The CDC announced in July that there were 93,331 overdose deaths in the US in 2020.
Provisional data from CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics indicate that there were an estimated 93,331 drug overdose deaths in the United States during 2020, an increase of 29.4% from the 72,151 deaths predicted in 2019.

The data features an interactive web data visualization. The new data documents that estimated overdose deaths from opioids increased from 50,963 in 2019 to 69,710 in 2020. Overdose deaths from synthetic opioids (primarily fentanyl) and psychostimulants such as methamphetamine also increased in 2020 compared to 2019. Cocaine deaths also increased in 2020, as did deaths from natural and semi-synthetic opioids (such as prescription pain medication).
Also in 2020, for the tenth year in a row, there were no deaths due to global warming. ZERO. Not a single death. And yet this is what the media and Democrats want you to believe is the greatest existential threat facing the country.
We are being led by idiots and liars.

Ask any and all leftists you know, “If climate change is such a threat, why does Barack Hussein Obama own a mansion on Martha’s Vineyard?”
“I didn’t get a harrumph out you. You better watch your a$$.”<br<
gentlemen we have to look out to save our phony baloney jobs.
but the Global Warming freaks want to kill us all
In two years more opiod deaths than US military fatalities from all causes from 1950 to present.
But those who took the drugs that killed them were compelled to use them because of climate change.
I can fix that.
Drug overdose deaths are caused by GlobalClimateWarmingChange.
The less people the easier to control and enslave the remaining people with their global warming hoax and the upcoming 'climate' lockdowns.
Wonder how many of these overdoses were from painkillers paid for by Medicaid?
There is a certain segment of the population that gets on disability (SSI) and Medicaid, and spends their days strung out on painkillers. And most of ‘em ARE bright enough to figure out that they can get more by going to the ER and saying that their pain is a “10”.
DEA is protecting the drug cartels
And why does Al Gore buy on the California coast.
The drug dealers would rather have you worry about the weather.
Obama bought a ten or twenty million dollar house on the coast in Hawaii.
Biden owns the same on the east coast.
Rising waters?
I guess they missed that memo.
What if they said their pain had gone all the way to 11?
Climate change will exponentially surpass all other causes of death when they put in the “Climate Crisis Emergency Act” or similar, to enforce a lock down/grid down/everything down. Those actions will cascade into a catastrophic civilizational collapse which will filter out all but the uber-wealthy and cloistered ruling families, and those they find suitable to preserve as slaves.
At least that’s the plan as best I can gather. But plans go awry.
I have a solution to this crisis: Let it out that people are using illegal dugs as a treatent for COVID. THEN the government and the media will take them seriously and move heaven and earth to shut them down.
I’m conflicted. These are generally unproductive people who are a drain on society. But the death toll indicates that as a society we are in trouble.
