      I just gave you an article from the AAAS explaining in detail the inherent fallacy of differentiating between "accidental" overdoses and suicides by overdose. And even the ones that were by "accident" can be considered "deaths by despair" that are clearly linked to the lockdown.

      cool thanks for googling things that anyone can google. the difference is i have the foundational knowledge to interpret the nuance of what's being said, you only have the desire to prove that you're right

      Yes I've read your "I'm an expert in these 10 different things" Twitter bio. You're either the youngest looking 100 year old I've ever come across or exaggerating your actual expertise in these things.

      just like i don't care about your ability to hamfistedly use google to find things you believe, I don't care about your opinion of me either

      Citing relevant facts from reliable sources like the CDC, and opinions from people like the author of that AAAS article I cited, is far from ham-fistedly googling things. You've taken a rather definitive stance that suicides haven't increased during the lockdown.

      They have decreased in almost every state of North America, regardless of whether or not drug overdoses increased. For example, in Utah, suicides were down sharply, and there was no increase in drug overdoses.

      "For example, in Utah, suicides were down sharply, and there was no increase in drug overdoses." Ballpark figure, how many of the 50 states had this dynamic? 1? 5? 10?

      we don't have nearly enough data to know However, there is no current correlation between size of suicide decrease and size of drug overdose increase.

      Replying to @tylerblack32 @inden_l and

      What we know was that the spike in overdoses was much larger than the dip in suicides, and that both happened within a few weeks of the lockdown going into effect (see figures 3 and 5) https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/vsrr/vsrr011-508.pdf …

      Always worth noting that the dramatic rise in overdose deaths in the US began in November 2019. There were headlines about it in Jan 2020. In this case, it's not even really correlated that well!
