“Chicago must be be a safe zone now.”
Shootings, vehicular deaths and communicable disease deaths excluding CCP-19 are down (not gone). Most of the rest remains the same.
I did the calculation the other day. Car wrecks + Flu deaths combined runs around 360 per day in flu season (well under that if you average it out over the whole year). We’ve been losing people to CCP-19 at 3 times that rate for the past week.
Looks like in Chicago for March the hits are up but the kills are down:
Final March Totals (vs YoY)
Shot & Killed: 23 (-28%)
Shot & Wounded: 165(+21%)
Total Shot: 188 (+12%)
Total Homicides: 25 (-31%)
