Back in March 2020 (actually I think my first prediction was in April 2020), public health officials hypothesized that COVID19 would be the third leading cause of death in the United States. We were able to make this guess based on transmission projections and fatality rates across the globe. We thought we had to wait until 2022 to officially know whether this was correct.
according to the table in 2019 suicide was number 10. In 2020 suicide did not make the list. Is this correct? I thought suicides were up in 2020 because of the psychological effects of isolation and sheltering in place.
