You have to wonder at what point all of the people who said we'd be facing a massive wave of suicides by now will admit they were wrong My guess: never. It wasn't about the facts anywayhttps://twitter.com/GidMK/status/1336493616097681412 …

For example, these figures seem to be mostly for the entirety of 2020. How much of that time was spent under lockdown in these places? What were the suicide rates like in those months? What was the trend before, and what does it look like now?

I think you're twisting things a bit. Cook County up 13% seems to be for the first half of 2020. Fresno up 70% is specifically June 2020 vs June 2019. I'm not specifically focused on lockdowns, because many other pandemic factors are factors known to be related to suicide.

You posted published data from Japan that had 30% increase in suicide (and trending to + rise) now vs last year. The one article I posted did reference the month and county/city, so when/if there is official data it can be verified. The other article suggested a large spike too.

Yep, and Japan never locked down! It is a very interesting counter example. Conversely, the one area that they did close - schools - did not see a rise in suicidality. And yes, one month comparison for a place with 2 suicides last year and 6 this year. No trend data etc
