Experts have warned that the pandemic could lead to a mental health crisis. Mass unemployment, social isolation, and anxiety are taking their toll on people globally.

In Japan, government statistics show suicide claimed more lives in October than Covid-19 has over the entire year to date. The monthly number of Japanese suicides rose to 2,153 in October, according to Japan's National Police Agency. As of Friday, Japan's total Covid-19 toll was 2,087, the health ministry said.

After decreasing in recent years, monthly suicides rose to their highest number since May 2015...

I believe this is only the tip of the iceberg and that these numbers are going to continue to sharply rise. When history looks back on 2020, it will see that far more people died from the side effects of the government's response to the virus than died from the virus itself.
