Study: Coronavirus Shutdowns Leading To 75,000 ‘Deaths Of Despair’

150,000 could die. As long as the Democrat media complex can classify these deaths as “corona-related,” they’ll pull the kill switch.

Study: Coronavirus Shutdowns Could Lead To 75,000 ‘Deaths Of Despair’

By William Davis, Daily Caller, May 8, 2020:

Government-mandated shutdowns over the coronavirus pandemic could lead to as many as 75,000 deaths, a new study shows.

The study published Friday by Well Being Trust (WBT) found that the pandemic could cause an additional 75,000 “deaths of despair,” including deaths from suicide and drug overdoses. The study identified the cause of these deaths as “unprecedented economic failure paired with massive unemployment, mandated social isolation for months and possible residual isolation for years, and uncertainty caused by the sudden emergence of a novel, previously unknown microbe.” (RELATED: FLASHBACK: Fauci Say Coronavirus ‘Not A Major Threat’ To The U.S.)

Benjamin Miller, WBT’s chief strategy officer warned that the country cannot continue to ignore the collateral damage being caused by the coronavirus.

“Undeniably policymakers must place a large focus on mitigating the effects of COVID. However, if the country continues to ignore the collateral damage—specifically our nation’s mental health—we will not come out of this stronger,” Miller wrote. “If we work to put in place healthy community conditions, good healthcare coverage, and inclusive policies, we can improve mental health and well-being. With all the other COVID-related investments, it’s time for the federal government to fully support a framework for excellence in mental health and well-being and invest in mental health now.”

The study found that 27,644 people will die from deaths of despair under the best case scenario, while over 150,000 could die under the worst case scenario. The study identified the country’s skyrocketing unemployment rate as a leading factor contributing to these deaths, writing that “Unemployment is an undeniable risk factor for suicide and drug misuse as well as decrease in overall health status.” The U.S. unemployment rate currently sits at nearly 15%, its highest rate since the Great Depression. Most of the U.S. economy has been closed since March, although some states have recently reopened in an attempt to stave off economic catastrophe.

Yet he did. He listened to his far left advisers on just about everything. He claimed that he would “drain the swamp” but NOBODY can drain something that they’re standing in the middle of!! And while I’m not anti-Trump, I am most assuredly against his surrounding himself with far left advisers, his own son-in-law is one of the worst!! NEPOTISM at it’s finest!!

FDA authorizes first at-home saliva diagnostic test for COVID-19
https://www.healio.com/infectious-disease/emerging-diseases/news/online/%7B3df348c5-2991-40ac-bc1a-c9afa3a2cb48%7D/fda-authorizes-first-at-home-saliva-diagnostic-test-for-covid-19
FDA Commissioner Stephen M. Hahn, MD, said in the release:

“Authorizing additional diagnostic tests with the option of at-home sample collection will continue to increase patient access to testing for COVID-19. This provides an additional option for the easy, safe and convenient collection of samples required for testing without traveling to a doctor’s office, hospital or testing site”

Rule #4 of successful health care: Easy is better.

How many people have considered the body count from the slow death of mass invasion and immigration? The open border has murdered 70,000 annually from drugs alone. How many checked out because they lost their world to a bunch of foreigners? The f-ing traitors who let them in the door knew exactly what would happen. Same traitors, different virus, same misery and death.

This virus happened quickly and threatened larger wallets than the casualties of the past half century, so more people are seeing it. This has all been designed by a bunch of malevolent psychologists and professional a-holes who understand and control currency and energy and business and media and education. They have controlled everything we have and see and learn. They’re murdering crushing prosperity to set the stage for voting by mail so they can take the political power they need to finish us off.

As I’ve said, this can and should all be seen as the Deep State’s and One World globalist traitors’ revenge.

The revenge would come when they have no possible means to take the power of the WH, and control of our arsenal. Control of our arsenal is the key to the future global rule of the collective that the Democrats are part of. The virus is a tool to take power. It’s also a threat (of revenge). The virus also set up another fight with a natural enemy across the ocean that was intentionally grown with our money and technology so we would have to fight them.

I ride a motorcycle …. it is my Zen.
Sometimes I wonder what is the use of riding ….. when I go someplace, at best, I can refuel, pee, and head back home – sometimes, I can get “take-out” of “fast-food”, and sit on the sidewalk, by myself, to eat.
Lots of fun.

Now to the SCIENCE of it all.
The “mortality rate” being put out is, quite simply, BOVINE EXCREMENT.
How is it that a “mortality rate” can be calculated when the actual number of “infected” it TOTALLY UNKNOWN.
Better to use the number of deaths (actually CAUSED by Wuhan virus) vs the population. Thus the 281,015 deaths “attributed” to the Wuhan virus vs the Wuhan virus cases, 4,131,037 yields a rate of 6.8%. However, since it seems that a great many have had the Wuhan virus, with mild symptoms, and never sought help, the number of “infected” must, of necessity, be much much higher. Using the “population” numbers of 7,783,614,415 the “mortality” drops to 0.0036% of the population. Seems that most “rates” are based on “population” … why not do the same with the Wuhan virus …. oh, that’s right ….. if it were done that way, the leftist media could not use the inflated numbers to scare the “good little sheep” into total submission to the TYRANNY being imposed on us using the “good little German soldiers” who are breaching their SWORN OATH to uphold the Constitution, and, thus, COMMITTING TREASON,

If you are SWORN TO UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION and you fail to do so – you are guilty of Treason and fully deserve the punishment for Treason.

A few years ago, the Affirmative Action pres used the various Fed Organs to shut down the vast regions of the coal industy, and tens of thousands of jobs went away very quickly. Not long after said globalist success, the ‘white people’ who did those jobs – descending hundreds of feet below the Earth’s surface, just to hunch over and scrap coal from overhead – the supply of opioids seem to increase. For a time in America, heroin was cheaper than marijuana, ‘possibly’ a new supplier came to town to undercut the sellers of marijuana, to get those needing escape to get hooked on heroin instead of pot. Why ya spose opioid overdoses killed some 75,000 people per year over the last several years ?? All in all, it really helps out with the great replacement of white people, dead people may vote, but, they don’t need food, clothing, or shelter. And you know, the Newmericans gotta have some place to stay and call their own.

There is only one solution and that is for Trump to put this nation on a war footing with Communist China and order a full mobilization to combat the CCP. That will show the American People What a real leader can do to overcome this crisis and force the opening of our industries.
