Will Keeping the Economy Closed Kill More People Than Coronavirus?!

Foolish people have been posting about how we need to keep the economy shut down in order to save lives and people who want the country open again are only thinking about money. That is foolish.

Suicide attempts are already up 40% since the shut down, that number is about to skyrocket. Unemployed people are 70% more likely to kill themselves. It is not about saving lives vs making money it is about saving lives vs saving lives.
