SOMERS POINT, N.J.– Joseph Johnson was going about his life, getting ready for the holidays at the Jersey Shore, when he started to feel ill and wound up in a hospital. It turned out he had diabetes, and it was threatening his life.

“Because of the plague, my wife can’t come visit; all she can do is call and text,” he said. “It’s pretty depressing.”
