Today was National Suicide Prevention Day. 

I read a statistic today (attributed to a story in Scientific American), “for every 1 percent jump in unemployment, there is a 0.8 to 1 percent jump in suicides.”  I don’t remember any stats about the increase, but various news articles have also pointed out the direct correlation between the lock down and child abuse.

How long will it be before we have estimates of the increased number of suicides caused by the government lock-down?  Or the increase in abuse? 

Economists call it “unintended consequences.”  The military calls it “collateral damage.”  Whatever the name, people die because a politician wants to play God.
