It's irrelevant to every other sentence in the article. The article is not about Covid-19 at all. The article is about a three year trend in drug overdoses. Covid-19 is not mentioned anywhere else: just a half-sentence insinuation that it is relevant, one that couldn't be evidenced - not even with one quote from any single medical professional (if it could be, it would be). Why is Covid-19 in the headline? Only so that exactly this happens. That's the clickbait; you fell for it.
