The other numbers that must be taken into account are the increases in suicide (or attempts), alcoholism, drug use, depression, domestic abuse, child abuse, domestic violence.

It is a sad commentary that AA meetings are deemed non-essential whereas liquor shops are essential.

Resident - what are the drug numbers compared to the number of lives saved?

And the 100,000 dead Americans?

So far.

It is the RESPONSE to the pandemic (Shelter in Place and lock downs) not the pandemic itself that caused massive devastation to the economy and lives as shown in the data.

D & D

Sorry but the deaths, as bad as they are, are only part of the story. Every life affected whether it by Covid, suicide, drugs and alcohol, abuse of all types, depression, etc. are still valuable lives.

The shelter in place has caused innumerable lives to alter irrevocably. Perhaps we should count each one of these lives also.

I agree with the previous posts about the numbers that are not taken into account with these graphics "increases in suicide (or attempts), alcoholism, drug use, depression, domestic abuse, child abuse, domestic violence."

I like Infographics, I would want to see a separate category for health. Real estate, the economy, labor are things that private interests have control over (and make the news every day), but what are we doing as a society about the things that make us sick and the things that make us healthier. Am sure a page can be filled with health metrics and would be great to track those regularly.

Dr. Sara Cody wants to keep the economic shutdown going in perpetuity based upon her arbitrary ideas of what is best for the well being of the community. In Walnut Creek doctors and nurses have seen more suicide deaths than deaths from the coronavirus over the last two months and more suicide attempts over the last two months than what they see in a year both as a result of the economic shut down.

I pose this question to Dr. Cody, how many people in Santa Clara County have died from suicide and attempted suicide over the last two months compared to the same time period a year ago and a typical year’s worth?

If Dr. Cody were out of job and looking at losing her apartment from lack of resources her position on the shutdown would be the exact opposite of what she is currently promoting.

Sonoma County Sheriff Mark Essick To No Longer Enforce Public Health Orders
“Yet we continue to see successive Public Health Orders that contain inconsistent restrictions on business and personal activities without explanation,” said Essick. “Based on what we have learned, now is the time to move to a risk-based system and move beyond blanket orders that are crushing our community.”

California doctor claims he’s seen more deaths by suicide than coronavirus
DeBoisblanc believes the mental health cost proves “it’s time” to end the shelter-in-place in the county of more than a million people, he told the station.

"We've never seen numbers like this, in such a short period of time," he said. "I mean we've seen a year's worth of suicide attempts in the last four weeks."
Kacey Hansen has worked as a trauma nurse at John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek for almost 33 years. She is worried because not only are they seeing more suicide attempts, she says they are not able to save as many patients as usual.

"What I have seen recently, I have never seen before," Hansen said. "I have never seen so much intentional injury."
"Personally I think it's time," said Dr. Mike deBoisblanc. "I think, originally, this (the shelter-in-place order) was put in place to flatten the curve and to make sure hospitals have the resources to take care of COVID patients.We have the current resources to do that and our other community health is suffering."

With a 200 to 300% increase in poverty brought on by the economic shut down we can expect there to be a corresponding increase in the number of deaths from poverty; rising from 291,000 a year to a million a year for the next few years; that's an increase of 600,000 deaths a year a direct result from the economic shutdown.

Poverty can kill, researchers say Poverty kills 291,000 people a year

"If you say that 193,000 deaths are due to heart attack, then heart attack matters," Galea said. "If you say 300,000 deaths are due to obesity, then obesity matters. Well, if 291,000 deaths are due to poverty and income inequality, then those things matter too."

Poverty is often cited as contributing to poor health. Now, in an unusual approach, researchers have calculated how many people poverty kills and presented their findings, along with an argument that social factors can cause death the same way that behavior like smoking cigarettes does.

People all over the third world have died of starvation, suicide and not being able to get medical procedures done because of the lock downs. The movie called Plandemic exposing the Conspiracy to shutdown the global economy has been taken off of facebook. They don't want us to know about how we've been played to live in fear and accept medical tyranny where Trillions of dollars will be funneled to big business and big foundations. Gill Bates is not our friend.

If I wanted to be censored, I'd join facebook. I'm moving to Austin. See you friends later.
