Five Times More Children Committed Suicide Than Died of COVID-19 During Lockdown: UK Study

The people in government should have know that. They are responsible for the deaths.

[Pollard]

and you can bet there will be more lockdowns this fall.

It really is starting to look like a depopulation event. If they keep this up for another year or two with scariant after scariant, we will have lost 20-25% of the planet with actual covid being the smallest killer.

The war on children by the ruling oligarchies is by far the most heinous...

Trump brought this up early on...but everyone was more concerned about themselves and controlling the sheeple.

[george76]

Lock downs and mask mandates already re-started...

Woman dictating LA County Shutdowns is not a Medical Doctor nor a scientist but a welfare grifter. .

Los Angeles County has a glorified community organizer posing as a public health director shutting everything down indefinitely. “Doctor” Barbara Ferrer (doctorate in social welfare, not medical ).

Scared them to death

Oh look!

Another thing the media is covering up.

The Media should be charged with Murder

Wait a minute. Numbers must be pure.

What number of children committed suicide in 2019, before the virus arrived?

[Mr Radical]

I was curious whether the Chinese virus/lockdown had affected the suicide rate in this age group; researching some stats it seems that the number 124 is fairly normal [alas] in the 10-20 age group.

[blueunicorn6]

Just part of the plan.

This is a UK study of young suicides published 2017/8 for data a year or two before that. The suicide numbers look similar to what is quoted above.

One interesting thing is a common suicide cause in children is bereavement. A family member dies and the child can’t endure it.

Covid may cause child suicides in that manner. A grandparent, perhaps.

[Mr Radical]

the latest stat I could find was 316 suicides in two years 2017-18 in the 10-20 year age group.

they’ll just tell you you gotta break a few eggs to make an omelet

[Paradox]

What number of children committed suicide in 2019, before the virus arrived? Good question, Data mean nothing without context.

[SomeCallMeTim]

I was predicting this a year ago. What we’ve done to young people in the past year is criminal.

[SomeCallMeTim]

It would be interesting to know the increase from year to year. But, even seeing that the number is 5x less than the background level of suicides puts the risk in more understandable terms: ie, VERY low.

In the US, overdose deaths increased by 30%. I suspect suicides increased at least a little.

[jmacusa]

45 years ago the younger brother of a dear friend of mine committed suicide at the age of 15 because his parents didn't approve of his girlfriend, who was 17. It devastated the family and my friend was never quite the same again. Young kids commit suicide for many reasons, bereavement, as you stated, for reasons of anger or rejection by their friends, because they are being sexually abused or any number of reasons. Most young people don't understand the finality of death though. It's very sad to see young people end a life that had so much promise.

Science speaks, and will almost certainly be silenced!
