I read that domestic violence is growing too. BRB with a link.
Domestic violence homicides up during the pandemic
Homicides related to domestic violence in Phoenix are up in pandemic
Due to a failure of our society to provide services to those who need them, like women who often stay with violent men because they cannot afford to leave.
Of course any environmental stressor is going to increase those instances. (Apparently the Superbowl is one of those stressors).
That doesn't mean we abandon efforts to save lives and reduce catastrophic illness and overwhelming our health care system.
We can work to both prevent DV and protect the victim AND save lives and the health of the nation.
