San Francisco Hits Record Overdose Deaths; 3 per Day from Fentanyl
The numbers underscore how San Francisco officials continue to struggle to address the devastation of fentanyl on the city’s streets — a crisis that Health Director Dr. Grant Colfax called “distressing.” The last figures indicate people are dying from fentanyl overdoses at a rate of nearly three people a day.

@earl-of-trumps saidI understand this drug is a real and growing problem. I also understand your eagerness to frame a predominately liberal city such as San Francisco in its worst possible light. This is the tactic of choice used by those holier than thou folks on FOX news. You might consider though that Fentanyl is a growing problem in cities and towns across the country, and that there are just as many conservatives as there are liberals addicted to this drug, just as there are the same percentage of conservatives as liberals on public assistance.

Your cherry picking of facts is duly noted.
@mchill saidYeah, I know that the problem is all over America but I believe that San Francisco is then trend setter. mchill, 3 a day??

Cows!
That looks like quite a problem they have in San Fransisco.
So, being the educator of the masses I think I am (I’m not and I don’t; I’m just being cute, which I do and I am), I took a wee peek into the numbers…

The States with the highest death rates by overdosing are:
1. West Virginia
2. Tennessee
3. Louisiana
4. Kentucky
It is a very interesting site.
You can also find out which states have the highest teen pregnancy rates (red States), highest gun related deaths (red states) and lowest life expectancy rates (red states).
Quite telling really.

Source please, and don't say out of your butt.
@shavixmir saidYou’re supposed to finish by saying ‘sad’ or even ‘so sad’ it makes you look humanitarian rather than partisan. Some crocodile tears would be a nice touch if you can find the emoji for them

EDIT to add:
3 overdoses per day is 1,095 deaths/year, which is a lot more than the number of people killed in Chicago in a year.
America SLEEPS with this epidemic.

I just noted that California does not have the highest amount of drug-overdose deaths in the US.
There are States that do much worse.
