Are there any #PublicHealth people here who are good with estimates and making simple and compelling charts?
Someone might be able to calculate and show what @luckytran has been writing about a potential mask ban in New York.
Compare the risk of death from all forms of crime with the risk of death from #COVID at the population level per 100000 people.
Even assuming that masking only prevents some fraction of COVID infections I bet that crime related deaths will be far lower.
