Actually, overdose rates are up 700% in Grants Pass, population ~39K, based on a statement by Rep. Lily Morgan, a Republican from Grants Pass:

“Director, you’ve mentioned a couple of times that you’re waiting to see, and yet we have overdoses increasing at drastic rates, in my community a 700% increase in overdoses and a 120% increase in deaths,” Morgan told Allen.​

Summary of Findings:​

​

Mortality data for 2021 are not yet complete, as a result numbers for recent months may change. Unintentional opioid overdose deaths in 2021 are higher than the corresponding months of 2020 and 2019. Totals by year are as follows:​

​

2019 unintentional opioid overdose deaths total 280.​

2020 unintentional opioid overdose deaths currently total 472.​

DHHR distributed record numbers of naloxone to high risk individuals, continued the expansion of treatment and recovery services, licensed new syringe service programs, built a network of ODCP Regional Coordinators in the hardest hit counties, launched new stigma campaigns, and continued to move the treatment system towards quality outcomes.​

It used to be easy to refer to the retarded policies of leftists as being the policies of retarded leftists. But at this point I think it's obvious that this is intentional. They WANT to destroy lives. They WANT to collapse our society.
