Some pretty confronting statistics:

Anyone here that resides in the US able to give us an insight as to how the general population are feeling about this?

I look at the media coverage the Victorian situation received and just can't imagine what the media coverage must be like over in the US. And whilst I certainly don't go looking for it, it seems to me like that number of deaths is not getting the air time it deserves. Maybe just an incorrect impression?

To add some context, how many people die in the US everyday? In Australia it's around 450 deaths per day, so how much is Covid inflating these numbers?

Do we have numbers on the spikes in suicides since Covid?
