I dont understand this argument at all, those are totally unrelated, not wearing a mask can literally cause someones death, and besides that almost all of those 800k are found within a day, and most are custodial.
Why is there suddenly all this stuff about missing kids in the US, is this actually a major growing issue? (I'd imagine not from the kind of people who seem to share these facts, but I've honestly no idea)
Besides the fact that this statistic is irrelevant to the COVID pandemic, facts not stated in the meme:
According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, roughly 800,000 children are reported missing each year in the United States -- that's roughly 2,000 per day. Of those, there are 115 child "stranger abduction" cases each year, which means the child was taken by an unknown person.
115 children abducted by a stranger in a year. That means the rest were abducted by family members (custody disputes are probably most of them) or by people the family knows.
And how many people have died this year from a stranger giving them COVID?
Not quite the same "punch" to the data when you analyze it, is it?
