I’m in northern NJ. We’re second to NYC in suffering.

There have been many deaths in the under-60 category. I’m 65 and healthy. That’s no defense.

Last week, my town had a heart-wrenching funeral procession for a police officer who lived in town. He was 53 and fought the virus for a month.

This isn’t the flu.
