The CDC only tracks actual suicides, not attempts. Suicidal thoughts and attempts are up: https://www.aappublications.org/news/2020/12/16/pediatricssu...
Besides, in the CDC table, "unintentional injuries" is up by way more than suicides are down. This includes things like car accidents, and is a little suspicious, like suicidal behavior led to a death that wasn't classified as suicide. Also note that the table is "deaths with covid or presumed covid", not "deaths by covid": https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2778234

everyone is at home, so perhaps there's less people alone long enough to commit suicide?

Alcohol and drug abuse is way up as well, that will have long term ramifications.
