More People Died Of Suicide Last Week In Tennessee Than COVID-19

Authored by Mac Slavo via SHTFplan.com,

As we previously warned, this pandemic will bankrupt and kill more people from suicide than the virus will. When you sacrifice people’s livelihoods, you create a difficult situation of desperation for many who will see no other way out.

We are about to have a mental health crisis during an economic depression that will be tough to live through.  The virus is no longer the problem.  The government’s reaction has been the problem and even some politicians have figured it out. Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs revealed in a weekly update that our solution to this pandemic has not been a good one. 

“Thus far, our reaction to COVID-19 has been to sacrifice the global economy,” said Jacobs.

“The truth is: a sick economy produces sick people.”

Most people don’t want to hear the truth, unfortunately, and the longer state governments insist on businesses being closed and an economy shut down to combat what’s looking like a fairly insignificant virus for most of the population, the aftermath will worsen.  Each day that drags on will make the next few years more difficult.

“Last year, our medical examiner performed autopsies for 199 confirmed or suspected suicides from across the region, with 83 of those coming from Knox County. Over the past 48 hours, that office has now examined nine suspected suicides, eight of which are from Knox County alone. For Knox County, that’s almost ten percent of last year’s total number in the past two days alone,” Jacobs added.

We’ve said it before and it needs to be said again, we should no longer be preparing for a pandemic, but social unrest, violence, and economic depression. The longer the economy is shut down, the more horrific the future social unrest will be. Jacobs is questioning the tyrannical measures and authoritarian power grabs by politicians.

Jacobs called the suicide numbers “utterly shocking” and said he is questioning if the government is taking the right approach in responding to COVID-19. “Is what we are doing now really the best approach? How can we respond to COVID-19 in a way that keeps our economy intact, keeps people employed, and empowers our people with a feeling of hope and optimism, not desperation and despair?” he said.

“That’s startling and disturbing and really, really challenging to think about how some of the things we have to do as a community right now could be contributing to these things,” she said.

“The more important message today that I want to deliver is that now more than ever we need to be kinder and gentler with ourselves and with each other. If there’s anybody out there who’s struggling, I encourage you to reach out.”

We want to thank Jacobs for standing up against all the other tyrants out there using this virus as an excuse to commit economic suicide and impoverish millions of people. Now let’s face reality: it’s time to reopen the economy and salvage what’s left if we can.  The longer this drags on, the direr our situation becomes.

I am sorry to say that this situation will most likely get only worse. As hard as I look at the TPTB and MSM, I can’t see the compassion they say they have for all the people this shutdown is suppose to be helping. The increased suicide rate is just another indication they are pissing down our backs while telling us it is raining. When will all these sociopaths be held accountable for their complicity in what is taking place? Enough of that rant!

My thoughts and prayers go out to those families that have been touched by suicide. It is an empty feeling and an anger that will never go away. I pray you find someone to help you understand it so you can find some peace. God be with all the survivors.

This is straight out of the communist operation manual: humiliate, beat, starve, rob, drug and generally make financially miserable a population, and they will believe and do anything you tell them to, with the utmost obedience.

“reopen the economy and salvage what’s left”

since that will entail dropping the federal reserve fiat debt dollar, how can that salvage be accomplished?

This is just spin on the numbers.

every day, 3-4 thousand people die in this country, from heart disease to diabetes, to cancer, to gunshots, to flu.

now they are counting any death in a hospital as due to complications with this mysterious Babylon virus

nothing to see here, move along.

Leadership should be worried, leaving the people with nothing to lose will bite them in the ass bigly.

So, does this mean Tennessee is doing a good job of keeping Covid deaths low?
Or is some kind a veiled attempt to say people are such snowflakes they cannot tolerate a few weeks of being cooped up in their homes without sticking a gun in their mouth?

How many of these suicides were tweekers and drug addicts who could no longer access their drug of choice?

Economic collapse does cause depression and increases suicide rates, but come on, we are 3 weeks into this, the economic impacts of this have not even begun.

The economic ramifications of this are going to be bad, really bad, worse than anything anyone alive today could imagine, but we are not there yet. I would imagine anyone offing themselves now were on the edge before this started.

Not everyone will make it through this, and that is sad, but ultimately for society, it is probably not a bad thing. We have reached a point in our society where Darwinism is probably needed.

You can always get access to the drug of your choice. If you can’t then why was it so hard to control drugs before the Virus?

Is the cee eye A playing a game? Because they control the drug trade.

How about maybe some people were stressed out about their small business before because thin margins and this just drove them right over the edge.

I pray that a lot of people here in TN feel blessed by our apparent numbers regarding this apparent pandemic.

I personally pray that there is an underlying struggle in progress, and hope the good guys win.

I hope it’s not someone I know because I’m afraid that is more likely then knowing someone who will die from the Virus.
