Gun Violence Kills More That the Flu

Gun violence affects us all

Gun violence kills more than the flu; that’s why we have a lot to learn from how we treat a virus in fighting back gun violence. The flu is so similar to gun violence but with a big difference: when it comes to the flu, everybody fights back. We are very careful when we get sick, and we even judge people that send their children to school when they are sick or the ones that come to work with the flu.

Every time we have the flu, we try all sort of medicine, and if those don’t work, we try different remedies, and most important we consider it everybody’s responsibility. We search for ways to stay healthy and avoid getting the flu.

When it comes to the flu, we take care of each other, and we remind ourselves to have a good personal hygiene, to avoid going places if we are sick, and we recognize that it is a problem that affects us all and try to fix it.

Everybody remembers the H1N1 virus and how there were clinics all over the cities that made it easier for people to get vaccines. We were doing everything we could just to try and get cured or avoid getting infected. Everybody was thinking of ways to protect their loved ones even if there were rumors of people from other jurisdiction who benefited from “our” vaccines, at the end of the day everybody realized that we all needed to be protected.
Unfortunately, homicide is the leading cause of death for black people age 15 to 24 and the third leading cause of death for white people of the same age. Moreover, suicide is another primary cause of death that people don’t seem to take seriously. These murders and suicides are all “viruses” that people don’t appear to notice or try to stop.

Black Lives Matter activists and not only them, are trying to raise awareness, to put an end to this violence that is causing so much suffering and the lives of innocent people. We must admit that this is a real problem, causing so much damage to our country and stand united in the fight against this “virus.”
