which has the UK's latest suicide data which is published quarterly and one stand-out that is very much relevant to suicide statistics globally during this pandemic and I quote:
"The increase in registered suicides during the third quarter of 2020 likely reflects the resuming of coroner’s inquests"
That right there is a huge factor and why I really don't feel we will know the true extent upon suicide until later this year, and few years after.
