Report says Thailand’s suicide rate increasing during coronavirus pandemic

i may sound cynical, but why to be in a hurry?  we'll die all of us sooner or later! that's the way i think when i feel disheartened. anyway committing a suicide is never a good idea

Curious as to what method of suicide you would chose, in this scenario ??

How do you know all suicides are because of the lockdown.

 

All suicides are not going to be because of lockdown, but there will definitely be an increase because of lockdown and not a reduction...

A very good point. Just shows how data is falsified.

There is the possibility that the report has misquoted and they actually counted 27 per day. That would make more sense. 30% higher than the usual average.

Suicides are going to overtake COVID19 deaths if this virus caused financial devastation doesn't stop soon. 

What's the point in living if you've been wiped out financially and cannot eat, enjoy life and prospects at the best are a life of worse struggle, hardship, misery and a death from stress related diseases anyway?

Totaly agree
