Doctors in Northern California say they have seen more deaths from suicide than they've seen from the coronavirus during the pandemic.
"The numbers are unprecedented," Dr. Mike deBoisblanc of John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek, California, told ABC 7 News about the increase of suicide deaths adding that he's seen a "Year's worth of suicides" in the last four weeks alone.
Kacey Hansen, a trauma center nurse at John Muir Medical Center for over 30 years, says she's not only worried about the increased suicide attempts but also about the hospital's ability to save as many patients as usual.
"What I have seen recently, I have never seen before," Hansen said.
Suicide has been an increasingly significant problem across the country as the coronavirus outbreak caused stay-at-home orders that led to unemployment and stress.
By late March, more people had died in just one Tennessee county from suicide than had died in the entire state directly from the virus.
Another study conducted by Just Facts around the same time computed a broad array of scientific data showing that stress is one of the deadliest health hazards in the world and determined that the coronavirus lockdowns will destroy 7 times more years of human life than strict lockdowns can save.
