There is a suicide epidemic going on right now. Here's an NYT article about it.

I found out about it because I went to the big box store and wasn't able to purchase rope I needed for a project. The employee I asked about the missing stock of rope related products wasn't even permitted to say the word "rope" instead saying that "this part of our inventory is out of stock for the duration of the pandemic and we will not be getting more" while her eyes pleaded with me to drop the subject.
