I saw on the news tonight that 10% of those surveyed have felt suicidal in the past 30 days and the figure is 25% for those aged 18 to 24. This was part of a story about a young man who did commit suicide. There is a lot of emphasis on protecting older people in the pandemic. How helpful would it be in saving younger lives if we could get a vaccine passport that would enable us to return to maskless, free life as it was pre-covid rather than waiting months? years? forever? for a herd immunity that may never come as a third of people don't want the vaccine?

Last summer I learned that there were two suicides at the toney retirement center here in st louis. At least one of them jumped from a third or four story building. It’s the isolation that got them.
