        In the San Francisco Bay area, it appears suicides and suicide attempts are increasing at an alarming rate.

        In fact, the trauma department chief at John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek, which is located just north and east of the cities of Berkeley and Oakland, told KGO-TV this week that during the lockdown, doctors at the facility have seen seen more deaths by suicide than from the coronavirus.

        Officials in Contra Costa County, where the John Muir Medical Center is located, say the answer is to let struggling people know that the crisis phone lines are open, and that in-person, masked and sterile mental health visits are also an option.
        Neither of those choices seem particularly inviting, but those are the options available.

          those darned russians...

          lets see if we listen to your article... it will put us in a state of learned helplessness or listen to anecdotal evidence that gives us confidence and by virtue of the placebo effect might even enable us to overcome the virus...

          its not that you are wrong... its just well a type of pascals wager... I am just covering all the angles...

          I will go with the anecdotal evidence...

          COVID-19 disinformation being spread by Russia, China, say experts | CBC News

          Russia and China are driving an online wave of disinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic, say experts.
          Some of the disinformation circulating online amounts to conspiracy theories about the origins of the virus — claims that it was invented in a lab or brought to China by U.S. soldiers, for example.
          Some of it involves false reports that experts say could end up harming people — the claim that handwashing doesn't help to prevent the spread of COVID-19, for example, or that the virus doesn't affect smokers.

            And WHY is this happening? Because of extended lockdowns AND weak minded people.
            If they had the true American spirit.. they would be strong proud individuals not swayed by news or the unconstitutional draconian lawmakers.
            It is sad to see the way this Great country has fallen to the PC socialist communist ruling class.

                      The last link about StarWars talks about how powerful internet troll farms can be about formig a negative narrative on any topic.

                      The other links you posted conclude that both the US electoral process and the beliefs held by many US citizens about COVID-19 are very easily manipulated by the low cost, high yield dis-information campaigns vigorously promoted by both Russia and China.

                      The pandemic is moving "from a war for survival to a war of ideas and a war of ideology."

                      Both China and Russia are promoting the narrative that democracies are failing and lack the capacity or will to fight the pandemic, while claiming that they are doing a better job at searching for a cure and helping other countries with their pandemic measures.

                      China's social media misinformation and disinformation efforts are more recent, he said, and are more focused on refuting suggestions that China is to blame for the pandemic.
                      "They've really just started doing this work over the last year since the Hong Kong protests," he said. "They'll simply buy one hundred thousand fake accounts, set them all up at once and get them retweeting or get them to push out content."

                        reasonable assertion...
                        you tell people something long enough
                        they eventually come to believe it...
                        whether or not it be true...

                        also thats how the vietcong won the vietnam war...
                        when dealing with an enemy with greater might...
                        hit him in the brain bud... its usually the weakest link...

                              That Star Wars was a politically correct disaster that the general public hated but the upper class "progressives" loved because it pushed the agenda. I bet if the lesbian kiss in the film had been deleted the snowflakes wouldn't have liked it so much. They dont seem to believe anyone can have a different opinion than them because they lost their liberal values years ago. So it must be the Russians.

                              The left are not liberal, a liberal accepts free speech look it up on wikipedia,
