WISCONSIN COUNTY SEES UPTICK IN SUICIDES

As we have forecast since February, the draconian actions taken by politicians to fight the COVID War, on many levels, would be more deadly than the virus.
The number of suicides in Wisconsin’s Dane County last week has surpassed the total number from the previous year, and health experts reportedly see a link between lockdown orders and the trend.
“When people are lonely, it’s really hard to cope,” said Hannah Flanagan, Director of Emergency Services for Journey Mental Health Center.
The Wisconsin State Journal reported that Dane County recorded 57 suicides, and the numbers are up for those between 25 and 38. Flanagan told the paper that calls to the hotline have increased by 15 percent. Aside from suicides, UnityPoint Health-Meriter’s Child and Adolescent Hospital saw an admission jump in July by roughly 25 percent, the report said.
“I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve heard parents say that they feel like their children have wilted,” Dr. Katy Cahill, a pediatrician at Associated Physicians in Madison, told the paper. “We definitely have seen an uptick in mental health concerns across all ages, which is really sad and concerning to us.”
Health officials have warned it is too early to make any determination based on the connection between COVID lockdowns and mental health, and they say there are other factors outside suicide figures that need to be considered for the public’s overall mental health.
The Des Moines Register reported that more Iowans committed suicide in a couple of months during the coronavirus outbreak, but it was unclear if there was a connection.
The report also said a study by the CDC pointed out that one in four young adults (aged 18-24) reported contemplating suicide during the coronavirus outbreak.
The Register reported that Governor Kim Reynolds has used mental health as a motivator to avoid new lockdowns.
“Do you want to talk about the suicides that have ticked up?” she asked a reporter, according to the Register. “Do you want to talk about the kids that aren’t in school? We’re doing a lot. And I’m proud of what we’re doing. Any death is one too many and it’s heart-wrenching to see the numbers, but I have to balance a lot.”
TRENDPOST: Despite Iowa not imposing strict lockdown rules and reopening quickly, restaurants, shops, and the hospitality sector are barely rebounding, and nightlife is lifeless. With the media selling 24/7 Covid Fear & Hysteria, the general public, trapped in a New ABnormal mindset, are not in a “go out and have a good time” state of mind.
