Wait, so now you trust the CDC?
I agree obviously this pandemic has been hard on everyone - especially people who have gotten really sick, lost loved ones, or died. But there is no data yet that suicides are actually up - which is what I was responding to. What I do know is quarantine suicides is a big talking point among the covid denier crowd right now - largely to discredit looking at excess deaths to validate covid deaths.
You know what else really messes with kids' heads? Accidentally giving their grandma covid and killing her. Also school shootings - they talk about it all the time. But I've been told they should just suck it up and realize their odds of actually dying in one are really low. I never get a lot of empathy about depressed or fearful unstable high school kids coming from the same crowd on that one. So forgive me if I don't take this massive surge in empathy for depressed high school kids from people like you and bigcatdaddy at face value.
