Or the other 50 year old healthy people who don’t wanna change anything in their lives who are now on ventilators. Ask me how I know about that.
I’ve seen anecdotal evidence about childhood suicides, but I don’t see kids dying left and right from suicide around here or on the news, so I’m guessing that’s just anecdotal. The data is the data on it right?
Of course it’s human nature to get worn out on it after this long. That’s why everyone talked about controlling it early, but we didn’t and here we are. So, dig in mates, it’s only gonna get worse before it gets better.

That's the thing about anecdotal evidence, though.
Despite being in a "hotspot" for the better part of the last 6 months, I know of more suicides than CASES (not deaths from COVID, cases). In my group of friends and acquaintances, only two people have had COVID. One of them has lung cancer AND COPD, and recovered in about 3 weeks. I've had 3 acquaintances commit suicide.
