Opioid-related deaths increased among less-educated whites following LA County's stay-at-home order

"The start of the pandemic occurred while we saw fentanyl infiltrating the west coast," said Doctor, who co-directs the behavioral science program at the USC Schaeffer Center and is an associate professor at the Price School of Public Policy. "It was a challenging confluence of events which we are finding had devastating outcomes for some communities."

The people who died were mostly white males residing in areas where a smaller share of the adult population has a bachelor's degree.

"Our findings suggest that COVID-19 and the stay-at-home orders impacted opioid-related behaviors differently across communities. While fatal opioid-related overdoses increased overall in 2020 compared to 2019, this trend was mostly due to a significant increase among whites," said Marcella Kelley, predoctoral fellow at Schaeffer Center.

Don’t they know that the only thing people are dying from is Covid-19-84?

Raciss!

Is it bashing whitey if it’s about opioids? Because that was the cause Celebre over the last few years before this scamdemic. And, you know, it was an epidemic and thus, they are only victims, not reprobates.

“The people who died were mostly white males”

Beef prices going through the roof. Pork threatened by swine flu. Travel is tanking. Random supply chain issues. 10000 people+ from Haiti on the southern border. EPA clamping down on car tuning. New covid spike. All exactly according to plan.

Large numbers of chronic pain patients forced off prescription opioids who have gone to the street and use dangerous drugs such as fentanyl.

DEA pushed chronic pain patients to the street and the patients got Chinese fentanyl. DEA works with China. DEA agents should be tried and executed for treason like Miley.

They are attacking what we eat, our freedom of movement, how we get around, the products we use. Next will be housing. Here is a scenario: let the current bubble tank. People walk away from their massively underwater mortgages. Government bails out the banks by buying houses and knocking them down. People wind up in high density housing. Those who don’t bite are subjected to electricity and natural gas rationing, causing more to jump ship. Whoever holds out gets their house condemned so the EPA can “rewild” the neighborhood. The American dream is officially over.

The people who died were mostly white males...

Didn't know any were left in LA County.

I haven't seen one in years.

No big deal, as the Admin sees fake vaccination cards coming across the boarder as a far bigger threat and the major focus of its efforts on the border - per report on cable this am
