Die Lebenserwartung in den USA sinkt - Drogenepidemie

[wolfi]

Grausige Zahlen:

U.S. deaths from drug overdoses skyrocketed 21 percent last year, and for the second straight year dragged down how long Americans are expected to live.

The government figures released Thursday put drug deaths at 63,600, up from about 52,000 in 2015. For the first time, the powerful painkiller fentanyl and its close opioid cousins played a bigger role in the deaths than any other legal or illegal drug, surpassing prescription pain pills and heroin.

Dass die Zahl der Erschossenen (incl Unfall und Suizid) auch stark steigt, wen wundert es noch ...

Gun deaths rose for a second year, to nearly 39,000. They had been hovering around 33,500 deaths a few years ago.
