We need to leave encouragers and check in on our workmate and family members office and Friends. Physically picking up a phone and call again. Just being there for them will be very important and that will be good mental health for ourselves also.
I don’t know about suicides but this hysteria is going to push a lot of people over the edge of sanity. Especially those with TDS.
There’s a lot of documented information on that...I read that during the Communist Soviet Union, suicide was rampant
Who knew?

If poverty and financial insecurity were such healthy things, then they would be a lot more popular. But they aren’t, and people avoid them like...the plague. Lives are made miserable and precarious and are shortened in any number of ways. And beyond these things, a wealthier nation can afford to pay for research into more miraculous cures for deadly illnesses.
So if your goal is to reduce the number of premature deaths in America, you don’t destroy the economy to do so.
good of PJDT to expand the description of a real depression to include drug addiction. Got a little closer to painting the picture any thinking person understands. Drugs => Crime => Assaults/Robberies. Also, maybe not so much everywhere in the USA but surely some places and definitely places like Africa. Global Depression => General breakdown of civil order, Breakdown in public health & Sanitation = > Disease. Food distribution disrupted => Starvation.
I get it that it’s a bleak picture. Maybe too awful to throw out there. But yikes, this “shut the economy down” yelping is serious business. just dumping cash out of C-130 cargo doors may not be able to stop the spiral downward.
Not just suicides, but also domestic violence and other types of deaths
Only the strong survive pioneers nod.
Suicides, drug ODs, etc, an economically stressed society will see these increase!
