    I wondered what the CDC was doing about it. In non-surprising news - pretty much nothing. It's a public health issue so they're not interested and they are counting on people to solve the problem. They did make a webpage though. Here's a tweet from September - emphasis mine.

    More than 49,000 people in the U.S. lost their lives to suicide in 2022.

      Guy with this profile picture saying "marxiam is not the answer" to the CDC tweet. The absolute dregs of life that float to the visible surface somehow.

        And then the other dipshits that think spotty lockdowns for like 6-ish --big ish here-- months is a trauma that will never be lifted. That's why they waited to end it like 2 years after the fact. Fuckin' idiots.

          spoiler

          Yeah it was the lockdowns and not the vans of dead people killed by the disease that traumatised people

          As someone with anxiety, the lockdowns meant nothing because it actually became easier to stay inside lmao

          "Lockdowns? Quarantine? Neat! Now I don't have to worry about my body going into fight mode anytime I think about going outside."

      but they didn't lose their lives, they ended their lives

      sounds a bit floofy when they say people "lost their lives" as if it's just something that just kinda happened to them
