State health officials on Tuesday announced the first coronavirus death in New Jersey as a 69-year-old man from Bergen County, while the total number of positive cases in the state increased to 15.
“We are sad to report the first death in a case of COVID-19 in New Jersey,” New Jersey officials said in a statement. “Our prayers are with the family during this difficult time. We remain vigilant to doing all we can — across all levels of government — to protect the people of New Jersey.”
The 69-year-old man, who had pre-existing health conditions, died Tuesday morning, state health officials said. He is among the four new presumptive positive coronavirus cases revealed Tuesday from the state’s lab.

Rather than prolonging an agony that lasts for months, I think it is better to reach a total closure, so as to permanently block the contagion. It is a line of thought that is turning and I think it will be discussed today, because it is essential to isolate the virus, and ****the more we slow down the rate of infection and the more breath we give to our healthcare facilities**** “said the president of Veneto, Luca Zaia today during the press conference at the Civil Protection in Marghera . Only food and pharmacies would remain open.

So the $3,000.00 lab test only 'presumes a positive'? Then why use the test if I can just presume a negative ?
Well at least he wasn't confirmed by the CDC, so he doesn't count against our "official numbers". /s
