judy? judy: we have tested over 72,000 people and a positivity rate is about 42%. i don't know what the false negative or false negative rate is, so i will send it to dr. tam. dr. tam: these tests are really good at picking up disease if you have disease. the way the test works is they pick up small amounts of genetic material from the virus. because there has been a focus on testing individuals who have been symptomatic, there is definitely a much greater chance that you will be picking up individuals with disease. that's why we have had a high positivity rate in general. and again, getting back to the issue of sensitivity, the ability to pick up infection when it is there, it is considered to be very high in this particular test. judy: and in terms of how we are organizing the state, the governor hit upon some of this, we have separated the state into the north, central and south region. level ones are what we call collaborating agencies. the reason for that is so we have the capacity to transport not only equipment and supplies in an expedient manner, but also t

>> judy, in a word, no.re's no epidemiologist or public healthfficial i've spoken to who would say we're enough anywhere near people to really meet this moment that we are in. even the most generous assessmentwe e off by hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of tests that are still needed. the issue is we simply don't know the current scale of theid ic and can't be smart about fighting it until we test more people. we jt don't know, right now, how many people are infected, where are they, who are they, and until you know those things -- let's see that you're a restaurant owner, a factory owner, the owner of an n.b.a. basketball team and youra governor, we want to start bringing people back together. how do you start todo that if you really can't tell who, in the genel population is infected and who is not? so it's a recipe r more outbreaks, according to all the public health officials i've spoken to,s we get testing ramped up. many people referred to it testing is the way that you see an epidemic and get y

thank you. >> judy, thank you for that and for that reminder. and for all, just a quick follow up, counties, in terms of positive tests, remain the same group. followed by essex, hudson, union, passaic and middlesex. those continue to be the six with the most positives and not surprising given that they are largely in that new york metro reality. thank you for that and for all. anything on compliance, ppe, infrastructure and other matters. >> thank you, governor. very briefly overnight, newark police department issued 83e.o. violations and closed one business. in clinton, three subjects were cited for playing golf on a closed golf course. in elizabeth, seven subjects were charged for congregating. they had been warned several times and continued to not -- they had been warned several times and continued to not socially distance and stay at the location. in another incident, a subject who failed to disperse made a threat to shoot the police and was charged with terroristic threats. a barbershop was cited for remaining open also in patterson. five

back over to judy. had tracking, we where folks are passing and doctors operating outside of their specialties. >> there are so many physicians who have volunteered. i will start with that. just helping us in our field offices, our stations helping out in hospitals. i have not gotten complaints. i have gottens, emails with suggestions that were all very positive. and last night on the phone call with the new jersey medical association, the physicians group brought up some really important points for us to consider, particularly those that are practicing actively in urban centers and the inability that they have to do telemedicine to take care of their patients. so it is something we have to consider. a pediatrician brought up a really good point that we need to continue childhood immunizations. that is something you cannot do by telemedicine. and it is so important because we certainly do not want to see the incidence of those childhood diseases that we can eradicate with the vaccines come up again beca

it's a united party, judy. i think give credit to joe biden, who's a popular figure himself and has good personal relations, but give prime credit to donald trump. this isn't is possibility it was in016 of dona trump, the inlikely possible, this is the reality of donald trump, and he is a cohesive agent for the democrats, he is a uniting agent for the democrats. right now, i would say joe biden is in a golden position. this election, as of today, is a referendum on donald trump. it is not a binary choice with the way romney against obama was, bush against kerry was, there is a referendum. it's referendum election. new mexico '96, b a winner going in. in '84 with ronald reagan, it was a referendum on him. donald trump cannot have a referendum election. he is on unpopular figure and the majority don't want him for second term, therefore he needs to run against joe biden, but he can't as long as he's on television two hours every single night seeming petty, mean and vindictive, and that is not helping his candidac

judy's team is overrated. we will leave it at that for the time being, but our authority is significant. tracking and staffing at s perhaps not ai robust testing regime as possible. it is undercounted on one hand. the dnr point is possible it may be inflated on the other end. ofon the testing, almost all the long-term care facilities are doing testing. but we are counting positives and pui's, assuming they are positive. that's how we are co-hoarding patients. and do track pe. we track staffing. cohort. weatherization that's the physical limitations in the staffing limitations. .hat's how we know and we expect them to call us if they are having staffing shortages that they are not take care ofto the activities of daily living on the residents that are there feeding, bathing, changing, and making sure the basic needs are taken care of. in names andg leads from our volunteer portal. >> i will just say a couple of things before we break. we have talked about the national and new jersey postmortem we will have to g

he used to work for you, judy.im is using both his personal 3d printer and the two at newton high school to produce protective face shields for the doctors and nurses who need them. to jim, we can't thank you enough. gwen and jim are just two of what we know are thousands of ordinary new jerseyans who are doing extraordinary things to help us pull through this emergency. whether it is by keeping a community fed or making sure our front-line health care workers have the care they need to stay safe on the job, or i should note the work of the many community pharmacists -- another group i want to give a big shout-out to -- who kept their doors open to preserve their community's health and wellness. we have heroes up and down the state, beginning with our health-care workers, our first responders, community pharmacists i just mentioned, the folks working in essential retail, the nj transit bus and rail folks. the supply chain folks in warehouses. the longshoreman i mentioned yesterday. the list is incredibly impressive

judy, i can't verify the 80%. perhaps judy can. i will say this on the racial data. we will endeavor to get as granular as we can. i can't promise you when that is going to going to be public but that is not something we will hold back. bear with us on that. i would think we would be able to ultimately do this by zip code. we will be as hyper transparent on everything but particularly on that as we can. i can't promise you when. judy can update you on inspections of teams. i will make this a general comment and judy and i will keep it that way on the veterans homes. it is still taking form on what the help will look like. at a minimum it will be a significant amount of help at menlo park and paramus. as a general matter, judy, if you can talk about the inspections. i won't get into the bad apples today. i promise you -- i was saying the opposite. we can t some point celebrate the goodles. their rybody is ignoring responsibilities right now. my particular plea for folks to remember the health care workers are heroes, whether they are in a hospital, a long-term care fa

i will let judy at to that. testing results, this is in terms of how long it takes to get it back, or positives that were negative and negatives that were positive. >> it had to do with false negatives. there are worries about the accuracy of the tests themselves. >> ok. i will let the experts answer that. i haven't heard a lot about that but i think it is fair to say that just because you tested negative a week ago monday doesn't mean you will stay negative forever. that's not a false negative, it shows the fact that this is a movie and not a snapshot. block grants, it is too early to tell. we have strong assurances at senior levels of the administration, i will leave the details to themselves. we let our concerns be known as this bill was being hatched, to the highest levels of both chambers of congress as well as the administration. it is too early to tell. we need maximum flexibility or we cannot continue to do the job we are doing. that is to be determined. listen, a big chunk of my conversation with presid

>> judy, i'll jump in first. is that all right? then you should come in and maybe, pat, you may want to add a word. actually, real quick, age and gender of the deaths. do you mind doing that one real quick? >> sure. do you want me to do it now? >> yeah, sure. i think you just shut yourself off. the range is 20 to 103 years. 1%, or 13, are under the age of 30. 4%, or 75, between the ages of 30 and 49. 17%, 288, between the ages of 50 and 64. 33%, 572, between the ages of 65 and 79. and, 44%, or 748, are over the age of 80. there are still 1,122 cases, or 66% that we are still looking into. no, i'm going to correct that. of 1,122, 66% we know the race. sorry for confusing that. >> gender, sorry. did you hit gender? >> gender continues to be about 58% male and 41% female. the race is based on 1,122 cases, and it's 683, or 61%, white. 242, or 22%, black or african american. and 6%, or 68, asian. and less than 1% is native hawaiian or other pacific islander. 47% are now reporting as having underlying conditions. >> as it relates to matt

thank you, john and judy. you hadion to the cms, your people at andover and the attorney general is conducting an investigation as well. thank you, john. good afternoon. frome first questions are maria kramer from the new york times. the fatality numbers provided every day suspected cases plus confirmed cases? or are they just confirmed cases? totalso asks whether the number of nursing home deaths released yesterday and those today had up to 1655? my own questions, is new jersey relying solely on the federal government for test kits? is it making any testing kit purchases itself? if so, from what sources and in what quantities? down the road, what would a widescale testing program look like? are you talking about all 9 million residents? what is a realistic timetable to start? most important, what do you do with this testing data? elise, judy and pat with your blessing, i will say couple of things here. questions, let me just say one thing we have said before. i mentioned it fatality could be someone -- correc

murphy: i do want judy - what judy tells me to do. i mentioned the loss of life 5863, which is staggering. that is more than the lives lost from new jersey in world war i, the korean war and vietnam war combined. think about that for a second. when we say we are in a war, we mean it. it is multiple wars. positive tests, the same six counties have the overwhelming bulk, bergen, hudson, essex, union, the sex -- to say it -- middlesex.nd those six counties continue to be the ones that were hit the hardest. on hospitalization, it is the first, the african american numbers is broadly consistent with the representation among the fatalities sadly but in both cases about 50% more than the representation in our society. we will talk more about that on monday when we talk about how we see the principles that will guide us. the hispanic fatalities have been about the representation. this is the second data point you have had this week. i want to make sure folks know that we are highlighting that. 28% hispanic. these are hospitalizations. that is

we got it, judy? >> 701 law enforcement statewide tested positive and as of this morning, 871 are out statewide quarantine. governor murphy: thank you, commissioner. dr. tan, thank you for everything you are doing. colonel. jared, matt, great to have you back. as of the moment, there is at least not one that we know of in erms of a white house v.t.c. tomorrow. we are back together at 1:00 p.m. tomorrow, is that accurate? and if that changes, we'll let you know. not only do i thank you for your patience and coming out every day, i would say to everybody out there, we have clearly come an he normous distance. we are clearly headed in the right direction. everything overwhelmingly tells us that. but with the same level of conviction and judy will correct me, we are not there yet. we are not there yet. just because hospitalizations have stabilized and our ventilators have stabilized, we are not there yet. that weren't enough to lose 314r blessed souls of our state, is a sobering reminder even when we see

judy, how about the psychiatric hospitals? >> as with all of our hospitals, we are concerned about the staffing, the manpower specifically at trenton psych. the whole workforce is something we are keeping an eye on. trenton psych is more concerning compared to the others. we are waiting for the testing to come back on about 153 of the staff members. right now we see a positivity rate that is not causing as much concern as we originally thought , but we just have to keep an eye on it. as with all of our hospitals, we are putting in a crisis staffing. you start with conventional staffing. then you go for contingency staffing when things get tight under normal circumstances, or a high flu season. then you go to crisis staffing where you promote safe care, if not the best care. gov. murphy: amen. we will get back to you on the internet providers. i actually don't know the answer to that. one more. >> the ventilators being down to 61, is that a major -- you said you would be able to handle bed capacity. is only having 61 ventilator

judy: that is right. gov. murphy: we had the runaway freight train reality which was millions infected and then thanks to the folks in everly out there and the great work staying home, that came down meaningfully. there is a best case, if everyone should think of it like this. a point which i think is one that we can't forget. what we say today and what we sent 24 hours of what we will say tomorrow on paper or 48 hours, may be very different. judy: that is exactly. at one point it was 500,000 total positives. and then you stepped that down to what percentage would end up in the hospital, what centage in icu. >> we don't know for sure when that number may hit? judy: it depends on the model. the input has come in every day at the end of the day. right now, knowing what our hospitals are doing, the north is packed, but last evening we had eight hospitals that went on and then off. we still have two remaining on divert. that is the lowest number we have had in a bit. gov. murphy: i want to make sure that i say two

judy can get into some of that.ne of those we have lost was james brown, the principal -- him,y isthere he is, god bless with his family. he is the principle of grover cleveland middle school in caldwell. posted indes being his memory but the members of the community tell just how deeply respected and loved he was. he leaves behind his wife, sh erry, his three children and an entire school community who loved him dearly. james was only 48 years old. the executive director director of the new jersey democratic state committee's kids were in this school. god bless his soul. a guy i didn't know, but was known by -- i knew generally, i didn't know personally, but was known by millions, we also lost jazz legend bucky pizzerelli. a tremendously respected jazz guitarist, whos two sons have become tremendous musicians as well. bucky, you can see him there, was 94 years old. we mourn his loss. we mourn with his family and his many friends. i know that there is nothing we can say to truly dull the pain that the brown family a

judy: good afternoon. earlier today i had the privilege of joining the first lady in a discussion with .ermany's minister of health we talked about the success germany has had not only in containing covid-19 but in tracking the virus throughout the country. they enacted strict social distancing and they are beginning to slowly lift the restrictions. they have developed a very slow opening of some small stores, bookshops and car dealerships. places that can safely social distance. they took this action after closely monitoring the spread of the virus in their country. he emphasized the importance of robust testing to help to quickly identify new cases as well as contacts so they can be isolated immediately. they are being very aggressive in contact tracing, using a team of five officers for every 20,000 members of the community to trace people who have come into recent contact with every confirmed case. their experience can inform our efforts as we look ahead to ease social distancing restrictions in the st
