Not only unpopular, but probably prematurely incorrect.

"Mental health consequences of the COVID-19 crisis including suicidal behavior are likely to be present for a long time and peak later than the actual pandemic."

I didn't argue that there wouldn't be mental health consequences or that they wouldn't continue past covid. Just that "no mental health consequences" wasn't an option on the table, and not having lockdowns leaves you with 10s millions dead on top of probably worse mental health consequences.

So will this peak be worse then having a normal school year along side a increase in covid deaths?

This was a "trolly problem" situation. The least worse option had to be selected.
