IN JAPAN IN THE MONTH OF OCTOBER ONLY, THE NUMBER OF SUICIDE DEATHS EXCEEDED THAT OF COVID DEADS: Who cares about the depression alarmists

1 December 20203 years ago babelfish

In October alone, the number of suicides in Japan amounted to 2153, compared to 2087 deaths from Covid-19 since the beginning of the year. In this country there have been, since January 1 alone, over 17,000 suicides.

The Land of the Rising Sun has always been marked by a high number of suicides, but the trend was slightly down. Against 21987 in 2016 it had dropped below 20 thousand, with 19959. But this year the trend has sharply reversed, with the last four months higher than the 2019 data. If the trend remains that of October, it will reach 22 thousand suicides in 2020.

Everyone admits that part of the responsibility for this growth is linked to the isolation regime imposed by Covid-19. All this in a very disciplined country, but that doesn't prevent depression. The largest number of suicides is among women.

Suicides are also on the rise in Italy, even if the data are not as up-to-date. In September there were 71 suicides and 46 attempted suicides, compared with 44 suicides and 44 attempted suicides in 2019. A growth of 61%.
