New Jersey – COVID-19 Online Symptom Checker
THE GOV & AG SAID ITS OK NOTHING TO SEE HERE
Joseph Todaro yup just move along
236 in Lakewood!
Joanne Petitti Filippone I’m sure it’s much higher than that
Joanne Petitti Filippone and it’s being ignored by the governor and his staff.
Joanne Petitti Filippone I hear there are tons of NY license plates in Lakewood. They all came down from the city.
Joanne Petitti Filippone ????
No surprise
236 is the official number .. that’s all I know
Joanne Petitti Filippone 500 next week
Joanne Petitti Filippone and all surrounding towns nearby are all the highest confirmed cases in NJ
Paul Cobra that would be doubled in a day
Ryan Cirelli frightening
Michele Mino
Built a wall around Lakewood
Why didnt you put Lakewood on that list ?
You want to be politically correct too while out healthcare workers are being put at risk.
BLAST THEM ON YOUR POST
Lakewood is on the list, they have 236 cases.
Mike Salimbene
It’s there in the article under “L”
Ocean County Scanner News put it at the head of your title in Big Bold Letters.
They are wreaking havoc on this county and our hospitals
Shocker!
The governor loves Lakehood.
Numbers dont lie wait until election day
WHAT ABOUT LAKEWOOD….SERIOUSLY
Robb Cap
Listen. I’m not that guy to say anything but come on where is law enforcement at this point!!! Seriously!!!
Gary McLain
That’s because no one is listening and not going out. My mom works for Lowe’s and she said they were packed today!
Gerry Little needs to get his head out of his ass and take care of this shit!!! Start arresting people!
more testing = more cases
Kelli Tallman yes and much more will die
Lakewood BULLSHIT
Yes. With Lakewood in the lead.
236 out of the 557 cases from ocean county are in Lakewood . At this point in time we need to question if he’s deliberately allowing them to spread the virus amongst each other ?
do you see how Lakewood is NOT circled!!! OMG this is government controlling the facts and truth!!!
Janice Knapp Poinsett I hope that was sarcasm lol Lakewood is the BIG red circle that covers almost all of ocean county ????
Janice Knapp Poinsett thank you !!!! Someone finally said it
El Capitán It’s gone.
Christina Foggia-Dunn what’s gone ?
Allowing it to spread? Hmm… Lakewood does vote nearly overwhelmingly Republican.
The state website removed the Lakewood circle from the map.
OMG!
Janice Knapp Poinsett they only post numbers by county. No other breakdowns.
Pat Provolone Did they make the rest of the dots bigger? To make up the difference?
Christina Foggia-Dunn nope, 1 dot per county and they put it below Toms River for ocean
What kind of bull crap is that
State site never had a spot for Lakewood. It has one spot for each county and the county seat named
Michael Masucci they had more detailed maps to see where focus areas were. Now it’s basically just a tally.
Pat Provolone all I have ever seen is the tally I guess
Michael Masucci you could see the towns with cases. Now just a sized dot per county based on cases.
This is all I have ever seen
Check out the Ocean County Board of Health website. They list number of cases by town, and update every day (not sure about the weekend).
Bowie Thelonious I knew of double digit cases in Lakewood before the state announced their first case so I don’t think much being put out represents the true numbers. I was just told that local hospitals have hundreds of beds filled ( from someone working there )
OMG LAKEWOOD IS NOT CIRCLED!!!! THIS MAKES Toms River LOOK LIKE Chernobel!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!
Janice Knapp Poinsett Chernobyl.. lmfaooo!!!! I’m still laughing best reply yet!!!
Janice Knapp Poinsett make your own map????????????
Janice Knapp Poinsett State site never had a spot for Lakewood. It has one spot for each county and the county seat named
I just came across this. I’ll leave it up to everyone to have their own opinions on it and not share mine. This is what is being put out there. There are more just like it being fed.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vlNsA84_bAE&feature=youtu.be
Kelly this is from some wacko in Israel…Not Lakewood or the USA.
Melissa Michaelson I know however these videos are passing along to Brick, Toms River and Lakewood. There are several other videos that are sending similar messages to the orthodox/Hasidic communities.
Kelly yes and its causing others to attack their community. It didn’t come from their community. A guy was actually arrested today due to his terrorist threats against them on Facebook. I think we all need to chill for a bit and just focus on ourselves and our own behaviors. This hasidic thing has really just gone to far…
Melissa Michaelson unfortunately there is a sect of peoples that are not following what we are all trying to follow to make sure this virus doesn’t spread. I’m Jewish, just not orthodox or Hasidim. It has nothing to do with being against them, it has to do with every person doing what we are supposed to do. If we as a community have to follow rules, then it is up to the powers that be to educate any person/persons of the severity of this. You say to focus on our own behaviors, I agree.. but anyone not following is actually holding us back and increasing the amount of people getting sick and worse, dying.
Kelly listen I lived in Brick for over 30yrs and now Howell 2yrs…I TOTALLY get it, but its going to far. Our own communities have more humans not following the rules…We need to practice what we preach.
I say this with kindness…I really do get it. I just dont like the viciousness Im seeing by others. Theres more behind some of these comments…
Google USS liberty and dancing israelis
Melissa Michaelson I totally agree and understand. That’s the point that everyone should follow the rules.
236 IN LAKEWOOD! Tom’s River is high too, because of Lakewood! Michelle Mongelli Freed
I would assume it is North Dover part of Toms River.
Michele Barletto-Baldwin I bet!
Nicole Frazier that’s insane! It is getting so out of control
When is the Governor going to put much stiffer penalty’s in Lakewood? This is out of control.
Shhhhh! your anti semitic. God forbid we’re worried about our health. But hey, let’s not offend the offenders.
Probably a stupid question but they are including Lanoka Harbor in Lacey right?
Moo Cowell I would say yes. Now if they had FR listed separately, then I would say it may be different.
Luck the bastards up. Unreal.
If we don’t wise up and fight their prejudge and arrogance, Ocean County is lost
Charlene Cox
Lakewood, Tom’s river, brick and point are gonna get slammed, they said don’t say anything anti-Semitic, so these very nice wonderful Jewish people just don’t give a fuck
Yeah cause the filth bags in Lakewood who don’t listen.
Ohhh really 236 in lakewood? I thought they were the chosen ones who do not get the virus… imagine that.
They are a bunch of brainwashed assholes
Lakewood and the town’s around if have the highest I wonder why
it’s already too late when gatherings have to be dispersed. they shouldn’t be gathering at all. but murphy says we are all antisemitic and racist to be angry about this?????
Kelley Bless Murphy is such an idiot!
Go figure
You think the #’s high now for Lakewood wait till 5he testing center opens here in Ocean Country Monday!
There was 0 in SSH! 0! These pos’s brought it here!!!!!
Or anyone who traveled? You know… Looking at the situation without your BS Anti-Semitism
Lakewood almost half!!!! C’mon!!!!
Bombard Murphy and everyone else with phone calls! There’s a ton damage done by Murphy and his agenda. THIS is going to finish the state off!
Of course it’s going up and will continue to go up each day. We continue to pack people into supermarkets and department stores, then you close the parks and boardwalk so you packed us all that much more.
David McCallum …or everyone could just stay the fuck home ????
Murphy is in such denial because He has money in His pocket!!!
It’s sure a shit was circled yesterday.
Phil Murphy says it educational misunderstanding with 6 incidents down playing
Willie Rosa Soto Murphy sucks….. two faced SOB!!
Shut it the fuck down
Remember people, the tests released today are from 5-7 days ago. Tests are backed up that long…. next week the numbers are expected to be really bad
This is ironic. That most of the cases are happening where we all know the gatherings are happening ????????????
Instead of bitching about Lakewood why not do your part …no one is staying in no one is social distancing
I’m still working and between the traffic I see and what people do in my store I’m surprised the numbers right now aren’t higher or they are and we just don’t know it yet. The few times I was out …to get a few groceries and pick up prescriptions I haven’t seen anyone taking the necessary precautions …and you know what they won’t get it the people trying to do the right thing will sadly cause that’s just the way it always goes… this is real and people need to wise the hell up.
You go to the hospital no visitors no communication with the outside world and possibly death all alone
That’s the reality of this
Linda M Levine we will see the numbers go higher because more testing can be done now. Lots of people may have already had it but on the lower level and recovered already.
I don’t know where you are but I’ve seen most people keeping proper distance, not crowding up the stores and very little traffic on the road. At least in the areas where people are actually following directives.
They are thinning their own herd but at the expense of us gentiles. Thanks $wamp Takewood. ???? UNCLE PHIL ????
You should be ashamed…
Anthony Mauriello
Anthony Mauriello Ashamed of what? Truth?
Bowie Thelonious this guy is some freedom fighter supporting Takewood and the spread of covid
Yeah… I’m clearly all about the spread of the virus…
Or maybe I’m seeing that all over it’s getting worse, and this is just the beginning.
There is a message that was put out by the col of NJSP where it states he was sitting w AGs Off / Ocean Co Prosecutors Off Sheriffs Dept and National Guard about Lakewood no mention of Lakewood police or its govt involved i is this discussion just a FYI
Quarantine LAKEWOOD
You should be ashamed.
https://www.thelakewoodscoop.com/news/2020/03/breaking-howell-man-arrested-for-making-terroristic-threats-against-jews-in-lakewood.html We are all upset just becareful what you say because it has consequences and now this guy is in Jail and might get exposed to the Virus because of it.
Rob Burns one thing to bitch you don’t like what is going on but threatening violence crosses the line. We don’t need vigilantes out there.
Spout out Anti-Semitic terror threats landed him right where he belongs. Scum
This is crazy. I know everyone is panicking but you don’t need to be tested just to know! I know it would be nice but if you are not showing symptoms, just stay home. I’m a nurse in a nursing home and we received 5, yes 5, tests for a building with 140 residents. Mass chaos is the problem! If everyone got tested for a urinary tract infection, a lot of people would have them but no need to treat if asymptonatic! Everyone needs to calm the f down!
We know who!!!
ALMOST HALF OF TOTAL FROM LAKEWOOD! IMAGINE THAT!!!
Anti-Semitic filth… no point in tagging anyone. It’s like half the posts.
https://youtu.be/vlNsA84_bAE
***THIS IGNORANCE IS PRICELESS*** the people who believe this will be the first to catch Covid-19 —-Christians, Jewish, Islamic Covid-19 doesn’t care who you are your not immune to Covid-19, because Covid-19 is attacking the entire human race! The governor and NJ state is being paid off by Lakewood NJ to look the other way!
looks like an SNL skit. Unbelievable
Laney Burke holy shit
Caitlyn Carey yeah. This shit is insane!
what in the actual eff?
Tracy Peccarelli Folk yup wtf is he protecting Lakewood?
Mel Groomes????
what part of stop with the social gatherings and stay indoors on lock down don’t people in lakewood understand!!!! Cmon use your heads people????
Alexis Sanchez the police need to step up and arrest anyone who gathers in large groups. Unfortunately government is to affraid to do anything about it.
Driving throughout Lakewood the side streets are packed with tons of cars many with NY license plates They are depleting our resources our healthcare and our own stores The mayors of Toms River Jackson Point Pleasant Howell and Brick should demand that Lakewood be shutdown They are causing damage to themselves and others
Marianne Neswick, look at the numbers for Lakewood !
There will be thousands in Lakewood area
The magic string , remember they have the magic string.
Wait till passover, they will be flocking down from muncie NY by the bus load
Stop the caravans from NY to LAKEWOOD????????
Would you rather Lakewood to ny
Todd Catalano , Would rather if they all stayed home.
Nicole Dugan
So Jail time and $1000 fines? How many court appearances?????????

Dozer Tat Art
Chris Torode

Please don’t blame Lakewood
Doesn’t take a rocket scientist!!
Janine Chiappetta
I live in Lakewood and can I just say I hate it here ???? I refuse to walk around the block at this point.
Cheyenne Lee do not leave your house
Cheyenne Lee I’m glad they finally telling the real numbers for Lakewood though. They’ve been keeping them low for days
Lisa Marie Gaghan those are not close to the real numbers. I would say at least 3-4 times that. So many just sick at home not reporting it
????
Murphy May need to contain his pets in Lakewood????????????
I think I had it in november
Jake Ketcham January 12 I was deathly ill from “the flu”
Not about discrimination to anyone but If you have a gathering during this time of any sort , u should be fined and arrested!!!! Covid 19 does not discriminate. Stay home !!!!!!!!
WTF!
Maybe if we complain every time we see them gathering..like there schools still being open..maybe we can get results I do t get WHY they are still gathering.
WOW one town has 236 maybe someone should find out why.????????????
Bill Matthews cause the Jews think thier above the law and do as the want nothing gets done about it. Then they travel to neighboring towns to shop and infect all of us
Good Job Lakewood ????????????????????????
Lakewood and surrounding towns hmmm
Y can’t people just listen …wtf is the problem here omfg
Because they think they’re above everyone else. The Hasidics in lakewood dont listen to anybody they do what they want to, when they want to! And when they have to appear in court and go they somehow are not found guilty and nothing happens to them!
Madalyn Palmadesso That’s because they have the case brought up to the Rabbinical Court and nothing gets done about it
John Brancaccio exactly
Look at the center of the problem. The highest rates all border Lakewood. What the heck is wrong with Murphy. Time for some politician or authority figure to take strong action. Obviously there a [problem with a certain group of people that don’t listen and only care about themselves…..
Patrick Boyhan here’s your answer
Very sad but perhaps what some states are doing with incoming visitors they must go in quarantine for 14 days before they can go in or in this case out. Therefore those guests should remain in the tent not in the house for 14 days not in contact with anyone let their dr.s who may have been present care for them.
build a wall around lakewood
Someone needs to shut those people down. They are destroying us
Andy MacNabb
They need the National Guards sent in until they learn how to be responsible adults
Hey look at the bright side.
Adrian Lopez that is what I said, let the purge begin
They need to stay in their own community, let them kill each other. They walk all around like they are better then us, they have to follow directions and try to stop this dam virus, instead of giving it to everyone else????
Ok so other than Berkley twp. The other towns that have the highest number of cases are the towns surrounding Lakewood what does that tell u. But the mayor dont seem to get it. Open your eyes.
236 for Lakewood it says mike salimbene
Tells you something when Lakewood has 237 more than any other town in a Ocean County!????????????
Wow and NJSP and Murphy say people are being antisemetic Bullshit this virus doesn’t discriminate on race, creed or color it doesn’t care if ur purple or practice the religion of purplism Lakewood has 1/3
the cases the most in the county. Follow the damn rules to stop this. There must be consequences out in place. It’s out of control.
No one should be allowed in or out of Lakewood at this point. They want to exterminate themselves? Have at it. Don’t infect everyone else
Chris OConnor
Most of the cases are in Lakewood and surrounding communities Please We need to stop this from spreading more. Stay home Comply with the safety warnings. No one person or community should be above the law. If this was Newark or Asbury the National Guard would already be present.
Lock the mother f ckers down or the people on the street will take action.
How can I say this without sounding like a horrid person- let them keep doing their thing, and let God decide the outcome. For the rest of us, just keep taking the precautions No sense in getting our anxiety up to the point we are angry and taking things into our own hands. I know it would be best if everyone did the correct thing, but you can’t fight stupid
What are you not understanding?! Look at the number of cases in Lakewood, Toms River and Jackson where Hasidics reside and are above the law and will not follow social distancing or the governors regulations! When will something be done?!?!
Their schools are open too… drove past the one on Kent rd and county line yesterday, I guess around dismissal time busses and all. Not sure why their schools can remain open when all others have been ordered closed.
Scary stay home people
the number is going to climb because how long does it take to get the test results back. This number is really way bigger but those tests aren’t in yet
They think they are above everyone their schools need to be closed. They need. To stay in their homes, their synagogues need to be closed just they the rest of us. I do not mean to say this then they wonder why people dislike them LET US ALL COME TOGETHER AS NEW JERSEY AND BEAT THIS VIRUS IF WE ALL DO ARE PART!!!!!!!!@
Police or military should Lock down Lakewood by force if necessary!!!
It’s really for him to use.
The problem is lakewood they don’t care, they moved to jackson and toms river look at there count.
Nobody can comment on the largest number or be sentenced to jail. Plenty of room available since they let many out
Guess who has the most cases. Surprise.
Hmmmmm wonder why LAKEWOOD is the highest …. people in charge need to stop worrying about getting votes and start enforcing the stay at home order ….this is what causes all the animosity.
Wait until Monday when they open testing at OCC. Ocean County numbers are going to go sky high
Measles all over again????
I live in Lakewood and all my family is home and I work in a company to make hand sanitizer for hospital I am home they don’t work they don’t due nothing for the state they only us them money for bild more homes for them a living free and own the town make them stay home a force them God bless every one ????????????
It’s not surprising Lakewood has the most- since they didn’t follow the rules like everyone else
Clarify this. Your post should read.. Lakewood: COVID-19 Continues to spread……
Andrew Nilsen
Do something about Lakewood!
Wait!!! Now you’re going to open OCC testing site? You should do blue claws and keep them on their side of town????
The order to stay at home and social distancing came down last week from MURPHY! No gatherings of any kind. Stay 6 ft. apart. This is NOT happening in Lakewood and surrounding areas. But if you are doing the right thing (staying home) and you’re seeing the reports of weddings and other large gatherings in that community, and have a complaint, you are now compared to German bigots by the man who issued the order.. MURPHY! Corruption at its finest. Vote this garbage out!! #flattenthecurve
All the towns that neighbor Lakewood are getting up there also. They use the stores in our towns and spread it. This is out of control
Remember all of this on Election Day!!! Lakewood finds every loop hole they can so we pay for a lot of their things. My opinion they have our state in their pockets
Shut Lakewood the F down completely!!
Start ticketing their asses.
Trisha Molnar Stahl exactly I’m sure the gatherings will stop
Most cases in Lakewood and we all know why
Every since I moved back to Ocean County I have heard scary amounts of people saying hateful things about the Jewish community. I moved back here in 2019. People can’t hide behind Covid19 like their disgust and hatred wasn’t a thing before the virus hit.
Laney I think there is some truth in your statement. But, it is not just since the virus. It started when the corruption that was always there hit the spotlight. Tax payers of the surrounding towns were angered by the misappropriation of needed funds to people who abuse the system,not just the orthodox community. unfortunately people talk about the religion and legal marriages in the eyes of the state that would exclude them from said benefits. I personally don’t feel like it is antisemitism as it is anger about how the orthodox community goes about their day to day lives, we feel cheated like us gentiles would never qualify for any benefits if we declared we are life ling students studying the bibile.
Meanwhile if you drive through town you will see the changes that have happened, houses and row houses upon houses, there is no more room. Our infrastructure can’t handle the population increase. One built house should hold one family, not a family on one level a family at sublevel and a business in the attic? all that taxes are not paid on the one million dollar mansion because they worship there
I think we gentile are fed up
Nancy Oram I’m not going to argue against the hypocrisy of some of the tax loopholes they abuse. I agree that it isn’t fair to the people that have to pay out with little benefit to themselves. I think the government needs to revise or get rid of a lot of those programs. However, Camp Evans/Fort Monmouth existing in the 60s as a Nazi youth summer camp doesn’t make us look good either.
That mentality unfortunately doesn’t just disappear. It spreads through generations and perpetuates distrust so much so that we can’t even focus on addressing the issues at hand.
Laney Burke that was 70 years ago and that behavior was corrected it does not continue daily. We gentile for the most part try to give back to our communities, not rape them of everything the have.
Loriann Imperato wtf is up with this county ????????☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️
Stay the F home… It’s that simple… Only go out if you need supplies or walk a pet. We already had customers joking about the virus pretending to cough on us. Guess what? The next time it happens people will face jail time for it… The police are taking this very seriously… The one moron that was licking stuff at a Wal Mart store got 5 years in jail now… People who keep going to the beaches or parties will also face jail time… Stay home. It’s not hard to do…
Steadily maintaining 2/5
Send in the national guard and go commando on them!!
Yea outta the 500 cases 250 come from lakewood!?!!?!? Gross disgusting people
Put a wall around laywoood.
Lakewood needs to be stop their sick from leaving town
