    The suicide rate has dropped in NSW during the pandemic. It fell 5% – the largest reduction in suicide numbers in a decade. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/live/2020/dec/23/australia-coronavirus-northern-beaches-christmas-covid-hotspots-nsw-victoria?CMP=share_btn_tw …

        Wut?? I work in a hospital (covid hub) doing computer simulations, so I should work from home. Instead I go everyday because it's still better than getting panic attacks by being closed in the same room for months

        I googled and it looks like last year was a record high for suicide numbers. So I think it's not straightforward to interpret the decrease

        Yep, numbers have been increasing every year for a while. The rate per 100k has largely remained steady http://www.healthstats.nsw.gov.au/Indicator/men_suidth/men_suidth …

        The year is not over, and stats lag behind. The most suicides is at that time of the year now.

        I don't get why the "progressives" are so focused on saying "see? Suicides didn't rise!". Glad they didn't but as we head in the third lockdown I know countless people that used to be totally ok that are totally breaking down. Can we address this?
