As many as 75,000 Americans could die because of drug or alcohol misuse and suicide as a result of the CCP virus pandemic, according to an analysis conducted by the national public health group Well Being Trust.

The group is sounding the alarm that the growing unemployment crisis, economic downturns, and stress caused by isolation and lack of a definitive end date for the pandemic could significantly increase so-called “deaths of despair” unless local, state, and federal authorities take action.
