Self-inflicted deaths around the globe have been linked to fears over the COVID-19 pandemic, and psychologists are concerned that a resulting economic downturn could cause a more dramatic spike in rates. In late March, before most of the United States had been put under state-mandated stay-at-home orders, President Donald Trump predicted "suicides by the thousands" if the economy was stalled by lockdowns. Researchers are concerned that lockdowns can have an adverse effect on mental health, as people feel isolated and tend to fixate on a steady stream of bad news.
The death of an Indian father named K Balakrishna was attributed to fear that he was infected with the Coronavirus. Similarly, the suicide of a British teenager named Emily Owen became a viral story after it was reported that she killed herself because she "couldn't cope" with self-isolation measures.
The girl who killed herself over coronavirus isolation had high-functioning autism and other mental health issues.
Emily Owen, from Kings Lynn, Norfolk, was described by her family as sensitive and "a little bit crazy." Four years ago she was diagnosed with high-functioning autism. Her friends revealed how the 19-year-old had self-harmed in the past as a "cry for help." Sometimes she would choke herself unconscious "to feel in control," her friends said. Emily's family suspect the "fear of the unknown" caused by the coronavirus pandemic may have driven her over the edge.

Why should the suicidal be forced to live because we can’t cope when they’re gone? We don’t owe them anything.

I'm pretty sure she did that after like 2 days of isolation. I don't think there will be many deaths from the likes of her, but all the people who have lost their jobs is a similar story. Both suicide and drug addiction/poverty deaths.
But killing 2 young people to give a geriatric person a chance is the PC thing to do.
