Number of opioid deaths in Ontario skyrocketed post-pandemic compared to 2019, coroner's data indicates | CBC News

Ontario's Office of the Chief Coroner recently released preliminary data tracking opioid deaths during the first two years of the pandemic compared to previously, with Dr. Dirk Huyer saying, 'It got heck of a lot worse during the pandemic.'

About eight people per day died from opioids in the second year of the pandemic. From April 2021 to March 2022, 2,790 opioid-related deaths were recorded, up slightly from 2,727 in the first year of the pandemic, the coroner's office reports. But the data also indicates the death rate dropped by 10 per cent in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period last year.

The number of overall deaths dropped by 31 per cent in March 2022 compared to March 2021. Ontario lifted most COVID-19 restrictions that month, although Huyer said that at this point, that is simply a correlation, not necessarily the cause for the drop.

Just say NO..Drink whiskey and it will be fine. You get to come to in the morning. Your choice..

And yet there’s no talk from government officials to stop the big pharmaceutical companies from making and distributing them. Unbelievable the world we live in today! So much can be done but crickets from the feds.. Trudeau is a puppet and needs to go!

Then do something to get it off the streets for starters remove the joke RCMP officials who brought it here by helping a bike gang to take over the streets here in Canada and spreading the fentanyl everywhere and it was them it truly was. another Justin Trudeau scam

And yet still not a single politician has the balls to call out China for their role in the opiod crisis. Not surprised, they can't even call China out for their role in covid.

That’s right, we are NOT dying from COVID.,. But…. From the Trudeau government policies 🙏

Depression, lockdowns, job loss and vaccine madness. Far more dangerous than covid ever was.

Watch dope sick. Great series.

So is the \\/

Well the first year is just the warm up to the crushing pain of addiction, opioids are sneaky f*uckers.

Lockdowns kill more people than covid

Solution! Stop using drugs.

We see it every day out here. So many people losing their personal battles.

notice the difference in response to covid vs. drug overdose? Every life matters the gov't tell us. Just not equally.
