Get a grip, wash your hands, cover your mouth if you cough, etc. etc...

Last month, the CDC reported that 39,773 people in the United States died from gunshot wounds in 2017, the most single-year gun deaths in half a century. The increase was driven by suicides. GVA recorded 28,159 firearm injuries in 2018, a 10 percent decrease over 2017.
