Another way of thinking about this is that you can prevent suicides by restricting access to the means of suicide
What do I mean by that? Well, if you make it more difficult to access the method of suicide that people use, fewer people die from suicide OVERALL For example, putting up fences on bridgespic.twitter.com/HI5xiq1lyo
This is, in part, because suicide is more of an impulsive act than many people recognize Additional barriers, even pretty small ones, can deter a surprisingly large number of people from going on to die from suicide
What does this mean for COVID-19? Well, it's not as simple as "suicides didn't go up therefore everything's fine" Suicides numbers may not have risen, but there are complex reasons that this could be the case
It's possible that the restrictions imposed that kept people at home also reduced their access to means, which then could've reduced the total rate suicide
Conversely, the impact of restrictions might simply be delayed, and we'll see a rise in suicides as the year progresses It's very hard to know for sure!
