‘Merica!

Johns Hopkins reports that lockdown has prevented covid deaths by a factor of 0.02%

(In other words some people were always vulnerable no matter what anyone did, while everyone else has been just fine - temporary mandates rendered worthless. Basically.)

Take that 0.02% of people … let’s just imagine that represents 100,000 people for argument’s sake.

How does that compare to the number of people lost to suicide, drug OD, etc. induced by the lockdowns. These are people who were basically told “just stay home, you serve no functional purpose in society”

If you're not just looking to score a rhetorical point through a graphic and unfalsifiable claim, and in fact do care about suicides driven by a sense of meaningless in contemporary society, you're gonna have to look beyond a one time lockdown as your root cause my man.

I’m talking specifically about the extra ones over the past 2 years that your local blue governor is personally responsible for.

Right so you're looking for the number of people whose suicide notes said something like "I am killing myself because of the covid lockdown, in no way does my current state of mind gloam onto any other forms of immiseration endemic to contemporary society, if it wasn't for the lockdown of April 2020 I would still be alive."

Good luck!

I don’t know. Look it ip and report back. Pay attention to demographic groups that were most negatively impacted financially by Covid (job loss) and corresponding suicide rates.

Overall rate down in 2020.
Down for men, but down more for women.
Up for 25-34. Up insignificantly for 10-24. Down for all other ages.
Up for Hispanic men. Down for Hispanic women.
Insignificant increases for most other races.
Down for whites, because ... whites.

I’m surprised that here in America, circa 2022, it’s still perfectly acceptable to refer to neighborhoods as Chinatown, Koreatown, Little Italy, Little Havana, etc.

In progressive Houston, we call it "Asiatown" now.

I don’t know, but SOMEBODY is fucking offended and I can’t believe these names aren’t cancelled by now.

I wasn't joking about Asiatown. That's the compromise now, at least here. There's also a Mahatma Gandhi district in place of former Little India off Hillcroft Ave.

Ours is officially called Chinatown-International District
