Economy 52,861 Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 I've heard suicides among youth are going up but I don't know which Countries they were refering to. Edit: Don't know if that was generalized or if they were talking about individual cases like this: https://scoop.upworthy.com/italian-nurse-commits-suicide-italy-covid-19-death-toll-rises Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chromatic Lover 868 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I just hope we could find a vaccine soon and we could get rid of this virus. Everyone is hit by this but the vulnerable to these drastic changes in the economy suffers the most. It's really sad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francesca Cipriani 1,668 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Yes, considering the lockdown will last until mid April, or even early May, the situation will get worse... too many people lost the job because it's all closed: restaurants,shops, hotels...

I don't wanna repeat Trump's words about the cure being worse than the illness itself but I'm seriously starting to wonder if it will get to a point where for once in his life he said something with some degree of point Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MJHW Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Guys, I'm Italian, and here our main problem is that hospitals are pushed to the limit... of course it's getting clear the economy crisis: industries are gonna fire lot of workers because they ain't got money... for now I haven't heard of growing suicide or huge and scary revolt... but people will respect the quarantine for no longer than one (2 if strictly necessary) month...

There is no way that leaving it unchecked for the sake of the economy/job market would be better, it just means the healthcare system will collapse quicker and more people will end up dead. Unfortunately, social distancing really is the only way forward for now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the vast vast majority of people end up being worse off Not to mention deaths that poverty causes too directly and indirectly On an overall basis harm vs good I seriously question if the degree of lockdowns are really worth it For me, im gonna have to manage with 0 income starting next month and good luck to me finding a job right now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shouldn’t say these things without a source; I’ve read nothing of the sort and even an italian is here saying he hasn’t either...between this and you agreeing with trump’s talk about the cure being worse lol you’re just fear-mongering here on GGD with no facts!

Not the time to post “maybes” That's why I made it a seperate post and said "I heard" and I didn't put it in OP. I know it isn't a fact. Pplake side points all the time. My mom is the one that heard it so I just said "I heard". I never stated it as a fact And I did not agree with Trump's talk I said "I wonder" which is very different do not appreciate my words being twisted around Edit: maybe my mom was talking about this https://www.google.ca/amp/s/m.jpost.com/international/italian-nurse-with-coronavirus-commits-suicide-fearing-to-infect-others-622320/amp https://scoop.upworthy.com/italian-nurse-commits-suicide-italy-covid-19-death-toll-rises Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
