Straight from the horse's mouth.
There's been a recent uptick in overdose deaths because people are being forced to stay home due to COVID. Which is why we need to reopen everything, to stop people from overdosing on drugs.
Ladies and gentlemen, the leader of the free world.

You're wrong about that. Goddamn dude you are smarter than the stuff you post. Of course there is an uptick in overdose deaths because of the pandemic. People feel like they have no hope. People had their whole lives wiped out, quite literally. Family businesses were forced to close and go out of business for good. Parents are facing the thought of their kids growing up in isolation. Elderly people may never get to see their families ever again before they pass away. You have to be a total moron if you aren't even considering that the rise in overdoses and blatant suicides do not have anything to do with these shutdowns / lockdowns.
I'll guarantee you didn't spend 5 seconds of thought on this before automatically jumping to the conclusion - Trump said it, so its bad and wrong!

Just one of hundreds of articles written on the subject if you would spend more than 30 seconds forming an opinion and actually research something.
I trust Dr. Fauci. He has stated many times that the lockdowns were terrible for mental health and he has mentioned and referenced the increases in suicides, drug use, etc. They had no better way at the time! We have a better ability now to test and trace, over 23 medications that are helpful in fighting the virus, vaccines that are promising and may be here by January, and people slowly but surely learning new and safer habits. America will forever be changed by this. People are NEVER going to go back to normal. Schools will NEVER be normal again, or workplaces or houses of worship. We may lose sports all-together. But we will find a new way, as we always have.
I apologize if my rant seems personal to you, it is not personal, but as a person who lost my uncle to suicide, your post is extremely offensive to me, that you brush off the effect lockdowns had on mental health and drug use and overdoses just because Donald Fucking Trump said it, so you assume it has to be wrong. And for the record i am no Trump supporter.
