interesting article helping explain LA Covid:
1. Overcrowding rather than popn density is a significant cause of Covid spread
2. LA has the highest overcrowding in top 25 USA metropolitan areas- eg: 11% vs 6% in Bay Area or NYC ⁦@latimes⁩ https://t.co/uBWOJ3ZUeS

A novel synthetic opioid named brorphine, with effects similar to fentanyl, is the latest opioid drug to emerge on the illicit market. The CFSRE, in partnership with @NMS_Labs, highlighted a series of deaths associated with brorphine.

#Fentanyl is a synthetic #opioid that is 50-100 times more potent than morphine. In 2018, over 31,000 people died from an overdose involving synthetic opioids (those other than methadone). Learn more about this drug and its risks: https://t.co/mUQeGBdzXd

[Roger Crystal MD MBA @RogerCrystalMD]

@asxlongtail Totally agree. Probably the most important tweet of 2021.

[Roger Crystal MD MBA @RogerCrystalMD]

During these difficult times, the work @TimRabolt and @CollegeRecovery is doing to support student recovery is more essential than ever. Plse take time to read about and consider supporting their work.

Interesting- I’ve not considered a mask to be a way of delivering a low dose antigen, stimulating an immune response and therefore being a ‘crude vaccine’

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

More perspective on this @NYTScience, aka "crude vaccine"

Whether it’s smoked or vaped, #marijuana can affect the developing #teen brain, just like most other #drugs. Teens can get addicted and potentially experience withdrawal symptoms. Learn more from #NIDAteens: https://t.co/CqUUhXQLQt

[Roger Crystal MD MBA @RogerCrystalMD]

Requiring doctors prescribing opioids to co-prescribe naloxone is one way we can save lives as our opioid crisis worsens. Here, I share my thoughts
