Reuters report explores lockdown deaths

The media is in a mighty sorry state when we have to rely on Reuters for the full story to be reported. Then again, Reuters is based in Britain, and the major American media would never run an investigative report like this...

According to this investigation, even just the business closures are causing a spike in suicides, as people lose their jobs. The problem is magnified exponentially by lockdowns. Domestic violence is taking a toll too, as one New Jersey organization reported a 24% increase in domestic violence reports.

Even with the rigor of military discipline, few are able to adapt to lockdowns. The Air Force Academy has already seen at least 2 suicides caused by lockdowns that the academy instituted (which haven't even been in force for very long yet).

Health agencies are reporting a loss of tax revenue as businesses face a loss of customers. This in turn endangers important public health programs.

I'm not saying unessential businesses shouldn't temporarily close - as long as there's an adequate remedy for economic losses. But lockdowns are a much different matter.

Even the economic toll of lockdowns is immense. Stanford Univerity's Dr. Jay Bhattacharya said, "Depressions are deadly for people, poor people especially."

So that's what all of this is about. Once again, the lives of the poor are deemed to be expendable by our overlords. Next time you see some website or editorial demanding longer lockdowns, remember that their interests are not with saving lives but with protecting their lavish lifestyles. In every place lockdowns have been enacted, the number of new conservavirus cases always rises at a steeper rate, which proves this form of martial law is ineffective at stemming this virus.

There's nothing like a crisis to bring out the absolute worst of elitists' cold inhumanity.
