The new pandemic numbers are at OCHD.org and COVIDActNow.org.  Ocean County had just 9 additional cases.  NJ had only 339 new cases yesterday.  NJ has dropped to 21st place among states.  Ocean County is in 6th place among NJ counties because most counties are experiencing rapid declines as well.  Ocean County could go from orange to yellow as early as tomorrow.  NJ could follow the day after tomorrow.

     While I don't know if the speed of the decline will continue, I sure hope we are indeed getting close to having more restrictions lifted.  Please continue to pray the rosary daily during May for an end to the pandemic.

God love you,

Fr. Jim
