Lockdowns are not cost free.

Still no word on what the cT values are for these COVID-19 test results. If they are still using inflated cT values to make policy decisions, then the blame for these deaths rests with the our government.

Also note where the source of much of the fentanyl is.

According to the DEA, the fetanyl flow originates in China & then it is trafficked.

I am not a Santa Clara resident, but I have friends that live there. You think your guys have a problem more than 450 deaths in August alone in San Francisco. Post something about your worries when it reaches over 400 in one month. I bet some of those overdose deaths were not even Santa Clara County residents, I guarantee that a good amount of them were homeless from San Francisco out there to sell from your shops.

I will include a link to the story I am referring to.

A major SF politician seeks to legalize an array of drugs...small quantities. I strongly oppose this. I gather Oregon is ok with this unnecessary risk.
Ok, suppose you are liberal or libertarian...do realize:
Driving while on drugs will lead to deaths of innocent people.
Meanwhile, please don’t choose to do drugs - nothing good can come of it.
Help others to make better choices.
Look at San Francisco!
What a failure of politicians and their costly coddling of drug addicted on the streets!
Another tech leader has had enough and is moving to Florida.
Let’s keep Santa Clara County/Silicon Valley a productive, happy place.

^ Legalized marijuana is one thing as no one dies from it. The legalization of highly addictive, powerful & illicit pharmaceuticals is another matter.

Allowing homeless heroin, fentanyl & methamphetamine addicts to roam freely will in turn pose further problems for law enforcement & could potentially lead to more police shootings & killings where suspect coherency is in question.

^ A bad idea...perhaps best to round up all of the homeless addicts & place them in state run rehab facilities & asylums under adult conservatorships.

The most challenging problem is cutting off the flow of fentanyl & opium derived drugs as China, Afghanistan & Mexico are fully vested in the trafficking.

And as far as domestic meth labs are concerned, they tend to proliferate in rural counties so there's an obvious place to start/maintain the eradication process...they also pose a major fire hazard.

'Breaking Bad' in the USA essentially amounts to rounding up the addicts & destroying the drug sources.

Please do not ingest pills bought from criminals. You cannot possibly know what is in them. There are public safety reasons why our government controls certain pharmaceuticals. Take what a doctor prescribes only, and do that with care. Buy only from a pharmacist, and be very careful about taking ONLY what you really need. While I understand that some doctors and pharmaceutical companies have actied criminally in this matter, we all need to take care of ourselves and that requires being educated, thoughtful, careful patients.

The danger of these drugs is terrible. Your lives matter to us all.
