As if your Monday couldn’t get any worse, Murphy and Booker will be speaking today at 1:00 PM. Early media reports indicate Murphy has plans to enact more Covid restrictions for NJ. Bars and restaurants will need to stop serving at 10:00 PM- which is precisely when Covid goes to bed. Other restrictions will be announced today by him with additional consequences. We will make a new story once the full details are released. Remember- November 2021 is our chance to send this guy packing far away from NJ once and for all!
IMPORTANT: Today we will announce new efforts to curb the spread of COVID-19. Join me and Senator Cory Booker live at 1:00 PM for our briefing.

This is apparently what New Jersey wants. This is what they voted for, and they doubled down on it last week. I wish I knew what is wrong with people in this state. This is essentially tantamount to modern day slavery, and it seems everyone is just fine with it.
Michael De Fortuna it’s a disease really
Michael De Fortuna it’s a disease really
Michael De Fortuna I’m not fine with this!…my son is a senior in H.S. in the same school system since he was 4 except for a year after Sandy no choice there ..but!…BIG BIT WHEN HE GRADUATES ADIOS JERSEY FOREVER
Modern day slavery ????????
Michael De Fortuna Not being able to eat at a restaurant after 10pm in an attempt to lower pandemic numbers=modern day slavery? Drama queen.
Michael De Fortuna I didn’t vote for this asshole! He’s killing New Jersey and I hope enough people vote him out
Michael De Fortuna i can tell you whats wrong…people lack common sense and dont think for themselves. Sheep…all sheep…..people are dumb and are conditioned to live this way due to the amazing prep work done by the sheep herders themselves
Katie Kiszka so you have a better chance of getting Covid after 10 pm than you do before 10 pm?
Robin L. Hazen Good for you, if I was younger I would probably think about moving too……Good luck
Bob Shields apparently COVID thrives at 10:01 pm ????????♀️????????♀️
Of course the pro-shutdown people think it’s something like “boo hoo, I can’t get beer & wings after 10 PM”. Nope, that’s not it. It’s about the freedom of people to live their lives to the fullest. It’s about business owners who put their entire life savings into something having every opportunity to thrive and not having the government get in their way even more than they do already. Face it, the more liberty you surrender in the name of safety, the sooner this country is going to completely turn into something we no longer recognize.
Bob Shields Nope. I think he’s trying to cut down on crowds by limiting hours without closing restaurants completely. Which no one wants.
Katie Kiszka I was just breaking balls
Toni Jaccodine-Fuentes ..I’m not in any way young I am 55 years old and feel like I’m 65 with all the stress …doesn’t matter the age what matters is we all stand united for our freedom!…I will die before they take my rights !
ENOUGH
Lmfaoo commie shit.
Oh boy can’t wait ????

We NJ you gave them all the power they could ask for, Now we all pay the price. I don’t see how many businesses will be able to survive much longer under the Murphy Regime. God help us if Biden actually becomes President, he will lock everything down, well unless you are dancing the streets celebrating his victory like Chucky Schumer!

And most restaurants have been closing at 10 this whole time

Closing earlier won’t stop anything – they will have patrons packed in like sardines before 10; establishments were not following the 25% limits now, what makes them think they will follow any new sanctions? No one is checking – it is a free for all. Tired of dealing with this – and tired of people who just do whatever the hell they want. This is why this GD virus is going to be here a lot longer!!

Connie G-Wesosky it’s a virus. It’s not going away. Much like the flu VIRUS that has never gone away. Wake up.
Connie G-Wesosky he can shut down all he wants. It’s never going away. Are we going to keep shutting stuff down.
But covid is fake remember?????

What is the point of all these restrictions? If you feel sick, get tested and if positive then stay home for 2 weeks. Isn’t that what you’re supposed to do anyway? So why shutdown the whole state? If you’re sick, stay home so the rest of us can get on with our business

Lynette Marie It is pretty much common sense! Makes sense to me!
Well until we get some action from the WH this is going to keep happening. If every state was on the same page early on maybe we wouldn’t be having these insane surges throughout the country. Apparently ignoring and denying it hasn’t work. Mask up and STFU.
Sandra Petroni Antonellis well said!
I don’t even mind wearing a mask but the best part is when you go to the hospital they ask you to wear their mask. So that tells me any mask but their mask is apparently unsafe.
Steven Michael Fowler i wouldn’t go as far as unsafe, still effective when some coughs or sneezes and spreading droplets and its the best protection we have if people use them properly especially given the alternative. Some people use the same mask over and over and u can’t police that so better safe than sorry as far as hospitals r concerned
Im sure people that are just wearing them bc they’re forced to dont care if it’s the same mask over and over. They are the ones that thinks it’s a bunch of crap so they’re not being careful. It goes beyond mask wearing, you’re not suppose to touch them when they’re on ur face and many people do. You’re also not supposed to put it under your chin, etc etc. There is a whole bunch of rules to properly wear a mask to maximize the effectiveness that hardly anyone follows. But I wouldn’t agree they’re unsafe.
????
Just curious as to the time it wakes up?? Asking for a friend! ????????????????
Kimberly Stein-Pereira before 9 am at the liquor stores
Toofey Mier yes just drink at home. Stupid crap
Toofey Mier perfect timing!!!! ????????????

Dictator Murphy better not be closing the gyms too! We need to vote this POS out of office next year!

Fuck Murphy.
????????
Hirsh Singh needs all of your votes to get this Phil guy out of here…
Of course he is…he thinks the election has been finalized…sorry Murph Trump is still President!
Thought this was going away after the election? ????
Cristen Troop not going away until everyone has been force vaccinated.
Cristen Troop the goal post will always be changed to fit whatever narrative is needed. Yes I said it.
COVIDIOTS
Sheri Bell They are EVERYWHERE!
Someone ought to be looking into fraud from the outcome of our election. It’s all over the country – you can guarantee it’s here too.
No fraud. Trump is a sore loser.
Kimberley Lilley fake news
Emily Joyner it’s not. You will see.
Kimberley Lilley ???? you will see!
Kimberley Lilley Trump cheated 4 year ago anyways, so who cares!
Emily Joyner willful ignorance.
Kimberley Lilley willful stupidity.
They could speak all they want……I won’t be listening, they are not going to tell me what I can and can’t do in my home
Toni Jaccodine-Fuentes actually they will be telling you what you can and can’t do. When everything is shut down and you have no where to go, you’ll be forced to stay home.
Here we go again now he can destroy the business’s that made it the last shutdown…
Punishment to hurt the good people !????
Cj Febus
Iduot!!!!!!
Releasing inmates!
But putting more restrictions on honest hard working people
Can someone PLEASE tell me how this makes sense???
PLEASE……..
Sue Sheehy that’s what I say…smh…
Exactly! Smfh
Murderers!!!
John Ruhl Cuomo just on talking about how they can stop Trumps vaccine plan.
Do they REALLY want Covid under control?
Never forget who.
Why are people that don’t do what’s needed hate murphy? He has the job of protecting people in his state! If the president wound have, the Govenors wouldn’t be blamed. It’s airborne without state divisions!!!!!
Diane Cassitta bankrupting is all he is doing…… must be only raccoons and fake viruses that come out at 10pm ????
James Strodel logic would tell you that services cost money not to mention natural disasters, pandemics, and massive unemployment. Can’t blame Murphy!
Diane Cassitta so a dictator like Murphy telling people they need to close their businesses at 10pm has nothing to do with a virus. But all to do with socialism
James Strodel sorry you feel that way. There are facts, and then there’s the alternate reality. He is the govenor, not a dictator or wannabe dictator like trump. And then there is the fact that when folks congregate at bars or clubs consumming alcohol they don’t follow careful conduct that would reduce the spreading of a deadly pandemic virus. He’s dedicated to doing the best he can to promote a healthy state. That’s his job. Furthermore, as sad as it is to close business, have money problems, it beats being dead. Can’t fix the economy unless the pandemic gets under REAL control.
Diane Cassitta but dead voters are who got Biden in ✌????
Apparently Biden supporters don’t wear masks either.????
Murphy hard at work protecting the people of NJ.????
But then there’s a Liberals alternate reality. ????????????
Diane Cassitta agreed! So hard to wear a damn mask. I’m so agree over these selfish idiots. Had everyone just masked up, we wouldn’t have further restrictions now.
Power hungry fool
Peggy Kruger
So while admittedly nobody on OCSN Staff is a doctor, scientist, or even an economist- none of this adds up regularly. Murphy has a unique situation here in NJ in regards to how to handle our public health emergency. It’s challenging, and a learning curve for all 50 governors. That being said- these arbitrary restrictions on businesses and public gatherings isn’t fair or equal. The people who are constantly breaking the rules aren’t punished, and we all suffer as a whole state. We know he won’t stop until the vaccine is released with any of these rules, but we all have learned how to navigate the “new normal” in our lives. Open everything with 50% capacity and keep enforcing masks and social distancing indoors. If the masks truly work, wearing one properly while maintaining 6 feet of distance should be keeping us all safe. Quarantines aren’t working- nobody is listening to the rules. The way so many businesses, small and large are suffering because of the restrictions- is going to devastate our economy for years. Way too many have already lost so much, or everything already.
None of this rhetoric is meant as any way to ignore the reality of the virus. We get it’s real and killing people daily- but what are these patients underlying conditions? Covid doesn’t attack humans inside a restaurant, inside a casino, inside Walmart? Covid stops being a threat after 10:00 PM?
The residents of New Jersey deserve better leadership- we deserve that our elected officials make policy based on the greater good of the people. We surely need to attend to those who are sick or vulnerable- but we need a more sensible approach to this ever-changing pandemic world.
Ocean County Scanner News Dont forget that you can catch COVID while voting in person but not getting your nails or hair done.
If you support the POS ruining our state then you need your head examined! I’m done!
Andrew Schwartz Most likely the same people that vote Blue and elected Booker again
Andrew Schwartz yeah I know too bad he’s not like the governors of some red states that are having surges resulting in hospital overflows 9 months after the beginning of this virus. Yeah they’re the ones that need their heads examined. You go w that. Btw no one is stopping u from living in one of those states and the taxes are cheaper so what ru waiting for?
????????
Stop the BS
Sara Elizabeth Robert Miller
Barbara Pishkur-Neuner
Once again, nobody has admitted that they voted for this tool bag.
Fuck him
So the virus only comes out at night
Paul Yager after 10PM, who knew it could tell time. It knows age, too. My 17 year old was able to go to the hospital, but NOT my 16 year old, for fear of the virus ????????♀️????????♀️????????♀️????????♀️
Covid doesn’t follow a time sch
Why Punish restaurants that have been following the rules when he said himself there were no Covid cases because of dining out
Kinda hard to smoke a bong with a mask on????
It said that all those sitting here talking trash are the reason why Corona is still a thing. Wear your mask and shut up you’re not very smart get over your loss and accept the fact that we’re have to modify Our Lives because of your stupidity
Don Adelman who died and left your nasty self in charge. I complain and I DO wear my mask, wash my hands & social distance. Corona is like the cold, virus, flu etc etc. it’s here, we have a life to live, cautiously!!! Other states are open, they’re surviving. He’s going to bankrupt us. get over your nasty self.
Don Adelman
Joe Mo yes poor loser you’re probably a sore loser also
Don Adelman 5hrs till corona comes, time to hide
Joe Mo Mahnomen good peasant I’m afraid of Covid for sure but using common sense i shouldn’t be too at risk. Meanwhile is your peasant ass working? Do you still have to gobout and potentially be exposed? See unlike you pretty much anywhere if there was Covid concerns we’d just close the place down fir some privacy. When you aren’t a douche and people with stroke love ya whatever is always within reason
Joe Mo boot licker
I am trying to read what your wrote but your English is horrible. Maybe with your gov hand out you can get that GED. 2 1/2 hrs till the Covid monster comes for u ????????????
Don Adelman I wear my mask, wash my hands. Perhaps before telling people they aren’t smart, try using some grammar, just sayin’… ????????????????
Murphy is a dictator not a governor! Fucking moron
Lynn Pereira Rogalny-Nicusanti you should move out of NJ to own the libs.
Don’t worry. This POS will
Get another term because we will be forced to vote by mail again! You know … to secure another democratic win!! Fn garbage
Just keep scrolling! Enough with the control already. We are choosing to live our lives without fear and lies. Period.
This is insane as of Wednesday you’re not aloud to sit at the bars and they have to close at 10:00 like this virus knows to come out after 10:00 . Taking our freedom one strip at a time ????
Teresa Hann Labrecque we have just been put under a two week Restriction
Thank God someone is starting to do something about this. Heaven knows people that are fighting this are half the problem. My rights allowed me to make the choice to follow guidelines to help my fellow Americans not to help kill them!
Michael Labrecque Thats right your rights allow you to make a choice n so do mine . I wear a mask when needed and I follow the rules because I have to doesn’t mean I agree with them .
Teresa Hann Labrecque ???? OMG you science denier! ????????????
Teresa Hann Labrecque jk ????
Michael Labrecque have a nice day
Teresa Hann Labrecque ????
Teresa Hann Labrecque love you guys too
Michael Labrecque love ya too
We said “this makes no sense” when they did it in the UK, but it was part of a package of measures that seemed to have some effect. My guess is covid might not behave differently after 10 but somehow people in bars do?
FU Murphy you POS!!
Let’s see how many people actually listen to you anymore. You F’in nazi democrats cheated and got the election so f-off and let us get back to our lives. Go back to Massachusetts you scumbag!
He is set to eat shit.
