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.

It used to be deaths and now its infections. We are being played. Fear is a incredible motivator and manipulator.
God help you and your business. This is insanity. Lockdowns only affect the small and medium business owners. The Bolsheviks did this to the Kulaks to destroy all conservative opposition. The Great Reset continues...
Thanks, I’m trying pretty much myself now.
Let my employees go.
Now I’m trying to cut and build steel stuff like fire pits and M-4’s painted R, W and Blue for wall art or mailbox stands.
Could it be that New York and New Jersey are importing tons of border trespassers/future democrats?

As a NJ resident, I believe that is the cause - the foreigners trafficked here don’t seem to have the same situational awareness as Americans (crowding you in uncrowded places, for example).
I’m sure we lead the country in many other related things as well: Drivers refusing to use blinkers/turn indicators, unlicensed drivers in unregistered/uninspected vehicles, “free lunch” program recipients, etc..
If everyone in NY and NJ wore plastic bags over their heads.............................
