    Approximately 33% increase in suicide attempts on the Toronto subway since the lockdowns began.

    Probably just a coincidence.

    Unless some talking head expert on TV says so, many will "not buy" this is relevant. The herd 'thinks' as it is instructed to think by sophisticated propaganda.

    Yes, suicides are up, and we can thank Fauci & Friends for that cruel statistic.

    12000 have died from the virus. How many have died from suicide? How many of those suicides are of people whose loved ones died from the virus?

    What did Fauci do, besides trying to get as many as people to not die form covid?

    Perhaps some actual perspective is in order.

    Herd huh?

    So when Trump tells you to ignore actual scientific evidence in favor of fantastic lies unbelievable even among small children and you do so en masse risking your lives, the lives of your families and friends in a seemingly religious crusade who then is the herd?

    Think back to the day you decided wearing a mask was unacceptable. What did you think before and why did you change your mind?

    Herd.

    Fauci is mainly responsible for the difference between US deaths per capita and South Korea deaths per capita.

    it probably is, if I read the numbers right it was around 26 last period, and 35 this period, seems insignificant to me.

    How selfish of these people who commit suicide on the tracks. They're going to force people to clean up their possibly COVID-19 infected guts off the track!

    No he's not. The people mainly responsible are the "no one tells me what to do, it's mai right" crowd encouraged by Trump

    Suicides are a serious concern ...when we're talking about gun control.

    Lockdowns don't fit the narrative, so authoritarians be all 'pffft'.

    Of course he is. He made the incorrect decisions when (actually after) South Korea made the correct ones. He even had their example to follow and still messed up. Then he told dumb lies to cover up for it.

    Right, theres been 1700 covid deaths and only 10 more suicide incidents (including failures) in toronto.

    Sad but hardly an argument against lockdowns and other preventative safety measures.

    Which procedures carried out by South Koreans would the ""no one tells me what to do, it's mai right" crowd encouraged by Trump, have followed?

    Few to none, if any, that's the whole point.

    He lied and deceived. He practiced fear-mongering and terrorism.

    Another post founded on a cornerstone of ignorance. FYI dadoalex, I did not vote for Trump in either election. I hold him in low esteem.

    Wearing a mask is the sacrament of the Church Of The Poisoned Mind. I could see that without any help from Donald Trump.

    The virus is as dangerous as the flu virus, even by the government's own data. I could see that without any help from Donald Trump.

    The land of the free and home of the brave is a thing of the past, if it ever was at all. In many states one is not free to go without a mask, and many citizens tremble in fear over a virus as dangerous as flu.

    I’ve been over the fact many times. Ironically, one of the most exhaustive examples is a correspondence with @truth and justice who is asking the same question again now after having me educate him/her on the subject in the past. Please read this and if you have any questions I’m happy to elaborate further.

    So Trump had help. I guess that even the Olde Master needed some assistance in ****ing things up THIS badly.

    So far nobody has been able to provide me with any evidence any of the decisions in this matter or the lies told to cover up were Trump’s idea in any way. I have a hard time believing Trump knows enough about asymptomatic viral spread to come up with a lie that would have snookered those such as yourself. But Fauci did. You are welcome to provide evidence this specific issue was spearheaded by D. Trump.
