It should be noted that the study the article is covering only looked at people in Maryland, so the findings don't necessarily apply to the rest of the country.

It should be noted that the study the article is covering only looked at people in Maryland, so the findings don't necessarily apply to the rest of the country. I also think it is interesting that the article doesn't mention what the actual suicide rates are/were. Prior to the pandemic white suicide rates were more than twice that of black suicide rates. In 2017 suicide rates were: - White Men: 28.2 per 100,000 - Black Men: 11.4 per 100,000 - White Women: 8 per 100,000 - Black Women: 3 per 100,000 https://www.usnews.com/news/healthiest-communities/articles/2019-06-20/suicide-by-race-age-in-the-us https://www.usnews.com/news/healthiest-communities/articles/...
