Overdose deaths are up 40%, to 81,000 in 2020:

Suicides and homicides also up. Given that these deaths will occur for people with a typical age of 40, vs 80 for COVID, substantially more years of life have been lost from lockdown (which seems to have achieved little anyway), than from COVID.

And the last year with record overdose deaths was: 2019. And with the exception of 2018 every other year backwards from 2017 to 1999 was also a record drug overdose death year.

That is the opioid crisis.
