US Hidden Epidemic
Despite Covid-19 and the hyped-up coverage of the pandemic by the US mainstream media, the main cause of hospital and rehab admissions remains excessive consumption of alcohol, usually by adults, while the younger generation finds itself facing novel chemical drugs in the black market.
Therefore overdosing on dangerous drugs persists and Americans continue living with a serious drug problem. The destructive aspect of drugs available in the American drug market has exacerbated today. Fentanyl, for example is similar to morphine although it is reportedly 50 to 100 times more potent. That offers another relative explanation for the rise in the number of overdose deaths.
In this episode, we will delve into all aspects of a less reported epidemic in the United States: Drug overdose. We will try to find out how much the drug overdose epidemic has changed in America, who are impacted the most and more importantly what could be done about it by the government the states and the people.
