President Trump referred to parts of the city as “worse” than areas in the Middle East. A few weeks ago, two men shot a young man named Daniel Cardova, and when a group gathered to mourn Cardova some hours later, yet another shooting occurred, killing two people and injuring another eight.

Do we need to call in the Epidemiologists ? ? ? In 2000, an Epidemiologist reported: "52% of Detroit Metropolitan Area SCHOOLCHILDREN met the DSM-IV criteria for PTSD", at [then Dartmouth, now] Geisel Medical School "Grand Rounds". Similar numbers have been more recently reported in Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Atlanta. Is the situation reported here [in Chicago], part of a similar pattern ? ? ?
