There might be another reason behind those deaths.
Even if they were afraid of coronavirus it wouldn't be so intimidating to give to your life an end to this.
Maybe economic or social reasons might be the main reason and coronavirus another one.

I'm going to lean towards the fact that a lot of people who were suffering from mental illness (think Depression) are going to be having a bit harder of a time now. Imagine being able to at least go to work and socialize with some people, see your family,etc -- now all you can do is sit in your apartment and talk to people on the phone? This is a rough time for people who were having issues before this, and don't really know where to turn to now get help. I know you can do some therapy online (I'm pretty sure this is the case at least) but I'd assume that's not the same.

Economic fears are going to be pretty bad right now. Imagine already being poor, living paycheck to paycheck and working at some sort of low paying job (maybe McDonalds) and then you're unable to pay the bills, have no idea when you're going to be reemployed, money from the gov is gonna take weeks.

Plus Trump admin is estimating 100-240k US deaths.

Well this is the perfect amount of bullshit in one thread. Not only did it include someone who is spamming wordpress links as they're the law of the land, it includes tons of sig spammer taking what OP (and the wordpress writers) is saying is law just cause they haven't read anything and are just trying to get up to their post count for the week/month/etc.

Not saying that your info is wrong, as it sure as shit might be. But post some links to non just wordpress jpgs to show that their is a source to this stuff. Thanks!



Here are the newsrelated links to the stories;

On a personal note, I think we need to take better care of each other. Part of what being human means is caring and taking care of other people's needs and feelings. This is particularly important in times of crisis and misery.

Thanks for this. I may have went a bit overboard cause all I saw was Wordpress links and I saw that as you just making stuff up. So I apologize about that. Thanks for providing the proper sourcing for this stuff, just trying to make sure this section tries to keep up some level of standard.

Smiley Cheers and stay safe.

After seeing thousands of casualties of the coronavirus they might have realize even if they can possibly get cured or recover from the virus those people around them might get infected especially their grandparents or parents or children. This is the result people taking lightly what the coronavirus could do, it affected thousands of innocent lives. Country's should start lockdown in order to not endanger more human lives.

You have to be really weak to kill yourself when there's no real threat, just out of fear. I could understand if they took their lives because they knew they were infected with something that would kill them slowly and painfully, but I'll never understand killing yourself in fear of catching something that kills only 2% of the infected. This is totally irrational. I don't get how these people face at home, school, work. Maybe their lives were always a walk in the park and this is the first time they  really faced fear?

people who commit suicide usually have a mental problem and killing themselves has probably crossed their mind a lot of times before COVID-19 and with COVID-19 adding more pressure to them which probably broke them and finally did what they always think about. just because we can't comprehend how they feel or how their thinking works. doesn't give us the right to judged them. in their mind, they are probably fighting for the longest time and no one is there to help them and killing themselves is the only way to end it.

I accept as true with you that killing yourself may be a great sin due to the fear of the COVID19 virus people got to cure it before they begin killing themselves i feel they're doing this type of mental disease. Ordinary people will never want to die. If Allah had written death then it might be a sin to kill yourself they ought to be shown to a psychiatrist.

Nobody should kill themselves over the 'covid-19' scam...do it for the 'global climate change' scam instead for Christsake!

German state finance minister Thomas Schäfer found dead. Police suspect Thomas Schäfer died by suicide after his body was found on train tracks near Wiesbaden. He was the finance minister for the state of Hesse;

https://www.dw.com/en/german-state-finance-minister-thomas-sch%C3%A4fer-found-dead/a-52948976#

How did you know this had something to do with the Covid-19 outbreak? In European media there is absolutely no connection between these to incidents. I read on several news that the man had a huge depression before the Covid-19 pandemic.

Everyone wants to connect with Covid even if it is not.

But this pandemic will really challenge the mental health of many people. We need to be strong in this crisis.

If the virus can kill you, why kill yourself? This doesn't make any sense. Logically you should go home and isolate yourself, you might survive it and avoid infecting others while doing so.

That finance guy, wouldn't be more logical to assume he lost a lot in stocks or such by the global economy recession?


I think a lot of you guys are missing the other factors involved and how the individual person will be feeling here. Someone who kills themselves in these scenarios presented probably has some sort of mental illness or health anxiety or something. Imagine the mental stress someone will be under if they suffer with that and all they can think about is catching the disease and possibly dying a slow death from it. That constant stress and anxiety will take it's toll and probably become unbearable for them. I often see a lot of people say similar things when anyone kills them-self like why did they do that, they had so much to live for, life can't have been that bad etc etc, but if you're mentally just exhausted or miserable all the time then that's a great stress to be under and in that mindset a lot of people just do what they feel is necessary to make it stop. In times like these there's really no end in sight for when this will all be over and that's a pretty grim outlook for anyone. Who know's what the world will look like when this is all over, but we're heading for mass unemployment and  possibly one of the biggest recessions ever if things don't turn around anytime soon and all that is going to take it's toll on a lot of people and it's probably far more than just the fear or the virus right now that is driving people to suicide. I'm not really worried about the virus at all, but the damage to the economy is probably going to cause more damage and deaths in the long-run.

This is alarming because there are a lot of people that causes panic incites fear to people and giving them desperation. Be there for people even if they don't ask for your help.

Wasn't the teenager maybe unable to cope with the isolation? (BTW: How is a suicide an "attempt" when he successfully died?

To me these deaths aren't really even related to COVID-19 fear.

As for the nurse, we already know of the drama in Italy for the many patients that cannot be treated, health workers are under extreme pressure, war like condition.

This shows the importance of propping up mental health services during such emergencies. Society can't have suicides happening when there are already health services under pressure.

People can't take it anymore. How are you coping with all these deaths and social distancing?


Is the constant media coverage making things unbearable?
