Proud to volunteer today and give Covid vaccines here in LA County. @Opiant_Pharma @TheForum
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 latimes.com/california/story…

#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: go.usa.gov/x7K3t
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.

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

Very interesting case demonstrating potential cardiac manifestations of COvID-19
A 44-year-old woman with #SARSCoV2 related severe cardiomyopathy and cardiogenic shock is presented in- depth @NEJM today. Instructive for differential diagnosis and the outstanding management she received that led to a very favorable outcome nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…
True leadership
Wow. I didn’t know what to expect. But this is one of the most powerful speeches I’ve seen from a politician in a long time. This is Atlanta mayor @KeishaBottoms. Please give it a listen and share:
On behalf of @Opiant_Pharma, thank you to all EMS personnel this #NationalEMSWeek who carry and administer NARCAN® nasal spray. Their work as #frontlineheroes to combat the #Opioid crisis is undoubtedly saving lives from opioid overdose. #EMSStrong
