Jacki Pick: Artificial Depression Built Around Coronavirus Will Kill Thousands
Breitbart ^ | 28 Apr 2020 | Robert Kraychik

Posted on 04/28/2020 7:51:30 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

An artificial depression created around the coronavirus outbreak by American leadership will kill thousands of Americans, explained Jacki Pick, host of the Jacki Daily Show on BlazeMedia, warning of the consequences of varying economic shutdowns across the nation ostensibly aimed at addressing the viral spread. She offered her analysis on Tuesday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow.

In her recently-published article, “What a Prolonged Shutdown Will Cost in Human Life,” Pick wrote:

A prolonged shutdown could bring tens of thousands of deaths through spikes in rates of suicide, heart attack, missed cancer diagnoses, domestic violence deaths, substance abuse, and more. We have evidence that these deaths are coming, and the shutdown is only a month old.

“For whatever reason, we decided to artificially create a depression around [a once-in-a-century pandemic],” Pick said. “Leadership created a demand collapse for oil — basically gasoline — and then any oil-derived products.”

Russia’s and Saudi Arabia’s “so-called price war,” Pick noted, offered geopolitical advantage to the two states relative to the U.S.

State ownership of oil resources and production offer Russia and Saudi Arabia advantages over their privately-owned stateside counterparts, Pick added, given government enterprises greater capacities to endure losses when compared private companies.

“They’re taking advantage of the situation,” said Pick of Russia and Saudi Arabia. “They’re kicking us while we’re down. … This is their opportunity to take out the top producer — their top competitor on Earth — and they’re doing it and they are succeeding.”

There will be no COD heart attacks.
There will be no COD suicides.

There will only be COVID-19 deaths.

Gotta pad the statistics to “justify” the tyranny.

During the Great Depression, the only number of deaths that increased was suicides. Over the course of the Great Depression, average life expectancy of folks in the USA increased by 4 years of something.

“A prolonged shutdown could bring tens of thousands of deaths through spikes in rates of suicide, heart attack, missed cancer diagnoses, domestic violence deaths, substance abuse, and more.”

I am not seeing how the shutdown will cause more heart attacks and those that are suicidal, prone to substance abuse or are in relationships that will end in violent death, have larger personal issues than a pandemic, and those problems would have emerged pandemic or no pandemic.

Those that will perish by this lock down other than COVID will be astronomically more in the long run.

Really? So, you don’t sense any added stress or emotional dislocation from our current situation?

From what I see, most people are able to handle the pandemic situation rather well. With that, I have seen no evidence that would support the idea that the rate fatal heart attacks has increased.

Having struggled with depression, I’m not sure there’s such a thing as “artificial” depression.

Life comes in good spurts and bad spurts learning to deal with that is part of being an adult.

Libs seem to believe they have a right to all good times and to never be offended or sad. No way in hell does that work.

So, I guess I feel like this is the cleaning of the gene pool.

If you live life there are built in obstacles. You either deal with them or you don’t.

In NYC there were 20 dead by starvation the first year. The last year of the Depression it was 110 dead. (At least according to the second link below). Not too bad for a city the size of NYC.

My wife was getting all hysterical about the number of deaths during the Great Depression. She quoted somebody on twitter that had it at “hundreds of thousands due to the Great Depression”. That didn’t sound right. Yeah - times were REALLY tough, but I never heard from my parents (born 1917) about the mass die offs.

Excerpt:

President Herbert Hoover declared, “Nobody is actually starving. The hoboes are better fed than they have ever been.” But in New York City in 1931, there were 20 known cases of starvation; in 1934, there were 110 deaths caused by hunger. There were so many accounts of people starving in New York that the West African nation of Cameroon sent $3.77 in relief.
