As politicians across the nation continue pressing the panic button over Covid-19 and the need to keep isolating ourselves, a new study shows that deaths resulting from quarantine orders could actually top the total death toll from coronavirus itself.
Researchers studied the psychological effects of quarantine and found that individuals in quarantine often end up suffering from a wide-ranging set of mental health issues that can include post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and suicide. The study, released by the Well Being Trust and the American Academy of Family Physicians found that, when factoring in deaths from suicide and alcohol and substance abuse, the death toll from quarantine measures could be as high as 154,000. That’s higher than the projected 135,000 deaths from Covid-19.
But there are likely even more deaths that could be attributable to forced quarantine measures. Children are unable to get well-visits or vaccinations, patients with chronic illnesses are seeing their doctor less often, and those who should be examined for worrying symptoms are not being seen because they aren’t a priority anymore. People are going to die because of that.
Dr. Elinore McCance-Katz, the federal mental health czar, is calling for more funding to help fight the mental health crisis that is unfolding across the country, specifically for programs that help treat addictions and mental health crises.
“We see very troubling signs across the nation,” McCance-Katz said. “There’s more substance abuse, more overdoses, more domestic violence and neglect and abuse of children.”
Amudim has also reported a significant increase in mental health issues affecting communities since the coronavirus pandemic began.
What we need is our politicians to understand that the threat of continuing to lock up the population can be as deadly as the virus itself is. The longer everything stays closed, the more damage will be done to the nation’s mental health. Mental health professionals were already struggling to keep up with the wave of mental health problems cropping up. And that was before Covid-19. Now, who knows if the resources we have in place are enough to withstand the coming surge.
I do not see the author showing control group statistics, ie. the numbers from March, April and May from last year.
Worse, I just check the source. The 154,000 is the increase TOTAL from 2020 until 2029.
This pandemic is the BIG ONE. People, wake up. We have been warned about this for decades.
America will get through this, better than before, as it always has during national crises. Our economy will be leaner and more efficient than ever, a true space age twenty-first century world.
If I were you, I would start restructuring FROM HOME. Those making the best of their isolation, their ability to survive in the new economy, will come out of this stronger than before.
BTW Very few will starve. Even during the Depression, during which American agriculture collapsed, the numbers dying from malnutrition were not numbers you would have expected.
Most people I speak to while out and about doing my necessary work have said they here no trust whatsoever in a Democrat run government. They see governors like Cuomo, Murphy, the governor of Illinois, Michigan, California, etc, all Democrats by the way, just trying to keep more and more reign on their people.
Decisions are not being made based on the virus. Remember, we were told the whole point of lockdown was to flatten the curve. The curve was flat in the number of weeks ago. What has happened? Still no relaxation in any restrictions!
Open your eyes!
There is no need for all the plandemic panic. How many millions of dollars and lives could have been saved if not for waste, fraud, and corruption?
The “vaccine” (HCQ) has been around for over 50 years. Vlad Zelenko has been proving ti with a 99.9% success rate. Now many other Doctors are coming out with similar numbers and are getting banned on Social Media. For a control group, look at the millions who have died without it. See my article originally written on March 13. “Hashem Creates the Cure Before the Illness” published here on TLS on March 16. I admit I didn’t get the Azithromycin and Zinc part, but I am not a doctor.

I predict that this will be the so-called mythical vaccine once more and more so-called experts, irresponsible agencies, and corporations, and their ever-changing faulty statistics are exposed. The President has mobilized the military to distribute and deliver “any potential vaccine”. I can almost guarantee you what will be on those vehicles when the President finally drops the hammer. Let’s see if I am correct about “any potential vaccine”. Enough is enough.
While I agree that there definitely is a major increase in deaths from non-virus causes and must be included when considering the coast of the lock down, the question is how many deaths would there have been from the virus without the lock down? Also to be factored in is that some of those that died from the virus were elderly who may have died from other causes during this period.
So while I would agree with the general sentiment of the author,
his statistic must be regarded as soft.
Here are the TLS comments to the article I posted. I think it is important to note, that on the date the article was published (3 days after I wrote it), Elon Musk touted it and Laura Graham reported on it just hours after it was posted. In any case here’s what TLS readers had to say:
“OMG! When will we see this in the fake news as the Dems pass a COVID-19 bill that Pelosi snuck in billions to fund Planned Parenthood. When the Senate won’t sign unless the House takes it out, they’ll blame Trump and the Republicans for not doing anything. Meanwhile they have been doing nothing about it, just fixated on trashing Trump who already has taken comprehensive action. The dems submitted this a few minutes before they recess. Pure evil.”
“Billions to be paid to big Pharma and labs on studies, trials and reinventing the wheel. Trump got trumped.”
“Gregory Rigano was on fox on the ingraham angle. She cut him off. And he had more to say. He had the most interesting things to say about clhoroquin being a possible frog that works. I and others we’re so mad at Laura for not letting him finish.”
“I happened to see the broadcast. Yes, Rigango had more to say, but to be fair to Ingraham, the Skype connection was breaking up and much of what he said could not be understood. I think she did the right thing (cutting the interview short), but I share your frustration. I hope she (or others) can get him back on the air. Best Wishes to all.”
“Are you still mad, after Laura pushed for it? Grow up, this is a time to mature and not crying over a few more words”.
“I think Rigano hit a home run in his alloted time. He made his point.”
Well, well, well. Trump just admitted on national media, today, 5/18, that he’s been taking HCQ for a week after getting a letter from a doctor “around the Westchester” with 100% cure rate. Could it be Vlad Zelenko from Kiryas Joel? He’s making the letter public, my bet’s on Zelenko.
