On the Fact that Drug Overdose Deaths Skyrocketed by 30% from 2019 to 2020 (an Increase from 72,000 to 93,000)

Let's see, what happened in 2020? Oh yeah, a bunch of parasitic psychopaths decided that it was a good idea to crash the economy, shut down the schools, and stress the public so badly through isolation that 20,000 additional young people decided to deaden the sheer misery by self-medicating. Thought that it sounded familiar.................................................................................................................P.S. Though, yes, as horrific as this news is, it does provide a teachable moment in that most of these overdose deaths probably happened to young folks with 40 to 50 more years of potential life. Contrast that with the COVID deaths, a significant number of those happening to sick and elderly people with only months to live. This is how the researchers arrive at the number of lost years of life and why the data is so skewed in the direction of the lockdowns being significantly more destructive than the virus. You see how it works now?
