I’ve no idea, but I know that if I had been trapped in marriage by a baby, I would have been suicidal. Fortunately I wasn’t, escaped thirty years ago and have never thought about the ridiculous concept since.

What was the proportion of married women among those perinatal suicides?

Are we to believe anything from any bureaucratic organization anymore? The entire globe seems corrupt and every organization/foundation/charity/university/government department that issues “information”/propaganda has a political bias. I don’t know what to believe anymore besides the Bible.
No, we are not. It’s common sense to always ask what’s the angle, and who’s paying for it.

“Mercifully, we are dealing with relatively small numbers here, which means that marginal changes in the absolute figures can look like huge changes proportionally”
Isn’t that the point. In the UK about 5,500 people each year commit suicide which is about 15 each day.
Apparently 150 people each year die as a result of falling coconuts
“Apparently 150 people each year die as a result of falling coconuts”
What, in the UK ?
Maybe we should all get together and start a petition against coconut shies at fairgrounds and summer fete’s.
I should have said worldwide.
I was standing under a coconut tree with my son, sheltering from the rain, when I looked up to see a bunch of large green, heavy looking coconuts which caused m to ponder the question.
I expect that WHO will shortly demand action, presumably the pollarding of all coconut trees to below head height
Better yet, they will demand complex coconut catching devices to be installed on every coconut tree worldwide, replete with approved netting, spun from Scottish wool.
This is a public health catastrophe. We need an immediate lockdown so people cannot approach these deadly trees. Follow the model of the city of Toronto, where all cherry trees were fenced off in the Covid springs to prevent people from congregating around their (deadly) blossoms. And of course we need our benevolent pharmaceutical overlords to begin work on a new mandatory gene therapy to inoculate the population against the falling coconuts. Of course we know you can’t inoculate against such things, but that doesn’t mean you can’t cook up the numbers to make it seem to work, and censor all suggestions that they don’t work. We have the playbook for this people – time to get to work!

“10 out of 674,377 in 2020 (1.48 per 100,000).” TEN? TEN? Ten is not a crisis. How many men died by suicide in 2020? I’m sure it far more than ten. You don’t even mention male suicide. That no one is talking about male suicide – the IS a crisis.
With the caveat that 1 suicide is too many, I agree with you.
In 2020 – 2021* there were 4,129 male suicides (16.0 deaths per 100,000) and 1,454 female suicides (5.5 deaths per 100,000), therefore 10 out of 674,377 is relatively low.
*The figures are from the ONS, many 2020 suicides were not registered until 2021 due to the situation.

This is very sad, but because of the circumstances during the pandemic it is possible that the “crisis” has already passed and the numbers may have reduced. We will have to wait and see at the same time as monitoring the situation carefully. I hope that is what is happening.
We certainly need more midwives and mental health nurses. If only some more women, who call themselves feminists, who claim to care about women, would step up to the line and get their hands dirty doing something practical to help them.

“… comparing 2017-19 with 2020. 10 women died out of 2,173,810 women giving birth in 2017-19 (0.46 per 100,000) compared with 10 out of 674,377 in 2020 (1.48 per 100,000)…”
You’re comparing either two or three years (2017-19) with one year (2020). Of course the number of deaths per 100K will appear to be higher in the one-year cohort than those spread out over the longer period.
Absolutely. It’s a shame that people are so numerically illiterate and even proud of it. If more time were spent teaching simple arithmetic to our kids, a lot of conspiracy theories never would take hold. It would also give people like our politicians more confidence in understanding science and challenging their advisors.
Yes, that’s my point. They’ve intentionally combined the apples of total numbers with the oranges of different rates because it exaggerates the idea they’re pushing.

They should have terminated that one. Instead a child will grow up without a mother.
