According to FOX5 DC, there were 21 murders in the nation’s capital during July compared to eight reported deaths from Covid. Trayon White, the councilman for Ward 8, said “we’ve put a lot of resources and time into the Covid pandemic” however “we’re in a pandemic right now when it comes to crime in this community and we got to start acting it.”

I think the Murder rate is more concerning…no? No masks for that.
