What was included:
- fragmentary stats about considering suicide and attempted suicide within a choosen few specific groups
What was not included:
- how many attempts actually succeeded
- what were the stats in the whole population and within other groups
Meanwhile:
> A total of 5,568 youth living in the United States died by suicide during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The majority of youth decedents were male (79.2%), non-Hispanic White (59.6%) and died by firearm (51.1%). [1]
Somehow when they kill themselves it's fine, not even worth mentioning, but when women "consider killing themselves" it's a big problem.
