Are Suicides on the Rise?

I’m really concerned that people living paycheck to paycheck, who are suddenly without jobs because their workplaces are closed aren’t going to see any other way out.

I’m also concerned that a lot of the people stocking up on everything under the sun are going into debt to do so, and aren’t going to be working, so for a while are just going to be paying off the interest. What are they going to do if this isn’t just a month, or six weeks, but two or three months?

I’ve read how in the last few years there has been a rise in deaths of despair, especially among white people, not sure what the exact numbers are without googling.

There is talk of the government cutting a check to people for $1000, that probably would help people for a month anyway, if they still have a little income or savings, which most Americans don’t have much in savings.

I don’t know how much can really be done, I see a lot of homeless and mentally ill people who live horrible, horrible lives that don’t kill themselves, whatcha gonna do?
