Coronavirus despite its demerits sure has a couple of benefits as well.
One of such benefits is the historic absence of murder in Miami city for the first time since 1957 for six straight weeks.
Thanks to the coronavirus lockdown. If not, many lives would have been taken through murder.
According to the Miami Herald, Miami, once dubbed as America’s ‘murder capital,’ did not report a homicide from February 17 to April 12 and the Miami police say there has been a 33 percent decrease in homicides since March 17, when Miami County Mayor Carlos Gimenez issued a stay-at-home order to reduce Coronavirus spread.
But Miami Police Chief Jorge Colina has warned that these numbers are hypothetical and not an accurate representation of crime in Miami.
According to Colina, there are unreported domestic violence and child abuse cases going on now that the city is in quarantine.
Coronavirus sure has some positive impacts.
