Fentanyl Epidemic: rising overdoses outpacing COVID-19 in San Francisco.
Every day, fentanyl claims the lives of two individuals in San Francisco. In April alone, there were 66 recorded overdoses, totaling 268 since the beginning of the year, marking a 41% increase. Since 2020, opioids have caused 2,274 fatalities, surpassing the combined number of COVID-19 cases (1,187)
BLUMORPHO comment :
It’s particularly striking that the number of opioid-related deaths exceeds not only COVID-19 cases but also homicides and car accidents combined, emphasizing the severity of the opioid crisis. It is deeply concerning and calls for urgent attention and action.
