I was intrigued by this statement, and, while it is true for San Francisco in particular, it is (despite rapid increases in recent years) unlikely to be even true for the US as a whole, let alone for other developed country. In fact, in the US alone, more people died of COVID-19 this year than died in the entire world of overdoses in 2017: https://ourworldindata.org/drug-use#deaths-from-substance-use-disorders https://ourworldindata.org/drug-use#deaths-from-substance-us... Switzerland, for instance, is on track for 3000+ COVID-19 deaths and is unlikely to exceed 150 overdose deaths.
