are currently hospitalized
2. Health Care Providers that have been in contact with a laboratory confirmed case and are ill
3. People who are in residential settings such as nursing homes and long term care facilities, and are presenting symptoms
4. Individuals identified in outbreak clusters by state and/or local health officials
Immunocompromised is not on the list. I even informed them all that I traveled to Mexico mid February – and ended up in the ER upon my return due to feeling ill. Traveled to Florida last weekend.
They are not testing symptomatic people ????
Christine Hubal I have all the symptoms to and have auto-immune disorder. Went to doc, got steroids, antibiotics and eye drops for eye infection. No need to to get tested for C-19 unless you’re PCP thinks you have it & recommends to
The people/media hyping this up has gotten people crazy over this!
To another poster, you don’t go get tested just because you have respiratory symptoms and want to “take precautions”! Good Lord half the country would be getting tested! There is no “fail” on their end.
Stacey Humbert Soden Sorry, I disagree. If you have legit symptoms for several days, you should be tested.
I’ve come in contact with many people recently. If I happen to be positive, those that were around me could be infected, asymptomatic…. and spreading it to others.
Epidemiology 101
All symptomatic people should be tested.
Christine Hubal I heard they will only test if you presented with difficulty breathing
Christine Hubal you have to see you’re doctor period. Every person that has a symptom (in allergy season no less) wants to get a test there would be no tests left! They are NOT GOING to test you if you have a symptom
I’m sorry, what medical degree do you have again Stacey?
Carolyn Schnatter from what I’ve been told, your friend is correct. Tests are not physically here. You will be tested if you go to the hospital and show symptoms. Depending on how ill you are you’re either sent home quarantined until results are back or you’re admitted to help with your symptoms until feeling better.
Carolyn Schnatter my friend is waiting for his test result. was told 2-4 days
Janette Lisa I do have difficulty breathing. Dry persistent cough, chest pains, and fatigue. No sinus issues, no runny nose, no sneezing. Plus traveled to Mexico & Florida within the last few weeks. As of yesterday, still denied.
Stacey Humbert Soden I don’t have allergies…never have. I don’t have “a” symptom. I have ALL the symptoms.
I just read that the are opening up a testing site in Bergen County this week …. and anyone who is symptomatic can get tested
Christine Hubal I understand brick hospital tested and is treating a patient there. Hope everything turns out well for you ????????
Kevin Karlick You dont need a medical degree to realize that there are not enough testing kits and thats why they are authorizing only severe cases to be tested. You can thank all those folks in high places spending a solid month shouting this was a political hoax after dismantling the entire epidemic/ pandemic preparedness team from CDC to “cut the budget”. If you have symptoms, do what your doctor advises. As far as who you have been in contact with, its much too late to prevent spread- just advise them best you can that you have symptoms and let them contact their doctors for advice -thats all you can do. Preventing the spread- it aint gonna happen. That should have been done weeks ago when it could have made a difference. Just ask Italy.
Adele Marie your information is incorrect. The epidemic team was and is not equipped to handle this magnitude. The new protocols set forth could only be attained by declaring a nation emergency. Setting the plan has been on going since early January, less than 2 weeks from the first reported cases. The only thing that deterred the Americans from knowing what was happening was the media obsession with impeachment . The hoax was China trying to cover the seriousness, the msm lack of reporting until the impeachment failed in February. This administration was busy resetting a way to address the situation long before anyone knew what was happening. Can’t work much faster than that.
Alex that’s not true I work in a hospital here in south jersey and they are testing people and putting them in isolation prob is people are coming in for a silly cough no fever ect in panic or patients that have been in there and just want tested because they are scared ????cant waste tests on everyone who wants one ????????♀️ people need to take care of themselves like they’d do if they had the flu or a cold and stay home. I’ve seen these patients and trust me the flu patients even pneumonia look and feel much worse it’s media hype
Nichole Astegher okay…well as I said in my comment, I wasn’t sure of the validity of the employees statement. I was merely reiterating what I was told. And there are other people in this thread who have had similar interactions with healthcare professionals. Just because your facility is testing does not mean all facilities in South Jersey are testing, as even the governor has confirmed a shortage of tests. You’d think for someone who works in healthcare, you’d have a little more compassion toward patients ???? what you fail to realize is that some people want to be tested as a preventative measure because they show symptoms and have small children or elderly people they live with. While I agree a lot of this is media hype, I think especially as a healthcare professional, as you proclaim to be, maybe handling things with a bit more compassion or empathy for individuals would help. I think in your line of work they call that bedside manner. ????
Alex I work in the hospital nowhere did I claim to be a nurse or dr ???? and I’m very nice to the patients but I see more than most. And there is a shortage that’s why they won’t test everyone just because they want to know. ????????♀️ I have 4 kids and can’t just be tested because I’m around it more than most and I’m not bitching
Donna Fusilli Hack The only thing deterring the American people from knowing what was happening was FOX NEWS and the Trump administration screaming for weeks that the coronavirus was a political hoax created by the left to take down Donald Trump. We have eyes we have ears and no matter what kind of dumbass spin you want to push, truth is you cant spin what we saw and heard with our own eyes. Newsflash- This virus is bi-partisan. We are people for God sakes. This is not political. Its life and death for a great number of people particularly the aged. Corona Virus – Kinda gives new meaning to population control.
Adele Marie don’t be a hater. This has been brought upon the people by China. They hid it from WHO for months while it spread. This administration jumped on the issue immediately. Check the actual timeline of events that have occurred from the onset in every country. The media is a hoax or they would have ceased their pathetic coverage of a bs impeachment trial, wasting my money for an agenda they would never win. When they lost, they turned their attention to pretending to care about you, using every opportunity to blame Trump. The hell with the regulations and protocols the administration had to work with, the orange man suddenly needed to be a magician and defy regulations. If you are paying attention, the national emergency was called, after a plan, that started in less than 12 days after the first case was reported. Can’t work any faster than that. P.S. we will leave population control to the baby killers.
I include this link for your education, which is under par, I assume due to your blind hatred.

Donna Fusilli Hack OMG Donna just take a seat or better yet go to a Trump rally and enjoy the “hoax virus” you and your ilk don’t believe is real. Girl bye.
Don’t be a hater your entire life. Or at least, stop making a liberal fool of yourself. Prepare yourself for another 4 years. ????????. Feel the Bern? ????
Every Town should be Quarantined like Teaneck
Esther Colando good f’ing God stop fear mongering!! That’s ridiculous
Stacey Humbert Soden Stop putting your head in the sand it’s not fear mongering you dimwit
Frank yes it is
Just don’t get all the panic. When cancer has killed so many more people per day.
Jr Smith last time i checked u cant catch cancer ????????
Jr Smith talk about comparing apples to potatoes
Jr Smith Cancer has treatment. It may not always help, but there is treatment. This virus has no treatment.
Jr Smith the panic is people not taking the fact of how contagious it is and how lethal it can be to some people. Those morons think its a joke and travel and spread it. Once the person is infected not much you can do for them.
Ummm this virus has treatment or everyone would die.. its called threating it like the flu.. hydrate…get sleep and let it run its course…
Donna Petti-Renninger no virus can be treated with antibiotics. Only bacterial infections.
Courtney Valentine I didn’t say that they can be treated.
Jr Smith what a stupid comment. Cancer is not contagious. Wtf . Use a little common sense.
Agree with you
Tara Marie Gianna Perillo
ugh
Ami Donegan Sarah 50’s!

Kathii Maria Schattner
Prayers for her family and those sick she knew… Rest In Peace. People just listen to what they told us to do.
Thank you
Dawn Higgins you are welcome!and prayers for you and yours!

She was too young to die from this she must have had other health issues. I feel bad for her family
Thank you
Michelle Glover Hulse
50 is not old. She must have had underlying health issues. ????
Michele Scivoletti Andrews most have , I’ve seen people half my age look like they could drop dead if they ran fifty feet.
Michele Scivoletti Andrews she did
Kathii Maria Schattner Maria Schinski Curtis Lively Jamar Lively Alisea Black
So she was being treated for corona virus but never confirmed she had it….????????????????
the laugh is on you now. it was confirmed last night
Dawn Higgins why post she died before they knew for sure? Media at it again…
Vince Ciulla exactly and this is why people say stupid shit
Up to 56,000 people die each year of the flu. C-19? Maybe 55 so far in the US to date. (It’s a virus, of course it will spread.) The main people who need worry are those that are 60 and older who ALSO have underlying medical issues. So far OC has 1 or 2 confirmed cases yet people are hoarding TP!!
For the people spreading fear mongering posts/replies, the media thanks you. You’re doing their job for them ????
Just use common sense, wash hands, don’t touch face etc …
it’s allergy/cold season, use you’re head and try to stay out of ER unless you have spoken on the phone with medical field and they recommend you go.
I don’t have money to stay put or get shut down
I literally live pay check to. Pay check
But you can’t die from this unless your in your 80s! Facebook told me!
Andrew Limone fyi that’s untrue, I’m in my 50s and have lung issues and asthma people with any respiratory disease , heart conditions, diabetes, kidney diseases are all at risk of this virus at any age. But for normal healthy people they say 60 plus should worry. ???????? Stay safe!
Why are you saying she died of corona virus before she even tested positive for it?! ????♀️????♀️????♀️????♀️
“Doctors suspected the patient had coronavirus but were awaiting test results,” Maybe before they post this they need to confirm or deny the cause of death as it seems they are just making an educated guess. we don’t need more hype and panic.
It’s suspected she had it not even confirmed . Relax with this stupid Virus ????
You paying my bill?? Taking care of my elderly parents? No I don’t think so.. So there for I’ll go out and work, shop like I normally do. Until told otherwise.
hopefully you don’t catch it and give it to your “elderly parents” SMH
You say being treated for virus, died from the virus, but waiting for test results. Who ever wrote the article should read the article before you print the article you dumb f ck. Stop with the scare tactics.
she was confirmed at 8:11pm it’s very real. I know her
So all of you that are laughing about this………..LAST NIGHT at 8:11pm it was confirmed she did die and had the virus. She did have other health problems. I do know the family. So if you think this is a joke and want to laugh and still have your heads up your asses that this is all a farce….think again. I am in no way saying that you will get it, but it is OUT there and very real. Just try and think of others as you carelessly walk around touching things, not washing your hands, and laughing. No need to panic, but there is the need to be careful. It mostly hurts the elderly and sickly people, but anyone can get it. So please don’t just think of yourselves, think of others too.
Dawn Higgins I’m sorry for your loss. And for having others not take it seriously. 100% agree with you and see your frustration with others making light of it. Be safe????
More misguided info put out by media & healthcare. Wethink she had the virus, but are running tests….how about getting the correct info & all the facts…THEN reporting it instead of adding more fuel to the fire
it came out at 8:11pm last night
Are we gonna hear about everyone who’s died from the flu state by state too?
Did she have underlying health conditions?
What yall fail to realize is that this virus is new to humans & the infection & death rate is alarming. The reason? No vaccine yet. Took centuries from he flu to kill 34 million people. This virus has killed over 5 thousand in a few months & the mortality rate is still climbing, but yall go ahead & think that this virus, which is mutating rapidly as well, is better than the flu.
Michael Howlett Keyword being mutating which it has been since day 1 but not being reported too much. So good luck finding a vaccine for a constantly changing pathogen.
Exactly! Rumor has it China will have a vaccine out by April ????????????????
Why is it so difficult for this state just make everyone stay in their homes for the next two weeks to contain this virus? Instead we close the schools when children aren’t even being affected by this sickness but the rest of us still have go to work and hope and pray we don’t come into contact with someone who has the virus. Makes no sense. Our Governor has done squat to contain this.
Lynn Pereira Rogalny-Nicusanti like big O who did ????
She was suspected but it confirmed. So don’t say she died from it until it is confirmed.
UNDERLYING ISSUES??? No one seems to adhere to that question!
I really havent been on fb since many seem to think this is a Big Joke!!! I am 43 years old just came home from the hospital on Wednesday from having a horrible surgery. The past year has been the worse for me as my family almost lost me from Legionaires Diease it is very rear type of pneumonia and no cure and it scared the leaving shit out of me. Many people have died from it. While in the hospital I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes along with emphysema. Few months later ended back in the hospital and had to have a partial hysterectomy Thank the Lord for amazing doctors cause I probaly would of been gone. I have a 16 yr old who has asthma. This is not a joke I’m petrified if I had to go out.
I thankful they closed our schools because my son can get this or bring it home to me.
Being self contained means nothing cause you can pass it to others. So please think about others before you type etc.
Its scary to people like me and the elderly. Sorry if I offended anyone.
Jennifer Rettino ????????
Tests for positive virus are not out yet
Where is. The rest of the story ? Like what were her previous illnesses ?
but what they didn’t tell you is that she also had lupus
