Adjusting Japan's 1,626 fatalities as of Oct 10, 2020 for their population differential vs America yields a 4,200 fatality count, which is well below the US total. But many of us have been talking about the consequences of a hard lock-down. This is the first honest appraisal with actual data I've seen on this topic. The fact that children are taking their own lives should be stapled to the foreheads of American pols and people who support a hard lock-down.

I believe the total death toll,medical side effects,drug abuse and overall societal decay etc. outweighs the fake death toll from Corona by 10 to 1.

Imagine how isolation is affecting our children. It's bad enough if you have a sibling or two to interact with. For only children it can be excruciating. Solitary confinement is rough on hardened criminals, it must be much worse for innocent children!

We flattened the curve, but the left wasn't satisfied.

We've flattened our children, and they still aren't satisfied.

Or as Livius adds:

But all the “public service” ad pitches for masks, isolation, etc. are that if somebody else gets “the virus,” it’s your fault. Children particularly are made to feel like radioactive waste, and to regard everybody else - especially all other children - as equal threats. They will indeed have a sense of diminished self-worth all of their lives. Especially for breaking out and doing normal kid things like laughing, jumping around - in other words, innocent fun and human expression. That won’t permitted in our future Marxist paradise.

That can't be good...

I’m not buying that.....suicide is not uncommon in Japanese culture when there isn’t covid.
