Hello Darth,
The suicides in America only show how hopeless life is for people struggling to survive under our crippling extreme wealth inequality.
Sweden has much more equitable wealth distribution.

Always comes down to wealth redistribution lol.
Here you go:
“There has been another cost that we’ve seen, particularly in high schools.We’re seeing, sadly, far greater suicides now than we are deaths from COVID. We’re seeing far greater deaths from drug overdose that are above excess that we had as background than we are seeing the deaths from COVID,” Redfield said.

Hello Darth,
I didn't hear anything about an increase in high school suicides. My guess is those numbers existed prior to the pandemic.

Hello Darth,
I bet there were more youth suicides prior to the pandemic than youths who have succumbed to COVID-19.

You don’t believe the CDC Director, apparently.
Our wealth gap is worse than it was during the Gilded age. Yes, it comes down to a real and poisonous problem like the wealth gap.

Hello Darth,
Unless you put up a quote, I have no idea which statement you are referring to.
I believe there were already more teen suicides before the pandemic than teen lives lost to the pandemic since the crisis began.
If you would like to quote a CDC statement which shows that to be incorrect, go for it.

Another 900 dead Americans.
Active Cases up.
Serious, Critical, Cases up.
Another 48,000 new cases.
It is not going well for America.
Our response to the crisis has been handled poorly.

President Trump's 'amazing' response to the coronavirus has resulted in
56,000 new cases yesterday.
The number of Active Cases is on the rise again.
And with it, so is the number of Serious and Critical Cases.
Over 14,500 Serious and Critical Cases.
Not good. Those are the people fighting for life, who could soon die.
Nearly a thousand died yesterday.
This is no joke.
I believe we can and need to do better.
When I am out and about I am flat amazed at the number of people who do not keep their distance. I have adopted the habit of keeping a lookout all around me and taking proactive action to keep distance from others. Many simply are not going to even try. I figure they are the cult members, trying to ignore that we need to keep as much distance as possible between humans. And the 6' thing? That is a minimum. The further the better. We simply have to get this through to people if we are going to make any progress against the virus.
Simply amazing. Humans are so smart, but we are too smart for our own good. Many of us have bought into this self-destructive idea that we can ignore this easily transmitted possibly deadly virus. That is just not true. One day we will be able to do as we please, but not now. Please keep your distance, people. The more the better. 6' is the minimum. More is better. We can do this. The virus has no brain. We need to use our brains to beat it. If we don't then it wins. Don't let the virus win.
Just remember the 3 W's.
Wash your hands.
Watch your distance.
Wear a mask.
Thank you.

I think the director of the CDC making a statement qualifies as a CDC statement.
He said “the cost” has been more teen deaths from suicide than COVID. In one sense, the statement is meaningless since practically no *healthy* teens have died of COVID. And if they are committing suicide over the virus then they are tragically misinformed.
The “cost” is the cost of the policy: many teens of HS age have been separated from their peers and there’s a high correlation between social isolation and risk for suicide.
And these unnecessary deaths are occurring in a population that has a slightly higher than 13 months of life left on this earth.
COVID Reality.

Hello Darth,
OK, so Dr. Redfield is the CDC Director.
He was appointed by Donald Trump after Trump's first appointment had to resign in disgrace.
Dr. Redfield has been criticized for his handling of the crisis.
"Dr. William Foege doesn't know how his private letter to the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Robert Redfield, got leaked — but he stands by its contents.
"I think we've got about the worst response to this pandemic that you could possibly have," said Foege, who served as CDC director from 1977 to 1983, spanning the Carter and Reagan administrations, in an interview with NPR. "
Past CDC Director Urges Current One To Stand Up To Trump
What I see here is a cherry-picked fact meant to support Donald Trump's lax handling of the crisis.
OK, so more teens are dying from suicides than have died from COVID.
That sounds very believable to me. But let's put that in context to better understand why the full story is not told by that soundbyte.
Teens have been committing suicide for a long time. It's a big problem that existed prior to the pandemic. If more teens are still dying from suicide than COVID that simply reflects that not many young people die from COVID, and teens continue to kill themselves at greater rates as they have in the past.
The one fact which has not been said is whether or not teen suicides are increased now, and by how much.
Regardless of any increase (a fact which has been omitted as a part of the cherry-picking,) the fact remains that we need to continue to do social distancing, and teens need to comply just as much as all other humans because whether or not they are strongly afflicted by the disease they still get the disease, become carriers whether they show symptoms or not, and they could easily transmit the disease to others who could die from it.
Distancing for teens is not a matter of trying to prevent teen COVID deaths. It is matter of reducing the transmission of the disease and slowing the spread until we have an effective vaccine widely available. We are trying to buy time.
Teen suicides is a completely different matter that needs to be addressed by good parenting and possible intervention. We simply cannot abandon the three W's because teens struggle to understand the gravity of the macroscopic picture.
Asymptomatic carriers of the disease can infect other people and cause them to die.
We must limit contact between humans.
Humans packed in a classroom for extended duration is simply not a good idea right now.
This disease has affected everybody's daily lives.
If you are human, you need to do your part to fight the disease.
The humans who resist the wise measures are actually helping the disease to spread further.
This is war. It's the humans against the bug. We need to all be together on the side of the humans.
Don't be on the side of the bug.
The virus will not reward you.
The virus has no brain.
We humans have brains.
We need to use them.

The medical people have had a shit ton of time to figure things out, time that was obtained at extreme cost to the nation as a whole and the citizens individually.....it is time to get back to life as best we can...the Victim Culture Cult can not be allowed to strangle us on COVID any more....we cant keep slacking and charging our bills to the kids/grandkids/unborn...we cant be that horrible of people....we have to do better.
