Is Anyone Shocked?

 Not because I'm a super brain because I'm not but two years ago when forced into the 'stay at home' nonsense I sort of figured alcoholism and alcohol deaths would skyrocket. Here's the story.

The numbers were hidden for obvious reasons. It was more difficult to cull the numbers on opoid deaths. At last count for 2021 the death total was 100,000.which is up 40,000 from 2020.

• Approximately 74,408 Americans ages 16 to 64 died of alcohol-related causes, compared to 74,075 individuals under 65 who died of COVID. https://www.axios.com/alcohol-related-deaths-surged-pandemic-covid-19-22f0ebd0-2dd8-4065-89cb-23e0a18711a7.html

What you're looking at for alki deaths was for 2020 to 2021. For 2021 the the alcohol deaths jumped from 75,000 to 100,000.

Thanks a lot Biden and Fauci. And you can throw in Andrew Cuomo for putting Covid patients in the same building as our elderly.
