[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For perspective, the number of kids dying from gun violence is [b]much [/b]higher than covid and the flu combined, and the pandemic (including school closures) is causing this rate to rise since the home is by far the highest risk setting for gun violence even when you count school shootings.

#kids who died from gun violence in 2019 (age 0-11): [b]271[/b]
#kids who died from gun violence in 2019 (age 12-17): [b]979[/b]

Where are the rates for this year during the stay at home time[/quote]
30% higher (for the 3 months that the whole country was locked down) = 107 deaths in 3 months

"With children homebound like never before, the risks of gun violence have been laid bare: Everytown analysis has shown that unintentional shooting deaths by children increased by over 30 percent in March, April, and May 2020, compared to average unintentional gun deaths by children during the same three months over the past three years."
