Where are you getting your data about suicides? My impression is that an increase of tens of thousands is quite an overstatement. See https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/19/health/pandemic-coronavir...

Based strictly on estimated unemployment/suicide causal relationship. Actual numbers are probably higher than I've estimated due to depression caused by non-unemployment factors like social isolation. As I understand, this comports with the recent rise in e.g. opiate deaths.
