This is a possible death vs guaranteed. I guess we view things philosophically different. I don't think people who think like you do will never see it the way people who think like I do. Imminent and certain death vs hypothetical maybe death. SMH. I can't get with you on this one.

I haven't really heard of a spike in depression/suicide deaths. I'm sure there might be an uptick, but oddly enough, one of my kids who was suffering from depression before the stay at home started, and since then, she's actually improved quite a bit.

I know it's anecdotal, but I think people are a bit more resilient than we give them credit for, even during stressful and trying times.

I'm more concerned about economic factors where people are not able to actually pay their bills because of the lack of work. They need to be able to feed their families and have basic support to survive. Many were already living month to month and the $1200 was a drop in the bucket for a lot of people. If Congress is still twiddling their thumbs while businesses remain closed for another month, I wouldn't be surprised to see some serious unrest at some point in the coming weeks.
