Trump said the opioid epidemic would go away. It didn’t.
According to preliminary data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, drug overdose deaths in 2019, before Covid-19, hit a record high of nearly 72,000, up almost 5 percent from 69,000 in 2018 and 11 percent from 65,000 in 2016, the year before Trump took office. The data for 2020 so far suggests the year will be even worse, due to problems caused by Covid-19 and the continued spread of fentanyl, a dangerous synthetic opioid, in illegal drug markets.
