So I disagree on the DV part.
)Did you actually read the other two articles?
The Economist article indicates that coronavirus saw an immediate spike but that cases went down in early April. It then qualifies that by saying that data may be incomplete. (Hint. It's not.)
CNN's article says that domestic violence has gone up in 9 of 20 cities. In order to get to 9, the CNN article has to use two different ways of calculating its numbers: (1) comparing March 2020 to March 2019 and (2) comparing March 2020 to earlier parts of 2020. (There is well-known general increase in violent crime as temperatures increase, so the numbers that do not compare 2020 to 2019 are mostly worthless.)
Both completely ignore April. The data that I have read in Arizona, Illinois, and Texas shows domestic violence down in April.
I have yet to see May. I judge by the fact that there are no articles from the clickbait media that domestic violence numbers are probably still down around 13-23% or maybe even more.
So, I am going to continue to disagree with your disagreement.
Ok. Same.
