Posted in: 1,805 suicides reported in Japan in September See in context
StrangerlandToday 12:40 am JST
The number of reported suicides in Japan in September was 1,805
————
That's even more in just a month than the reported death by the COVID in Japan (so far 1631, probably underestimated but anyway...). Just think about it. This actually illustrates so well that over-reacting to a threat can produce a worse outcome than the threat itself.
You do realize that people committed suicide before Covid right? The difference (accounting for nothing other than numbers) is:
an increase of 143
Which is a lot less than 1805 Covid deaths, and unfortunately for you blows your narrative out of the water.
Well, aren’t you fuckin’ clever
