Although there are no published studies about the coronavirus outbreak and its effect on global suicide rates, Japan and South Korea have announced a troubling increase over the past few months, according to reports.
The Washington Post noted that in October, Japan reported the highest number of monthly suicides in five years, bringing the total to 2,153. The report said there was a 41 percent jump in suicides among women. The highest increase occurred in those under 29.
South Korea saw a decline in overall suicides but also experienced a 43 percent increase in suicides of women under 29.
Katsunobu Kato, the chief government spokesman in Japan, reportedly said the coronavirus is to blame for increasing anxiety among many. He pointed to school closures, joblessness, and overall isolation due to the virus.
“We need to seriously confront reality,” he said.
TREND FORECAST: As we have forecast since the launching of the COVID War in February, there would be devastating social and economic fallout from the locking down of nations, states, and cities. And, as Gerald Celente has often said, “When people lose everything and have nothing left to lose, they lose it.”
Sadly, they lose in many ways: The loss of self-confidence. The loss of education. The loss of jobs. The loss of businesses. The loss of joy and satisfaction. The loss of dreams, aspirations, and achievement.
Absent a massive movement to raise the human spirit to much higher levels, socioeconomic conditions will continue to deteriorate and suicides, drug overdoses, crime, and violence will escalate.
We at The Trends Research Institute are doing our best to help inspire and motivate a movement to counter the globalists’ “Great Reset” launched by the World Economic Forum with a “Greater Good/Rise to Your Highest Levels” movement for We The People.
