CDC: One quarter of young adults contemplated suicide during pandemic

One in four young adults between the ages of 18 and 24 say they've considered suicide in the past month because of the pandemic, according to new CDC data that paints a bleak picture of the nation's mental health during the crisis.

The data also flags a surge of anxiety and substance abuse, with more than 40 percent of those surveyed saying they experienced a mental or behavioral health condition connected to the Covid-19 emergency. The CDC study analyzed 5,412 survey respondents between June 24 and 30.

The toll is falling heaviest on young adults, caregivers, essential workers and minorities. While 10.7 percent of respondents overall reported considering suicide in the previous 30 days, 25.5 percent of those between 18 to 24 reported doing so. Almost 31 percent of self-reported unpaid caregivers and 22 percent of essential workers also said they harbored such thoughts. Hispanic and Black respondents similarly were well above the average.

Roughly 30.9 percent of respondents said they had symptoms of anxiety or depression. Roughly 26.3 respondents reported trauma and stress-related disorder because of the pandemic.

"Douce Hey?"

Wouldn't "Hey, Douce" be more appropriate?

If there are two of them ("douce") which one are you addressing?

Are typos racist? Particularly if they haven't been proofread?

Thank you for bringing that to my attention.
I have since corrected the typo.

Mispronunciation per se is not necessarily racist.
Deliberate mispronunciation may be, depending on the circumstances.
Short of having some sort of speech impediment or simply being incapable of proper pronunciation, deliberate mispronunciation, even after one has been corrected as Mr. Carlson has been, is just plain douchey.

@xenon said in How many ways do I eat thee?:

My wife had rabbits as pets growing up.

She would cry if she saw rabbit meat in the refrigerator. That's not an exaggeration.

D3 has a bunny as a pet to this day. If I even mentioned eating one, my wife would go nuts as well.

lololol.

Under that standard, almost every non-brown person I've met in my life has been racist. Who knew..

That's sort of the point, isn't it? Everything is racist when viewed through the prism of CNN's commentatariat.
