Now 6 opioid deaths per day in Massachusetts

https://www.mass.gov/files/documents/2019/05/15/Opioid-related-Overdose-Deaths-among-MA-Residents-May-2019.pdf

6 deaths per day - nearly 200 per month - like a school massacre EVERY
SINGLE DAY OF THE MONTH

yet - no news coverage

for 2018 - https://www.mass.gov/files/documents/2019/05/15/Opioid-related-Overdose-Deaths-Demographics-May-2019.pdf
- 72% male - 80% white - 12% Hispanic - 4% black - 1% Asian

Mass is 8% black - per
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massachusetts#Race_and_ancestry -
interesting - Hispanics are 11% - Asians are 6% - 83% White

2018 - only 1 opioid death under age 15 - I suppose that is something
to be thankful for

2018 - most opioid deaths from age 25 to age 54
