“Suicide rates have fallen globally, but they have climbed every year in the U.S. since 1999. And, in fact, they rose 35% in the last two decades. That is significant,” she said. “However, funding and prevention efforts for suicide prevention have continued to lag far behind those for other leading causes of death, like cancer or heart disease.”
In her experience on a college campus in 2020, Manassah said the pandemic exacerbated existing issues of loneliness and depression that were already present in American college students before coronavirus forced everyone indoors.
“Loneliness is an issue. College students, in the past, pre-pandemic, for the previous 23 years, we saw rates of loneliness increasing nationally for American college students,” she said. “So you can imagine that after the pandemic started and people were quarantining and in isolation, those feelings of loneliness and isolation only increased.”

Gov. DeSantis targets vaccination ‘tourism’
Gov. Ron DeSantis is working on guidelines meant to stop COVID-19 vaccination “tourism” in Florida. Appearing at two news conferences Tuesday, DeSantis said he wants to make sure the state’s COVID-19 vaccine supply is being directed to Florida residents. “That can include people who live here half the year, but it’s not for people just visiting,” the governor said during an appearance in Rockledge. The effort came after media reports about people from outside the state coming to Florida to get vaccinated. [Source: WJXT]
