Where are the statistics on suicide, drug ODs and alcoholism for the last two years? No stories at all on that that I've seen.
Stats on suicide! You make an excellent point.
Of course, we already know that they cherry-pick the stories that advance “someone’s” agenda.
But in a short while we will hear about this epidemic of suicides; and exhortations of how the taxpayers need to kick in about $300 billion per year to solve the crisis.
God have mercy on us all.
9. Lockdowns kill people. There is strong evidence that lockdowns – through social, economic and other public health damage – are deadlier than the “virus”.
Dr David Nabarro, World Health Organization special envoy for Covid-19 described lockdowns as a “global catastrophe” in October 2020:
We in the World Health Organization do not advocate lockdowns as the primary means of control of the virus[…] it seems we may have a doubling of world poverty by next year. We may well have at least a doubling of child malnutrition […] This is a terrible, ghastly global catastrophe.”
A UN report from April 2020 warned of 100,000s of children being killed by the economic impact of lockdowns, while tens of millions more face possible poverty and famine.
Unemployment, poverty, suicide, alcoholism, drug use and other social/mental health crises are spiking all over the world. While missed and delayed surgeries and screenings are going to see increased mortality from heart disease, cancer et al. in the near future.
The impact of lockdown would account for the small increases in excess mortality [Facts 2 & 6]
