Do we need a mask mandate in American schools or a Kevlar mandate in Chicago's schools, churches, homes, neighborhoods, weddings, birthday parties, jumping houses, ball pits, etc?
Which is it you want to talk about? The excess death rate of black children in Chicago or the excess death rate from firearms of black children in Chicago?

Even then, I don’t think you’re comparing apples to apples because having children wear masks benefits others in a way that wearing Kevlar would not.

Hmm, I think that about 40 kids of various ethnicities have been shot and killed in Chicago, so far this year. A few over 200 American kids have died of COVID to date. So, if trends continue, it appears that more children will die from COVID. Why do you ask?

Is this a veiled request for better gun control?

We benefit by not having children killed.
Sure. But that benefit exists regardless of cause of death.

That is the apple.
My mistake. The subject said “serious question.”

15 year old girl. Dead.
Cultellus, you keep highlighting death by gun violence. I'll ask again: Are you advocating for greater gun control?
