Opioid deaths are spiking in places across the U.S. as states remain locked down during the ongoing battle against the coronavirus, state and county health officials reported this month.

Health officials and experts have cited increased isolation and job loss due to statewide shutdowns as possible factors for the surge in drug-related deaths.

    • Um how are LOCAL lockdowns Trump’s fault? He said to stop them as the CDC said they are only useful to get things organized and prevent hospital overflow.
      Poverty and unemployment? Blame the lockdowns. Blame Pelosi who refuses to have any of her wishlist (much of which has nothing to do with covid) removed in a compromise. Her idea of a compromise is “MY WAY”. Blame teachers unions who have their own socialist wishlist that must be filled before they will consider returning to the classroom (proof- los Angeles. Universal healthcare has nothing to do with why teachers cant teach. Banning Charter schools from opening has nothing to do with covid.) If schools cant open parents cant work.
      The economy was amazing before Covid. During and post covid? There are many more to blame besides Trump.

  1. To quote President Trump:

    “The cure CANNOT be worse than the disease!!”

    STOP THE LOCKDOWNS!!!!!!

    STOP VOTING IN CONTROL AND POWER HUNGRY DEMOCRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
