In a responsible country, we might have shut down, worn masks &amp; self-distance, And then open quicker but carefully, knowing in many places the closures wiill caused suicides and deaths from lack of care fór other medical conditions, domestic abuse, etc. Sweden's taken a lot of shit fór their 5000 dead testing her immunity, but the extra 4000 or so might be close to the collateral deaths and lives ruined.</p> <p>Except in the US we're making it 500,000 deaths or more from infections and stupidity, So Its not apples to apples.</p> </div></div></div> Thu, 02 Jul 2020 05:38:36 +0000 PeraclesPlease comment 284470 at http://dagblog.com I talked to Steven Manzo in http://dagblog.com/comment/284460#comment-284460 <a id="comment-284460"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/link/cries-help-drug-overdoses-are-soaring-during-coronavirus-pandemic-31736">‘Cries for help’: Drug overdoses are soaring during the coronavirus pandemic</a></em></p> <div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p> </p><div class="media_embed"> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" height="" width=""> <p dir="ltr" lang="en" xml:lang="en">I talked to Steven Manzo in late March, just after he lost his job at a Michigan bar.<br /><br /> 2 weeks later he died of a drug overdose, his first relapse in years.<br /><br /> Ambulance data shows drug overdoses jumped<br /> 18% in March<br /> 29% in April<br /> 42% in May<a href="https://t.co/yw1eFfMQKx">https://t.co/yw1eFfMQKx</a> w/<a href="https://twitter.com/thewanreport?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@thewanreport</a> <a href="https://t.co/afPe3yulXo">pic.twitter.com/afPe3yulXo</a></p> — Heather Long (@byHeatherLong) <a href="https://twitter.com/byHeatherLong/status/1278321294396833795?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 1, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async="" charset="utf-8" height="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" width=""></script></div> </div></div></div> Thu, 02 Jul 2020 02:11:17 +0000 artappraiser comment 284460 at http://dagblog.com
