Town Bank - According to a recent article in NJ.com, a left leaning website, New Jersey leads the Nation in Covid deaths per capita, and if NJ was a country, its death rate would would rank it ahead of every nation on earth, despite having the most draconian shut down policies forced upon us by democratic governor Phil Murphy. It seems that following NY governor Cuomo's Covid policy was a very dumb move, and was apparently just as politically motivated. I fail to understand the logic of people who support these failures, even when the evidence is right in front of them, and try to defend the indefensible.
