yeah, they should legalize and regulate the drugs instead
the biggest issue with those deaths is there is no regulation on the drug and thus spiked with numerous other things to cut it and expand profit and thus making the drug unsafe

Before I eviscerate your narrative show me which programs specifically that began in these time frames that you say caused this.

What Carroll didn’t say, but is also true, is that Covid is now a crisis largely for red states.
And it’s important to make that point both to understand where we are and as
a reminder of the political roots of America’s pandemic failures.

It's OVER 5,000!
Do you think my opinion was formed off of that single graph?
That graph is one of many data elements reinforcing my opinion.

This was the same story last year.
At some point yall just need to accept this is seasonal.
The Blue states were taking victory laps last summer before being decimated in the fall and winter for the second time

seasonality certainly is a factor
people stay indoors in florida and other southeastern states this time of the year due to heat and humidity...more time indoors is a factor that accelerates the spread of covid
i suspect, however, that vaccination rates are a bigger factor explaining regional variations this year
it is one of those things with multiple factors affecting the outcomes

I think the graph fit the narrative you wanted to sell so you just assumed the cause and posted. The real reason behind this increase was the rise of fentanyl in the area which is a drug that should be illegal. It's actually considered less serious than marijuana because fentanyl is considered to have medicinal value. Heroin dealers in the area started using fentanyl in their heroin so they could make more money. In 2018 where the big spike is is when counterfeit fentanyl hit the market there. Around half or more of the deaths are accidental exposure to it.
