This Doctor Said His Hospital Had Seen 'A Year's Worth Of Suicide Attempts' In Four Weeks Because Of The Coronavirus Lockdown. That Wasn't True.
But in an interview with BuzzFeed News, deBoisblanc said his comment about hospital seeing"a year's worth of suicide attempts in the last four weeks" was inaccurate, and at the time he didn't know what the true numbers were. Many of his other comments, which compared the number of deaths from COVID-19 to suicides,"were taken a bit out of context," he added.
"Unfortunately, we have the data to prove it," deBoisblanc told ABC7, talking about the impact stay-at-home orders have had on mental health. When deBoisblanc later spoke to BuzzFeed News, he admitted despite his concerns, there was no data directly linking the suicide attempts seen at the hospital to the lockdown.
John Muir Medical Center is Contra Costa's trauma center, meaning emergency injuries and trauma, such as many suicide attempts, from all over the county with 1.1 million residents are most likely directed there. COVID-19 cases, on the other hand, have been more evenly distributed across all of the county's hospitals, a move medical officials took at the beginning of the pandemic to prevent overwhelming a single facility.
