did i give you any numbers er no? i told you a fact. suicides go up in recessions, and thats recessions without social lockdowns which will undoubtedly make things worse. just let me know what ive bent there? sorry you feel peed off for reading something you dont like or misread.How many suicides a day? Small compared with potential number of Covid deaths. Getting so pissed off with people trying to bend stats to fit their own position.
The problem is that other health services are on the back burner because of large numbers of covid cases . The way to maintain health services is to depress the virus.So you dont have an issue with mental health problems rising, suicide rates going up. and other health services being put on the back burner as long as nearly all resources are put into covid. Because that is exactly what is happening.
I suspected as much.Chain.
i form my own opinions based on my life experiences and knowledge, i am happy to do so, i dont get pushed into corners, i try and be respectful of others and i take responsibility for my actions and life choices. i think there are better ways of dealing with covid. but it would take a stronger government than what we have. anyway im not wanting an argument. so have a good day. cheers.I called you on there being a cost analysis against epidemics. For me, life over money every day of the week.
Are you one of these lock the oldies up and let the young ones get on with it?
Wasn't looking for any argument, just expressing my opinion based on my beliefs. Life is so precious and there are no rehersals.i form my own opinions based on my life experiences and knowledge, i am happy to do so, i dont get pushed into corners, i try and be respectful of others and i take responsibility for my actions and life choices. i think there are better ways of dealing with covid. but it would take a stronger government than what we have. anyway im not wanting an argument. so have a good day. cheers.
You quoted it as a way to reinforce the consideration of suicides as a factor that should play some part in lock down decisions. For clarity average suicide rates in the UK are barely into 2 digits per 100k of population per annum. Covid deaths are currently at 2.3 per 100k of population per week. Whilst suicides are tragic they shouldn't have an influence on fighting Covid.did i give you any numbers er no? i told you a fact. suicides go up in recessions, and thats recessions without social lockdowns which will undoubtedly make things worse. just let me know what ive bent there? sorry you feel peed off for reading something you dont like or misread.
This is a forum, not a SAGE meeting. SAGE aren’t coming on here to see what we’ve got to say, but we will all discuss the rights and wrongs of what they do, like any other matter.You can give your opinion on anything you want. It does not mean it is worth anything compared to the consensus of the qualified experts. This is a pandemic not football manager. Do you listen to the average man in the streets opinion on say cancer treatment? Fire safety or do you bow to the experts?
That surprises me, your age that is , but thanks55 Kaz, mother in law passed away from covid in March. Wife is also vulnerable. Therefore we take covid very seriously.
Shouldn't we also consider the number of undiagnosed cancer patients there are due to Covid, or the number of fatal heart attacks and strokes that have gone untreated because of covid as well as the mental stress that many people are having to endure because if Covid?How many suicides a day? Small compared with potential number of Covid deaths. Getting so pissed off with people trying to bend stats to fit their own position.
