Lakewood is holding back on counts ! JMO !
Why don’t you ever post how many recovered?????…why is it all about how many are reported to have it and how many deaths …can we start posting positive numbers…they have been saying hospitalizations have been going down dramatically……
It’s all doom and gloom trying to keep everyone scared
Isabelle Mitrosky well it’s complete bullshit…
Cause they don’t want us to know , the HD wants you to think sky is falling
Joseph Todaro such bullshit ya no uuugh
Beachy Shasha its the truth and its insane
Joseph Todaro yup I AGREE ????
It’s messed up because if you listen to both governors of New York and New Jersey…the numbers are going down dramatically…
And these numbers just keep rising …makes no sense …. And they need to start telling the truth about the real numbers….
Beachy Shasha media hype.
Beachy Shasha murphy reports this everyday
Chuck Cumella it’s bullshit ????
Kym Bennett Brander Amen
Laura Schneider Lange he also reports that the numbers are going down dramatically
Beachy Shasha the rate of the daily positive numbers is declining. Instead of +2000 a day, NY had a positive of just over a thousand in the last 24 hours.
I think they’re “fudging” the numbers. All gloom and doom. Heart attack is now Coronavirus etc.
Kym Bennett Brander you a dr because that’s not true my grandmother died yesterday because of someone that was asymptomatic..
Andrea Magliocco-Reeves sad but very true
Michael Petrocelli yep. Just like NY, no EMT cardiac resuscitation allowed, they’ll die and list is as Covid.
Beachy Shasha recovered would be subtracting deaths from positive cases. Yes, obviously people are still hospitalized or at home with symptoms and not recovered yet so the recovered numbers won’t be perfect, but at least you can get a feel for about how many recovered. Stay well ????????
Andrea Magliocco-Reeves ????????????
Beachy Shasha can’t we do the math? If there are 600 cases and 5 died… then wouldn’t 595 be the amount recovered?!
Andrea Magliocco-Reeves Wait until the insurance companies deny death benefits because it is now listed as pandemic not natural causes.
Michael Goldsmith uggggghhh!
Nicole Ann actually it is true, im sorry for your loss but it doesnt negate the fact that states are fudging #s for more federal funding.
Carlos Martinho if that person would have stayed home my grandmother would still be alive so YES stay home and save a life.. May not be a life you care about but a life is a life.
Is the governor not worried about the proportionately larger numbers in Lakewood compared to other towns? That number looks worrisome.
Jeannine Labriola toms river is catching up
Mary Gartland Hoffman Yes it is- One would think the numbers sticking out like a sore thumb would bring attention. Stay safe everyone.
Jeannine Labriola you too. I am a prisoner in my home. I miss my kids and granddaughters
Why is the guy in the thumbnail sneezing??.. Sneezing is NOT a symptom of COVID-19
Keith Hoffman , but it can spread it!!
Deborah Michele that wasn’t my point… the media is fear mongering, and that thumbnail is a prime example
Can we do this once a week now instead of every damn day? Am i the only one who is tired of hearing about it?
Anyone complaining about being stuck inside should be grateful you aren’t exposing yourself to this because you are needed at work.
Lakewood has over twice as many cases as Brick and the same death count? Clearly the numbers are not being reported correctly from Lakewood.
Pat Provolone it can be more Seniors in Brick and nursing homes. Not sure
Theresea Marie never that simple with Lakewood.
Pat Provolone you can add most of Toms River numbers to Lakewood.
Pat Provolone of course they’re ????not
This is a little old but at least it has good news! People don’t click on good news, just doom and gloom, if it bleeds it leads!
Positive does not mean sick or hospitalized what are the real nunbers
Southern Ocean Medical Center!!
Please allow us to explain these numbers again. We retrieve the data from the Ocean County Health Department as they’re released daily. We then share them with our fans and readers as many people want to know. Any discrepancies or questions should be directed to them, as they are responsible for the numbers.
Secondly to everyone asking for recovery numbers, those aren’t readily available. There are statewide recovery numbers which can be obtained kind of easily, but a town-by-town breakdown of each patient who recovers is not represented. If anyone has a source for this data, please message us and we will begin to share. Certain people act like we enjoy sharing dismal news, but we can only share the data that the government makes available to us.
Please keep your nasty and misdirected comments to yourself.
Ocean County Scanner News I never said you enjoyed it … please don’t twist my words…..I was just wondering why they don’t share recoveries….
People are just sick of the media lying about stuff that is really going on
Beachy Shasha AMEN to that!
Beachy Shasha
We’re not referring to you, there are some comments we had to delete. I wish the government would share positive news more readily.
Ocean County Scanner News you are in over your head. You should not have gotten involved in this at all.
Ocean County Scanner News keep up the good work on reporting the stats , its sad that people blame others for what is true , media hype , dont think so . Pass a funeral home and see how sad it may be . Fear is of your own so if you allow it , then its your problem , not the media . If anything the hidden truth comes from the government , believe what you want and keep it to yourself , panic comes from the people not the media .
Ocean County Scanner News you’re correct… the numbers are cumulative and don’t represent how many people are actually sick at the moment… it’s strange that most people don’t realize that
Ocean County Scanner News thank you
I moved to Tennessee and with every report they do 3 sections. Positive cases, recovered,and deaths. Why don’t you do that there or do you just want to cause panic with the population?
Don’t let a good crisis go to waste right
Brian Koskowski They have already explained that the county recovery numbers are not available and they are just doing a service and reporting the numbers that are available
Deborah Strazza Stone they’re available everywhere else but in Jersey.
Brian Koskowski They are available by state they just aren’t broken down by county
Shouldn’t say everywhere but a lot of places have that info. Im just saying if you don’t have all the facts why put a story out
You guy’s are doing a great job, Thank You
Can you please tell us how many people have recovered from this all we are told is the bad news
Rich Wieland Sr exactly The media is doing everything to justify the shut down
Why, so people can get relieved and go out thus bring the numbers up.
And 5000 are in lakewood
I’m moving to Mantoloking even though I can’t afford it…any rentals available?
did the number go down i think i did since 2 days ago
Omg I live in TR. why is it so high here?
Coley Famular cause Lakrwood can’t stay inside
Cathie Spidaletto is that why? Me n Rainy Bryan went to big lots today. I got a sauté pan ????????????????????
Coley Famularand a table cloth ????
Rainy Bryan and a can opener
Coley Famular hey, we needed that can opener
Coley Famular haha! Dont forget the Daisy’s, they are so pretty
Coley Famular Hahahaha don’t forget the dope and fresh needles!
