Baltimore Mayor Jack Young urged residents to put down their guns and heed orders to stay home after multiple people were shot Tuesday night amidst the coronavirus pandemic.
Young said hospital beds are needed to treat positive COVID-19 patients and not for senseless violence. Seven people were shot Tuesday night in the Madison Park neighborhood, as Baltimore reported its fifth positive coronavirus case Wednesday.
...
He urged people to put down their guns because “we cannot clog up our hospitals and their beds with people that are being shot senselessly because we’re going to need those beds for people infected with the coronavirus. And it could be your mother, your grandmother or one of your relatives. So take that into consideration.”
I don't live there - but my hunch is that people shooting each other is a larger problem that the coronavirus.
Put anyone who shot someone with a gun IN the SAME room with someone infected. Bed of no bed.
Maybe nature will help stop a problem the politicians refuse to do.

“I want to reiterate how completely unacceptable the level of violence is that we have seen recently,” Young said. “We will not stand for mass shootings and an increase in crime.”
So ... any word yet from the fine Mayor of Baltimore on when it will be OK to start shooting and killing again?

Democratic-controlled cities have "stood" for mass shootings and crime for decades-why would that change now?
Democrats, please fix your cities, seriously, it's getting to be ridiculous!
