Stats please.. or you are talking though your ass


I think the suicide rate will likely increase. People are already stir crazy.


I personally that a lockdown that long is counter-productive. They should be using this time to increase ICU capacities to handle a peak without a lockdown. Once they can, they should restore normal flow and let the virus move and then dissipate. Also I think in about another month people will start ignoring the stay-at-home directives. And the fines strike me as non-enforcable as there are no courts in session. Pleading not-guilty and waiting for a court date would give you time for a 'non-speedy trial' defense.


But I don't think they governments have been increasing anything.

If there is an 18 month lockdown there will be civil unrest and the murder rate and suicide rate will skyrocket.

You're right. That's just commonsense.

There are several people here lacking that, though.

The lockdown will kill more people than coronavirus.

WE know from news reports that domestic violence is on the rise. Just a matter of time until someone dies from it.
What amazes me is that liquor sales are up dramatically. How is it that all these people that now have no jobs can afford booze?

Is your government not paying the wages of furloughed workers as is happening in Britain?

The Coronavirus Is Exposing Little Tyrants All Over The Country
Some mayors and governors seem to think their authority is limitless in the face of the pandemic. They need a remedial lesson in the Constitution.

End the lockdown.

See of them are being exposed on this forum.

A bunch of lefties who are enjoying the government ordering people about. That's the kind of society they want to live in.

I think they might increase is not stats, no link proving they will.

People are locked in prison for years, what's the suicide rates for prisoners??

How about POWs of war?

People are not locked away, the government is just enforcing physical distance.


Do you have any stats from the future at all? Kinda hard to produce without a time travel device.
