Epoch Times: Five Times More Children Committed Suicide Than Died of COVID-19 During Lockdown: UK Study

Five times more children and young people committed suicide than died of COVID-19 during the first year of the pandemic in the United Kingdom, according to a study, which also concluded that lockdowns are more detrimental to children’s health than the virus itself.​
​
Researchers with the University College London, the University of York, the University of Liverpool, and the University of Bristol found in a study (pdf) that has not yet been peer-reviewed that the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, otherwise known as the coronavirus, doesn’t appear to present a significant risk to children as compared with other age groups.​
​
The study concluded: “The risk of removal of CYP (children and young people) from their normal activities across education and social events may prove a greater risk than that of SARS-CoV-2 itself.” SARS-CoV-2 is another name for the CCP virus.​
​
The next time someone or some group tells you to lockdown, you might want to ask some hard questions, if not give them the boot.
 

Can't read the article without creating an account. No thanks. I was able to read the pdf, and there was no reference to childhood suicide
 
CCP virus? Sounds rather slanted to me.

My question is how many children and young people committed suicide during the lockdown and how does that compare to typical suicide rates? How is the (implied) causal link between lockdown and suicide established?

There are several articles online. Just search "child suicide during pandemic".

My recommendation to you and others is to pay more attention to the story and its references and less to who publishes the article. As I sad to someone else, denigration the source instead of addressing the story tells all, most especially when you try to label the source as too right or left wing. That would suggest you can't digest news that doesn't fit your leanings.

To you maybe. If the same information can be given by a reputable source I will read it there. Saying what says it all to you gives you the excuse to quote from questionable sources leaning so far right they fell off a cliff. But you know that.

From the left? Is it only right or left to you? What about the center? If it's not right then it is only left? Or vice-versa? No, there are still good journalists who value their reputations as well as search for truth.
 
 
Here's where the lying and the dishonesty come in:
+++++++++++++++++++++

++++++++++++++++++++++
The "study" mentioned in the first and last paragraph are NOT the same study cited in the middle paragraph. That actual study cited in the middle paragraph, per the pdf, looked at co-morbidities to evaluate the the impact of Covid alone in children. It comes as no surprise that children are not at a great risk.

"Figures don't lie, but liars can figure."

Do you always go for the snarky, personal put down on typos and ingore the fact that seniors often have some degree of arthritis and/or carpel tunnel? You might want to think about that before you pounce.

Coming from you, of all people?? That's rich, as we used to say. Do you even read your own posts?

LOL maybe you should start a thread on putting down the Epoch times before you lean so far that you fall over.

Yes, I know and have been saying this from the start but it doesn't fit the "narrative" so no one wants to hear. :(

It's a shopworn tactic when they don't like what the article says. Attack the source and then attack, by whatever means, the person who posted it. Some jump right in without asking questions or thinking there may be other articles saying the same thing. It's really laughable to watch.
 
Nope, JonD. Becky proved it. You used that particular source so you can say, again (yawn) Attack the source blah blah. You are a smart, erudite man and you use this tactic a lot. You knew you had a choice of links and, IMO, chose Epoch Times for the sake of starting this familiar drama-yama.

It's sad. I know a cop in FL where BF travels who says his dept. handles up to 15 suicides a day amongst kids aged 11 - 16. No one cares about this terrible loss.
