I posted this as a response to another thread on a different board but it think it needs its own thread. For anyone downplaying the suicides during this epidemic, you need to think again and care. I moved last summer from Florida but while there I was a member of a Veterans group whose primary mission was to combat suicide in our community mainly thru social networks, online and mostly in person. While I'm not in Florida anymore I'm still on the social media page and the group chats. 22 Vets a day commit suicide before all this started. In my old group it wasn't uncommon for 4 or 5 calls for action a week where folks would converge from around the state to help Vets in need during moments of despair and weakness. Last week they had over 20, and this week isn't looking any better early on. I'm not going to talk about the rest of society, but keep your Veteran friends in mind during this isolation, especially the younger single ones. Isolation may "save" society but it is going to kill a lot of Veterans who rely on social interactions to keep their minds somewhat straight. Myself, I'm not doing great, in a new state where I know nobody, can't even go to Church anymore, but I have an amazing wife and I'm trying to find things to occupy my mind everyday. My hands are pretty much raw from all the dang hand washing and carpentry I've been doing to keep busy and my mind occupied. I will be fine with effort and help, but there are many that won't. There are benefits to society isolating, but it is going to wreak havoc on the Veteran population. Please think of them
