from newspaper article
opioid related deaths - 2016 to 2020 - in Massachusetts - deaths
ranged from 2000 to 2100 annually - 2021 was an all time with 2390
deaths - (which is 6.5 deaths per day by my calculation)
2016 - natick formed a opioid task force - 2020 had 5 deaths - 2021
had 7 deaths - FD leaves Narcan at locations with abusers - if one
person ODs several times a Section 35 order can be filed in court
requiring the person to be treated for substance abuse
Massachusetts got $526 billion from 4 drug makers - maybe was $626
million - 40% will go to municipalities - 60% will go to state slush
fund - Natick got $89,000 this year
