New York and New Jersey now have the highest rates of COVID-19 infection in the country.
The Empire State has averaged 548 cases for every 100,000 residents over the past 14 days — only surpassed by the Garden State with 647 cases.
Despite vaccination efforts, New York has not seen a dramatic reduction in infections. Daily cases have averaged about 50,000 people per week since mid-February.
And across the Hudson River in New Jersey, the number of new infections has climbed by 37 percent in a little more than a month, to about 23,600 every seven days.
In New York, Orange and Rockland counties are seeing the highest positivity rates — 6.7 percent and 6.2 percent, respectively, state Department of Health data shows. Just below them is Bronx County, which currently has a 5.5 percent positivity rate, and Suffolk County, which has a 5.4 percent positivity rate.
Statewide, the positivity rate was 4.1 percent on Saturday.
The highest number of new infections recorded in New York on Saturday was in Queens and Brooklyn, which saw 1,661 and 1,547 new cases, respectively. Over the last week, cases have been on the rise in both of those counties, though the numbers are still lower than in January during the post-holiday surge.

That’s a shame.
should have added a third mask
Hmmm, let’s think about some things that just might contribute to those stats. There’s corruption, ineptness, east coast mentality, inability to learn from history...no wait, quick summary: both are DemocRAT run states.
I think these are fake numbers.
It’s just to extend the lockdowns.
Also, it’s always the same counties or boroughs.
Locking down and masking up really did the trick, didn’t it?

It is absolute delusional hubris to imagine that we can “eliminate the virus”.
And butt plugs. F@rts can be deadly.
So the vaccine doesn’t work.
It is all BS....Just depends on how many test are given....they can say there are more to keep the state locked down....you just keep testing til you have more.....want less quit testing...
People being forced to stay at home in closed crowded conditions with poor ventilation and little exposure to direct sunlight probably played a factor in the rate of infections.
They should all wear 15 masks and never venture from their rent-controlled apartments.
Texas’ fault < /sarc >
A virus so deadly, one has to be tested to find out if they have it.
New York-New Jersey eh ?
Isn’t that where all of those secular preachers on the Fake News networks live ?
You know, those talking-heads divining the sacred scripture of “ wear your mask, take your vaccine “ !
And because of Cuomo and NY City this will kill us in the rest of the state like WNY where I’m from, Upstate and the Southern Tier. I despise both the City and Cuomo.
My business may not survive
After the initial surge in spring last year, they locked down the hardest and the longest. Now the virus is burning through the population in New Jersey and New York (just an estimation here).
😂😂😂
The reasons their numbers are high is because of population density and public transportation.
NYS counts probables and repeat positives of the same patient as new cases.
Our stats are crap.
