> increased the rates of suicides (50%)
Do you have a source for this? I just looked this up, and evidence for any sort of lockdown->suicide link seems very mixed (many places saw a decrease in suicides). The only places I’m seeing +50% is among specific populations in specific locations.

- jeffbee 5y agoThere's no data for that because it's a completely fabricated lie. Suicides in 2020 were lower than in 2019 in the U.S.A. """The provisional number of suicides in 2020 (45,855) was 3% lower than in 2019 (47,511). The provisional age-adjusted suicide rate was also 3% lower in 2020 (13.5 per 100,000) than in 2019 (13.9)""" https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/vsrr/VSRR016.pdf https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/vsrr/VSRR016.pdf
