N.J. ‘still a number of weeks away’ from reopening from coronavirus restrictions, Gov. Murphy says

New Jersey is still “a number of weeks away” from starting to reopen from the near lockdown restrictions to slow the spread the coronavirus, Gov. Phil Murphy said Sunday morning.

Murphy also said he is still deciding whether the state will reopen as a whole or whether it could be a regional approach.

New Jersey has “suffered an extraordinary toll and loss of life," Murphy said while appearing on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday, after the show’s host noted the death toll from COVID-19 has surpassed the combined total number of people in the state who died fighting in Vietnam, the Korea War and World War I.

“The fatalities continue to be significant each and every day," the governor said.

Murphy, who has said he plans to unveil a “broad blueprint” to reopen the state on Monday, said more time is needed for people to stay at home and adhere to his strict orders to mitigate the spread of the virus. He has kept those predictions vague, and recently said it would be several more weeks before restrictions would be rolled back.

Phil has 3 problems 1) If he doesn’t open in 3 weeks, he is going to lose Memorial Day weekend at the Shore 2) He has a $7B budget gap 3) He’s a Socialist dictator and doing 1 and 2 goes against his nature.

In MI something like 66%, in NY over 80% and elsewhere similar approval amounts for Dem governors’ lockdown plans. The sheep just say “kick me, kick me again harder” and approve of them. Here are my rights, just take them it’s okay. Fools. Cowards.

BUT when they get bored or too hot they defiantly go out with groups. As CA beaches. Soon, NY and NJ beer parties at people’s yards. Any time now.

I really, really don’t like these people.

Every week, it’s a couple more weeks. It’s easy for those with incoming paychecks to say “let’s wait” but the majority don’t have such comfort. Start rolling out a damn plan now.

Jersey has a reported 669 death/M rate, which is one of the highest in the world.

Know what’s even more tragic? The abortion rate of 48K in 2018, or a 5,369/M rate.

“”a number of weeks away’ from reopening “”

In EVERY state that “number” better be closer to two than it is to five

It’s sickening how casually those receiving guaranteed government paychecks destroy others livelihoods.

Not one penny to any city or state that is not opened and running by we the people. Not even a dime.

Memorial Day weekend is going to be the end of all restraint, even in collectivist states. Beaches, lakes, rivers and campgrounds are too powerful.

I'll storm 'em myself, as long as they're not New Jersey beaches.

Murphy got elected by the nimrods who live in North Jersey. South Jersey is completely different as to voting patterns and he knows it. South Jersey gets screwed by the politico’s up North-they don’t care about what happens there.
