In 2013 motor vehicle crashes and firearm-related injuries both trended upwards, and seemed to track each other; in 2019 firearm-related injuries and drug overdoses both increased sharply. Something happened in those two years. I wonder what.

The pandemic changed a lot of things, more and more people purchased guns for protection, and fentanyl drug abuse is a massive issue right now and has been for years.

I'm sure we'll see a upward trend in 'accidents in the workplace' with all the regulations on child work age being lowered.

Starting around 2019 there was a huge increase in accidental fentanyl poisonings due to Mexican drug cartels manufacturing counterfeit prescription opioid pills. https://peterattiamd.com/anthonyhipolito/ https://peterattiamd.com/anthonyhipolito/
