I am taking a few liberties with the stats, but hear me out.
If you take the data that 4 weeks of suicides = the amount of suicides in a year....
Extrapolate the annual expcected suicides in a year in U.S.
48,000 normal times 13 (52 divided by 4) .
That equals 624,000. minus the baseline of 48,000 which would equal an additional 576,000 added suicides on an annual basis due to COVID-19 stress.
I know that number seems high, and probably far fetched, but there is no doubting that human isolation wears on the human psyche, and the true number is probably somewhere in the 100's of thousands. And how many deaths from COVID-19 direct were expected?
