New Jersey flattened out a bit and only dropped 6.1%. I'm not sure 10,000 a week is a good place to be. The Health Department site went screwy on me last week. I can still get the case numbers but the daily death numbers aren't available so I'm going to drop that. I'm not sure it provided any real information anyway.

Bergen county is doing better than the state as a whole with a 17.3% drop. At least we're under 1,000 cases now.

Still debating about my Giants tickets. My car seems to be behaving as long as I don't ignore it for long periods of time. March is going to suck for several reasons. I have to get finish my physical which means they'll want me to go for a colonoscopy; I have to see the dentist to get my denture and teeth cleaned and I'll be going for that CAT scan.

The number of national cases went down about 40.9% nationwide. There seems to be a move toward just living with this thing as an endemic disease like the flu. Mask mandates are being lifted all around the country. New Jersey lifts its mandate on March 7th. I suppose we'll see what happens.

Another big drop in New Jersey at 34.7%. The number of deaths dropped as well. Still, over 11,000 cases is still pretty high. I'm going to assume the people making the decisions know more than I do but I'm not sure that's a good decision.

Bergen county is back to where it was in early November before Omicron hit but, again, 1,000 cases is nothing to sneeze at.

Still debating about my Giants tickets. I went to clear the ice off my windshield and my car wouldn't start. I tried to jump it and no luck. Subaru sent a service truck and he jumped it OK. I hadn't started it in a couple of weeks. I need to remember to do that.

Another big drop in New Jersey at 52.4%. The number of deaths dropped slightly. The total number of deaths in this wave is pretty high. Over the pas six weeks there have been 3,096 deaths. But a total reported cases of 594,915 cases. That's a rate of about 0.52% which I'm going to say is less than half of previous variants. How much of that is due to a milder form of the virus and how much from vaccination I have no idea,
