St. Louis Homicide Pandemic:
** In July there were 12 Coronavirus deaths in St. Louis city.
** In July there were 47 murders in St. Louis city.

There have been 167 coronavirus deaths in St. Louis City this year.

And there have been from 143 to 150 homicides in St. Louis so far this year.

Homicides are far outpacing coronavirus deaths in St. Louis.

Local radio host Mark Reardon tweeted this out on Tuesday.

Hey @LydaKrewson I just checked with @SLMPD –they confirm ***47*** murders in St. Louis in July alone.

47???!!!!! We’ve had 150 for the year.

Meantime in July ****8**** deaths from Covid in the City….32 in the County. Murders FAR FAR FAR outpacing Covid in St. Louis.

And murder season is just kicking off in St. Louis.

So far this year in St. Louis 161 have died of Coronavirus and 129 have been murdered. But murder season has just begun.

“Which disease is more serious?”

It depends on your attitude about chronic disease versus acute disease.

Some view acute disease as controllable, but what can you do about a condition that has become chronic? So, the acute events get more attention.

COVID is just a great big racedemic!!! /s

Maybe a comparison should be in NYC and covid deaths .

There have been 167 coronavirus deaths in St. Louis City this year.

And there have been from 143 to 150 homicides in St. Louis so far this year.

Homicides are far outpacing coronavirus deaths in St. Louis.

Last time I checked 167 was still greater than 150, or 143. So it looks like Covid is outpacing homicides.

If the July tend continues (God forbid), we should see MORE homicides than Covid-19 deaths.

What are they doing?

Competing with Chicago?

They have a prosecutor who’s going to get a lot of people killed too.

Both murders and disease deaths are bad, and both are more concentrated in large cities. The populations are more dense, too.
