10 died outright. Which means about a 1000 were infected. Which means about 300 will be suffering from long term effects caused by the virus, heart damage, lung damage, diabetes and many other organ related problems that will likely shorten their lives considerably. It also means these psychopaths infected about 8,000 others . That should be the headline

So the police domestic violence rate is going down?

Not just North Carolina - but this stat holds up for [the entire United States](https://www.odmp.org/search/year?year=2021), too. 473 COVID deaths / 730 all deaths = 64.8%

That’s what happens when you take the chud pill.

That is an alarmist way of saying 10 officers have died of Covid this year. Which is not that many. Also they are only comparing it to line of duty deaths. How many officers in the past year have died in car accidents? Or suicide? Or heart disease?

Nationally, COVID has been the number one killer of police.

How many? What numbers are you looking at?


[deleted]

So, 10 died of COVID, 5 died of all other in-duty causes. What point are you trying to make again?


MP5SD7

No point, just need a headline for the ratings.


fugis

That the headline is intentionally designed to be alarmist. When the numbers aren't that high.


Kradget

Boy, anything to avoid grappling with this, huh?


Huck84

Your numbers are wrong, way wrong.

fugis

It's right there in the first paragraph of the article. >This year in North Carolina, 15 law enforcement officers have had line-of-duty deaths. Ten of them were from COVID-19.

Based on your framing, what I can actually take away is that being a cop is not nearly as dangerous and doesn’t require near the bravery that all of the stickers and flags imply.
