Posted March 2020: Seventeen (17) Americans have died from the Coronavirus. Federal and states’ government agencies have responded to what is described as an epidemic. The news coverage is without pause. The president has declared an emergency, eliminated federal regulations to allow states’ researchers freedom to find a vaccine, millions of dollars designated to fight the virus.
Death by (Recorded) Suicide:
2019: 47,172 Americans
2018: 48,344 Americans
2017: 47,173 Americans
2016: 44,965 Americans
2015: 44,193 Americans
Take away: 17 Americans dead due to a virus equals nonstop media coverage and government mobilization; 231,847 suicides (Average of 46,369 annually from 2015-2019) equals scant coverage and mediocre response from nation: citizens and government.
Pondering why…
