“Looking back over the last quarter-century, there’s been no intervention that has caused a decline in overdose deaths of this magnitude,” said Nabarun Dasgupta, a senior scientist at the University of North Carolina and one of the authors of the analysis. “It’s unprecedented.”
Just one more thing they'll blame Biden for. I hope.

Thanks for posting this.
I carry Narcan, at all times. Both in my truck and in my bag.
In my life I have used it twice.
Once while doing semi-illegal, needle exchange. With a Harm Reduction Group. And once as a night security guard.
This is fairly cheap, easy to learn how to use.
And definitely saves lives.
