How much will the economic-induced death toll be for the sustained lockdown suicide pact into which we've been involuntarily entered?
Scaled for today's population, each 1% increase in unemployment would cost us ~60,000 extra lives: https://sci-hub.tw/https://doi.org/10.1177/003232927600600408

Being unemployed contributes to a 63% increase in the chance of dying: https://sci-hub.tw/10.1016/j.socscimed.2011.01.005

Economists are predicting a roughly 10-fold increase in unemployment due to our lockdown measures, to around 32%. That's higher than in the Great Depression. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/30/coronavirus-job-losses-could-total-47-million-unemployment-rate-of-32percent-fed-says.html

If that type of unemployment level is sustained, we could be looking at deaths in the 1.8 million range for Americans as a result of the economic consequences of the lockdown decisions being made for us, without our consultation. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/news/will-deaths-of-despair-outpace-deaths-from-coronavirus/

At a "mere" 5% increase in unemployment, we'd been looking at ~294,000 extra deaths as a result of lockdown. That's a low figure at this point. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/news/will-deaths-of-despair-outpace-deaths-from-coronavirus/

A middle-ground increase of 16% to 17% (for a total of about 20%), would be around ~970,000 extra deaths as a result of lockdown. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/news/will-deaths-of-despair-outpace-deaths-from-coronavirus/

Those who would be most at-risk from economic-induced deaths would be people age 18 to 34, and of those, particularly men. Also, people who are early or in the middle of their careers would be most affected. The elderly population, not as much.

In addition to the other lasting knock-on effects of a possible (probable) Second Great Depression, the deaths and demographic crunch will vastly change the American landscape, particularly in terms of overall life expectancy.

I think there has to be a middle ground between ~294,000 and 1.8 million economic-induced deaths and a severe setback in national life expectancy, versus the coronavirus projections (not well understood at this point, and which would impact life expectancy very little).

We deserve to know the cost of the actions that are being forced on us. We must demand them from our leaders, like @realDonaldTrump. Call the White House at 202-456-6213 and demand that an economic life-cost model be made public.
It could be your life they sacrifice.
