Studies suggest a rise in rates as a result of severe work conditions during a coronavirus pandemic.
John Mondello, 23, committed suicide on Friday with his father's gun, after less than three months in the emergency where he took a job after graduating from the Emergency Medical Academy. Just two days later, Dr Lorna Breen, 49, the medical director of the emergency department at New York-Presbyterian Allen Hospital, did the same.
They both worked in the poorest parts of New York, which, with all the burden of life in them, was devastated by the pandemic of the coronavirus. They were direct witnesses to the situation and when one person died in the city every three minutes, when forklifts dumped corpses in cold storage, when there was no protective equipment, US media report.
Breen's father told the Times that his daughter had described devastating scenes of the toll the coronavirus took on patients. She had contracted the coronavirus but returned to work after about a week and a half, Breen told the Times, adding that she did not have a history of mental illness.
John Mondello, 23, graduated the FDNY’s EMS Academy in early February and then got right into the “chaos” with the Tactical Response Group next to EMS Station 18 in Claremont, one of the busiest in the city.
Described by a pal as “always very peppy, very happy,” Mondello told another friend he didn’t like his new job, saying he “was experiencing a lot of anxiety witnessing a lot of death, he’d feel it was a heavy experience when he’d fail to save a life,” the buddy reported.
Imagine what it’s like, watching so many take their last breath, helpless to stop it even though helping is your job.
The media indicates that they were heroes, who did not endure.
There are 162.000 COVID-19 positive people in New York today, and 17.682 have died.
Mental health experts say the situation will worsen during the coronavirus crisis, which could increase suicide rates by 32 percent, with health care workers most at risk.
Research has previously found that the rate of suicide among nurses and technicians is significantly higher than among people in other professions.
The suicide rate was 11.97 per 100.000 people for nurses, and for technicians more than three times higher, 39.8 per 100.000.
So despite the US, directly or indirectly, causing the death of millions throughout the world I need to sympathise with the Americans because Serbs decided to live there?
...
If Sanders is Bernie Sanders then you have no idea what is going on.
Bernie Sanders, Tulsi Gabbard etc are all trojan horses for the two-party system.

1) Even if you happen to be from NKorea, the nurses are required to help you.
If they don't or do it the way the "help" kills you because you maybe do not have enough money in certain U.S. states they could be put in electric chair.
On the other hand even if you are American, the accounting of the hospital may send you a totally bogus invoice, with double and triple billing.
Please blame the ones who are directly guilty, not the heroes who collapsed, unable to deal with the stress.
2) I see a certain controversy. Once, you blame our political system that there aren't many choices and that it's rigged. This is correct. Than you blame everyone, including me and the Serbs living in the U.S. for the political crimes of the leadership.
You are right with the first, but if that's the case, we, too, have very limited choices whom to vote. All we can do is to vote for the lesser evil.
3) It is not hard to see who is a trojan horse: look for their voting record.

- Many Serbs and others, born outside of US live in the States and are de-facto "yanks".
- Sanders is a "yank", too.
- A single ill "yank" unwillingly can give a free "gift" infecting the entire exYU.

Just look at Syria; how much misery has the US brought on those people and yes it was Obama that armed the opposition including ISIS and started regime change not the Russians.
If Sanders is Bernie Sanders then you have no idea what is going on.
Bernie Sanders, Tulsi Gabbard etc are all trojan horses for the two-party system. They don’t want change; they were there to keep the system intact mate. Ross Perot did the same thing so that the Democratic Party did not fragment. Everyone thought he was a refreshing change – it was a hoax. Its not a case of one or two rotten apples in the barrel; all the apples are rotten.

So a few Americans cant cope and everyone should feel compassion for them, but what about the people who are subjected to US sanctions? Suffering in some instances for years. Do you recall the sanctions on Iraq where 500,000 children died and Madeline Albright declared that these sanction were worth all those deaths.
What goes around comes around people. Buckle up Americans and stop whining.
