Australia has gone crazy

We in Australia have about 3000 suicides each year. Since the pandemic started less than 1000 people have died from covid. Just trying to put things in perspective here.

I live near a bridge and during lockdown, there was a few trying to jump off, every week it would be closed off, one was a 12 year old girl.

So sad 😞

I'm not saying its not real but just a big over reaction, apart from the suicides over 3,000 a year from flu and influenza, heart disease is our biggest killer, today Sydney had 460 cases out of 8 million in NSW come on if that's not a over reaction nothing is,

I don't get it 460 people out of 8 million in Sydney and NSW and the whole state is locked down lol

@ExtremeNext The reason you have so few cases is that you are locked down. In the US, which largely took the opposite approach, so many people have died that the average life expectancy went down last year by a whopping 1.37 years. And it will go down again this year. Consider yourself fortunate.

Don’t forget, you have some of the most deadliest creatures on the earth too… I’m sure more people have died from deadly earthworms in your country then Covid

@SW-User but the real snakes are the ones who are running this country.

@AwakeningConfession221122 my thoughts as well

Sounds like the government has been doing a good job with covid. I'm in the US, where we've had over 627,000 people die of covid. So far. Want to switch places?
LandOfOz · 70-79, M
@windinhishair We have about 27 or 28 Million people here
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@LandOfOz Compared to our 330 million. Like I said, nice job keeping covid at bay.
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@LandOfOz The US had 47,511 suicides in 2019. That's about 14.4 per 100,000 people. Based on the data you provided, you have about 10.7 per 100,000 people. Easy access to guns contributes to the higher rate in the US.

I don't think that the suicides are due to COVID fear but probably isolation and your country has had one of the most consistent lock down policies that I know of unlike here on the US where we never took it seriously and states fought the government and we have had so many deaths.
So my country did the exact opposite of yours and we have had 621K deaths attributed to COVID.

@REMsleep those suicide figures are for any year
Australia was built on slavery and genocide, history may repeat here.

@AwakeningConfession221122 I still kill people

Indeed but they are two different things.. and, while a lot is made of the mental health implications of lockdowns, there are many people who absolutely love being at home..

Shits fucked up that people even have to feel like that government could do better 😔

That is very interesting! Do they know why?
