Democrats supported lockdowns that gave rise to an increase in cases of depression, a highly correlated precursor to suicide and other mental illnesses. Suicide and drug use, and a slew of other mental health issues have had a dramatic uptick with little sign of coming down. These symptoms were widely predicted by many after it became apparent that \u201c15 days to slow the spread\u201d was a lie. Despite this, politicians who were pro-lockdown are now starting to see the negative impact the lockdowns are having.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Supervisor Nathan Fletcher is one such politician. Being staunchly pro-lockdown, Fletcher has come out pledging \u201cto make greater access to behavioral health services a priority,\u201d while also failing to acknowledge his hand in creating the problem. Fletcher put out <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nathanfletcher\/status\/1466784470107783176\">a tweet<\/a> Friday morning saying, \u201cwe have a ways to go, but are headed in the right direction.\u201d However, some view pursuing pro-lockdown strategies while also being pro-mental health to be opposite directions. Fletcher plans to gain influence and trust by messaging his plan to increase the budget and staff for mental health wellness, an effort to combat a problem he helped create.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Photo Cred: Adriana Heldiz\/ Voice of San Diego<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by T.
