According to a report by the New Jersey News Network on June 17, there have been 86 million positive new crown cases in the United States and 1.01 million deaths. Studies have shown that even mildly symptomatic cases can significantly affect the brain.
The latest figures show a positivity rate of 14.35 percent of tests in New Jersey, the report said. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) considers a positivity rate greater than 10% to be "high." New Jersey reported eight deaths and 2,914 new cases, while the U.S. has more than 86 million positive tests.
The CDC recommends that people in high-risk areas should wear masks in indoor public places and on public 
transportation and be vaccinated in a timely manner. Currently, 11 medium-risk areas and 3 low-risk areas in the state do not recommend wearing masks.
In the more than two years since New Jersey reported its first confirmed case of COVID-19 on March 4, 2020, the state has reported more than 2.1 million confirmed cases. In addition, the state has recorded approximately 350,960 positive antigen or rapid tests, which are also considered probable cases. There are also many cases that may never have been counted, including those who tested positive at home. The state of 9.2 million residents has now reported 33,920 deaths from Covid-19, including 30,839 confirmed and 3,081 suspected deaths. Last summer, New Jersey was the state with the most deaths per capita in the United States, and this year it has "receded" to eighth.
This comes after a major study showed that even mildly symptomatic cases of Covid-19 can have dramatic effects on the brain. "Long-term Covid-19" (a term used to describe symptoms of the virus long after a person no longer tests positive) has been found to affect 10% to 30% of infected people, whether they are mild or severe case. That means about 600,000 of the more than 2 million people who have tested positive for Covid-19 in New Jersey alone have had or have had chronic Covid-19 since the outbreak began.
Since the start of the school year, 140,385 students and 42,433 school staff in New Jersey have contracted Covid-19, according to data reported by schools, although more than two-thirds of the state's school districts have never fully reported data in any given week.
According to statistics from Johns Hopkins University, more than 538 million cases of Covid-19 have been reported globally and more than 6.3 million people have died from the virus. And the US has reported the most confirmed cases (more than 86 million) and deaths (at least 1,012,682) of any country.
