CDC warns a of 'substantial increase' in fatal drug overdoses coinciding with the pandemic

I gave him the case number. Like so many others behind on the rent, Jasmine Cruz says she's living on borrowed time. A federal halt on evictions is set to expire December 30. 1st. Cruise, a single mother who owes her landlord two months of rent, was recently issued a warrant to pay it. Every day she wakes up expecting to be evicted. I'm 25 years old, I'm a single mother and I try on my own off of like one income. It's not easy. I've been struggling now with a two month old son, no job and unable to pay for childcare during the pandemic, she looks after her son full time with nowhere else to go and no one to count on. Cruz came here to the Thrive Resource Center, operated out of a makeshift office in an apartment complex. Monica Delancey helps those in Atlanta who are at risk of being evicted. All are either black or Latino, and Delancey knows their story well. Put you out. They put me out last year, year to the day with the Christmas tree on the cold day like this with the Christmas tree. We don't want you to get to that point. If you have to move, we want you to move with dignity. We want you to move and pack your things up and we'll find you a place. But we don't want to be forced out because kids do not know how to get over that Adults can. Kids don't know how to kids Like nine year old Fantasia, who lives with her grandma, Garnell Haj Haj lost her job in the service industry because of Cove It. You've got on your door. Last week, Hodge says, Fantasia started to realize how bad things were when the family got an eviction notice. I don't have anywhere to go. We got places also high, not aware. Much income Black and Latino families consistently report low confidence in the ability to pay rent during the pandemic. According to the National Low Income Housing Coalition, Communities of color are the hardest hit by the eviction crisis and represent 80% of people facing eviction. In Atlanta, the United Way's says 95% of the families they help who are facing eviction are black. There's just said 2500 applications in process, and there's thousands more. You're getting to the point where you can't accept. You can't help everybody that needs help. Not only can we not help this funding expires in December, that is the biggest plea we have. There's some way we can extend it so that we can keep helping families.

The U.S. has seen a substantial increase in fatal drug overdoses and set a record for deaths from overdoses in the year that ended in May, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Thursday.The worst of the deaths coincide with closures and other measures taken to control the pandemic, the CDC said in a health alert.Data from the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics indicates that approximately 81,230 drug overdose deaths occurred in the U.S. in that period."This represents a worsening of the drug overdose epidemic in the United States and is the largest number of drug overdoses for a 12-month period ever recorded," the CDC alert said.The most common are overdoses from synthetic opioids such as illicitly manufactured fentanyl. But there's also an increase in deaths from drugs such as methamphetamine and cocaine, the CDC added.And the numbers look grim. "The 12-month count of synthetic opioid deaths increased 38.4% from the 12 months ending in June 2019 compared with the 12 months ending in May 2020," the CDC said.It noted a 98% increase in synthetic opioid deaths in 10 Western states, coinciding with greater availability of these drugs in that region. "After declining 4.1% from 2017 to 2018, the number of overdose deaths increased 18.2% from the 12 months ending in June 2019 to the 12 months ending in May 2020," it added.The agency says people should be educated about the risks of using drugs alone."These newly released provisional fatal overdose data, coupled with the known disruption to public health, health care, and social services as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and related mitigation measures, highlight the need for essential services to remain accessible for those most at risk of overdose and the need to expand prevention and response activities," the agency added.Recommendations also include expansion of the use of the overdose drug naloxone. Expanding locations in which overdose prevention education and take-home naloxone are provided, especially in rural areas is important, the CDC said.
