“We’ve seen a year’s worth of suicide attempts in the last four weeks.”

The head of the trauma in the department believes mental health is suffering so much, it is time to end the shelter-in-place order.
“Personally I think it’s time,” said Dr. Mike deBoisblanc. “I think, originally, this (the shelter-in-place order) was put in place to flatten the curve and to make sure hospitals have the resources to take care of COVID patients.We have the current resources to do that and our other community health is suffering.”
The numbers are unprecedented, he said.
We’ve never seen numbers like this, in such a short period of time,” he said. “I mean we’ve seen a year’s worth of suicide attempts in the last four weeks.”
Kacey Hansen has worked as a trauma nurse at John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek for almost 33 years. She is worried because not only are they seeing more suicide attempts, she says they are not able to save as many patients as usual.

Lost prosperity and lost hope = suicide. I know the subject well.
The only difference between the suicides from the lock downs and the suicides from the flood of cheap workers and the exportation of industry and the devalued dollar and the skyrocketed energy costs and the constant increases in government burden….and so on,…is the focus on them. No one noticed what was happening slowly over half a century, but they notice what happened in few weeks. The prior suicides dwarf these numbers, but they were painted as people who wanted to die, and chose to be so ruined they would kill themselves.
As a real Doctor, Dr. Mike deBoisblanc only evaluates on the basis of patient’s needs and the Public Health good. He fails to see the bigger picture like Governor Newscom and a few other Democratic Governors or Mayors who have made this a mission to benefit their Party up until November. Some how in their twisted minds they think by harming the Public and the Economy and blaming it on President Trump, the Citizens of Our Great Country won’t see through who is really responsible. They think with the help of the Media it is a synch that the Public will assume it is Mismanagement by President and NOT the treasonous hands of petty officials who put their Party above the Welfare of the People and of the Nation. Newscom you’re not that smart and you underestimate the high intelligence and instinct of California’s voting Citizens.
We are a Constitutional Republic! Many of our leftist outpost are at best democracies! They are going to hell waiting for the rest of us to bail them out! It must not happen!
But, since New-scum gave hundreds of millions to the voting block of California (illegal aliens), Juan, Jorge, Juanita, Carlos and Pedro have sworn allegiance.
Landslide victory for new-scum.
Certainly true if they are allowed to get by with the resulting planned voter fraud. But if after the election the courts rule their elections illegal and votes do not count?
Left Wingnut Regressives (Democrat Party members) have gotten away with it many times. Why would they think that an honest court exists?
Ever met a judge that wasn’t as crooked as a dog’s hind leg?
Yes. I was one and I knew many. Why don’t you quit hiding behind your mask and reveal who and what you really are? I do not have philosophical differences with you so much as I am suspicious of the amount of time you put into your extensive comments. Who pays you and what is your motivation?
Hi, Don39.
You were an “honest judge” (?). Yes, of course you were. And, I’m the Rightful Heir to the Throne of the British Isles.
Who and what are you. Truly, what are you, Don39?
Who pays you and what is your motivation.

It goes on far more than anyone wants to know. Allot of people park their relatives in a home and rarely visit them. Some don’t even get holiday visits. Who are the abused going to complain to? Their abusers? If they do complain, they can be dismissed as being a dementia or an Alzheimer’s patient imaging things and have a relative feel bad for the low paid care giver.” Allot of these “care givers” get off on abuse.
“Never, ever, EVER give up!”
-President Doctor Donald J. Trump
Exactly why “WE the People” wanted + need him there…!
WE are lucky and blessed to have his competence…!
Amen!
When you have folks so “concerned” about others not wearing facemasks or maintaining social distancing that they’ll spit in your face or burn down your church, you know you are no longer dealing with a genuine crisis anymore. This is something else.
All a Globalist plan to “dump Trump” any way they can…!
I frequently visit spotcrime.com and lately the number of “shootings” have skyrocketed everywhere (they report all shootings, not just homicides). May has been a VERY tough month. What will June bring?
People are becoming unglued and releasing CRIMINALS doesn’t help.
Yeah – where’s the wisdom in releasing robbers, raper’s and killers – while locking up mom’s + dad’s for activities with their children = rrrrrRRRhh “someone pleas turn the dogs loose”…!
60% of USA gun deaths are suicides
– Pew Research
https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/08/16/what-the-data-says-about-gun-deaths-in-the-u-s/
Therefore the increases in gun deaths are probably from suicides.
Chainsaws are so often overlooked when it comes to home defense. Sure, they are loud but they aren’t only intimidating; they can be quite effective.
Well both are good
Amen.
Well a pair of spear’s crossed on the the wall with a well made shield looking like decoration has killed every animal on Earth…!
See ColdSteel.com
Also their foam bear spray…!
Both Raid and Off are flamable. That makes them both doubly efficient against pests. What would be really interesting is a snake gun: a gun that could fire live snakes. I don’t think you could use gunpowder for that lest you harm the ammunition. Still though, I imagine a snake slug thrower would be super disruptive. NO ONE likes live snakes thrown at them.
OMG! He threw a viper at us! What do we do? Do we need antivenom? Which antivenom? Was it even a venomous snake? Idk, it got away!
My mother years ago led the fund raising to build John Muir Memorial Hospital in Creek Town. She turned the first spade full of dirt and cut the ribbon surrounded by local politicians. She was President of The John Muir Women’s Auxillary, a NGO. She served two terms as president of the NGO which had over 800 women members. She belonged to Sierra Guild. As a kid I worked part time as a gardner weekends on the hospital grounds. Had a great reference! My mum came from Perth, Australia. I grew up in Walnut Creek and lived there thru high school, Las Lomas High, until I went to Cal at Berkeley. Mum would approve of the MD’s testimonials.
The Democrats are very effective killers – it’s the duty of the voting people to erase them.
horror
It is called domestic stir crazy.
Must be some pretty good smack and crack they are buying with that stimulus and unemployment money they’re collecting.
It would be the ultimate irony if those suicides were used in the Coronavirus death count
So after 8 years of doing nothing but worship Obama, Americans have become really weak and unable to handle a crisis, so weak that they off themselves. Not surprising. I knew the whole Obama thing was a terrifying cult that would destroy America.
Hey, what have they got to live for anyway, Trump isn’t doing anything to try and stop the Islamization of the west that was put in motion by Obamallah and his various skin-crawling underlings.
How many people commit suicide every year using tobacco?
In Australia where I live every outlet that sells tobacco it is a legal requirement that there is a large sign that says, “SMOKING KILLS CALL THE QUIT LINE”
But there is always a conga line of people buying tobacco to kill themselves with!
Australia currently has 101 COVID-19 deaths that represents 2.5 says of tobacco deaths.
What should have a more urgent response, stopping COVID-19 or stopping suicide by tobacco?
Their needs to be accountability for these deaths, given that this pandemic was created for the specific purpose of trashing the economy so Trump would not be reelected. Chinese CCP wants him gone, Gates wants his mandated vaccines. CDC wants its mandated vaccines, NIH wants is mandated vaccines and of course Big Pharma wants mandated vaccines with no liability. Fauci predicted that there would be a major epidemic during Trump administration in 2017, Gates has invested a lot of money into vaccines and has stated that they will help reduce population by 10-15 percent, and CDC and NIH have relationships with Big Pharma for vaccines and also make money off the vaccines. Trump wants to protect the people and is looking at alternatives to vaccines and they do not like it. Gates and Fauci both involved with WUHAN lab (financially) and probably worked with them to “accidentally” release the virus they were working on and CCP went along since Trump a real thorn in their plans to dominate the world economy. All these parties of guilty of crimes against Americans and humanity all for the sake go greed and power.
plandemic not pandemic. it wa well thpught out since 2018
