Will the COVID-19 crisis cause a spike in suicides?

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.

How many more vulnerable young people like Emily will be sacrificed so that the elderly might live a bit longer?

>The production crew of blacked.com will be attending her funeral.

BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP

she should have been a breeding cow on a BBC-farm

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.

>having a codependent autistic yet highly functional cute gf
It just isn’t fair bros

>autism
An actual femanon in the wild

good riddance

How so? Seems the more "PC" thing is for the old generation to take on more risk so that young but troubled people have a better life.

>Implying she is still vaguely warm rn.

>autism makes you introverted, have trouble in social situations, no physical contact, no eye contact
>extroverted gym whore an heros
>it was autism
Yeah, nah.

Why did she commit suicide over the lockdown if she had autism? Autists can go for years without interacting with anyone at all.

No but the documents released to clear Flynn will.

>only attractive girl in Britain
>has autism and kills herself

I'm sorry Britbros

Better than any Greek "woman" I've ever seen.

Nothing of value was lost. Physical beauty doesn't excuse acting like a whore for attention online. Even if it does, so what? Those who an hero have a weak defeatist mentality, especially (attractive) women, who have limitless social nets in Western society.

"Even if it does" is referring to OP's question.

Suicides will increase tremendously only if there is an actual collapse. No more comfort, no more living. Easy as that. People in the "developed" parts of the world don't know what strife is and they definitely aren't ready for it. Doesn't matter how many OH NO THE WORLD IS ENDING movies they've seen.

>implying this doesn't make my dick even harder

Imagine finding her body, and being all alone.

>Sometimes she would choke herself unconscious "to feel in control,"

LMAO. Would've ended up paying a toll down the road anyway. Not a huge loss.

I think a lot of men are aware of this but thirst for collapse regardless. We need danger and strife to push us or else our lives become sterile and meaningless.

same with you dutchfag

Supposedly autism can have different effects on females as compared with males, which makes autistic girls hyper-social with poor understanding of social boundaries.

Unpleasant truths spoken unpleasantly.

This little freakout in the West should be a warning to us all of how brittle we've become.

Kek

All of her blood having pooled and turned into jello, her crusty skin shedding dry flakes. Sunken eyeballs and THE SMELL. Piss, shit and a faint hint of rot. So hot. Imagine the acid reflux.

low quality tits but a waste of fine ass
