This seems similar to the concern from the AZ that I wonder if it's happening with the Russian one too.
Too lazy to look, is AZ still on hold in Europe?
It was a pretty short pause for AZ

probably. all adenovirus based. pausing any of the three based on what we've seen seems to be overly cautious move to me but I'm no scientist obviously.

According to the former president of the United States the pause is a political favor to Pfizer, who treated the former president very unfairly because he pushed them so hard to develop a vaccine and without his persistence may have never developed one at all.

I'm bad at stats. Are you saying that people who would have died from suicide died from COVID instead? That hadn't occurred to me.

How do you guise explain this?

https://twitter.com/nytdavidbrooks/status/1382046672323235843?s=20
Random brainstorm like a McKinsey session with a billion sticky notes on the wall:

- Built in excuse to not perform/Reduction in work, social, or school pressure.
- Less in person bullying.
- government support programs kept people afloat financially
- Fewer new relationships formed that ultimately result in failed relationships
- Social anxiety reduced because there is no socializing in person

good one. Also employers focusing on the mental well being of their employees. less social stigma to address mental health.

The sleep idea is a good one. Also there has just been a lot of talk about the importance of mental health even if a lot of it has been insincere bullshit from people who just wanted to fully open the economy.

"The Parents in favor of In person Learning" screeched all year long about how their kids were all committing suicide because schools were closed.

JOCO had a huge drop.

Suicide had been the nation's 10th leading cause of death, but dropped to 11th in 2020. That was mainly due to the arrival of COVID-19, which killed at least 345,000 Americans and became the nation's No. 3 killer. But the decline in suicide deaths also contributed to the ranking fall.

The 345,000 COVID deaths figure sort of makes me doubt all of the other numbers in the article.

I think it was just the figure between Jan 1 2020 and Dec 31 2020.

345K is just deaths directly attributed to to COVID in 2020. Almost +500K deaths for 2020 overall. Suicide deaths down in 2020 vs 2019.

My kids' mental health seemed to get a lot better after the shutdowns last spring. Didn't have to deal with bullies and obnoxious people at school. Could be at home with Mrs SSOC all day. Finish school by 11am and then work on their hobbies or play outside. They seemed significantly happier.

Edit: not sure how to make that image smaller. sorry

my company is giant and we do a lot of employee wellbeing surveys like giant companies do. ours showed a dramatic uptick in employee satisfaction with us as a company and with their day to day jobs in 2020. a lot of work is being done right now to classify exactly what that is attributable to.

I go into the office regularly.  There's no one there, it's right next to the BHAM zoo and botanical gardens and very close to many good eateries, and outdoor beer gardens/breweries.

Getting out of the house is great.

Try it sometime.
