To put this in perspective, 173 people died from COVID-19, which is identified as the primary public health crisis in the Bay Area. San Francisco enables dug users with free needles, ignores massive dealing, The city has become a pusher, pushing people over the edge. People shooting up all over town. Heroin and fentanyl. Over 600 overdose deaths in 2020, with 170 from covid. This will end only when San Francisco starts prosecuting drug sales. Chesa Boudin, child of 1960s Weathermen, is district attorney. Opioids depress the respiratory system. Governor Newsom began his career in SF. He hasn't said one word about this pandemic, about the human misery.
