If the edit is for scansion, I'd go with:

"...people get tremendous anxiety and depression, and you have suicides over things like this when you have terrible economies. You have death. ...definitely ... in far greater numbers than the numbers that we’re talking about with regard to the virus."

He uses repetition. One of many persuasion techniques.

The point about suicides may be arguable. Suicides up but traffic accidents down?
