#1 Those sources said that the company, based in North Las Vegas, Nevada, was halting operations because of what one person described as a “perfect storm of problems” that included the coronavirus pandemic. On March 20, Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak signed an emergency directive ordering all “nonessential” businesses to close.

A company spokesperson confirmed March 23 that the company laid off all its employees because of the governor’s order, and that it faced “fines, penalties and threats of having our business license revoked” if it remained open.

Multiply this by a million.
Then apply the CDC's own data for su!c!de, including a base number of about 45,000 (CDC, 2018), and apply the CDC's findings that, during an extraordinary economic calamity such as the Great Depression, the su!c!de rate spikes - 22.8% from 1928 to 1932, per the CDC.

45,000 * 1.228 = ca. 10,000 additional death from su!c!de each year - an entirely predictable, highly likely outcome that's based on our own experience, empirical data and the CDC's own studies.

And then there are the thousands of other, entirely predictable deaths: from heart attacks, and slow su!c!de via addiction.

A pity that so few of our leaders are capable of considering the entire picture -- the President and Gov. Cuomo being two notable exceptions.

Per Dr. David Katz, founder and director of Yale's Prevention Research Center, this lockdown is a crude, hacksaw response that is backfiring and causing an even greater public health calamity. Dr. Katz recommends instead "a surgical approach" involving "a pivot right now from trying to protect all people to focusing on the most vulnerable remains entirely plausible. ... The path we are on may well lead to uncontained viral contagion and monumental collateral damage to our society and economy."
