“unintended” by whom?
I’m beginning to think very little of this may be “unintended”.

Well, even WaPo provides this on Nov 23, 2020: Rise In Suicides Prompted By Pandemic Is Met With Lack Of U.S. Action

DuPage County has reported a 23 percent rise compared with last year. And in the city itself, the number of suicides among African Americans has far surpassed the total for 2019, even as officials struggle to understand whether the deaths are being driven by the pandemic, racial unrest or both. What has shocked medical examiners in Chicago is the age range — from a 57-year-old deputy police chief to a 9-year-old child. (Wan, 11/23)

Of-course, it focuses on the suicide of a son named "Christian" in so doing: https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/11/23/covid-pandemic-rise-suicides/

Also are recent reports as these: https://www.wspa.com/news/state-news/trend-of-concern-suicide-rates-rapidly-rising-for-10-to-14-year-olds-in-south-carolina/

Thanks for this. These are the buried stats( bad pun intended). RIP all those despairing people.
