California y las muertes por sobredosis

Share

La ciudad de San Francisco, en California (EE.UU.), ha registrado su cifra más alta de muertes por sobredosis accidentales, que han aumentado un 41 % en el primer trimestre de este año, lo que equivale a un deceso cada 10 horas. El dato se conoce en un momento en que la crisis del fentanilo azota la costa oeste del país norteamericano.

Según un informe de la Oficina del Médico Forense Jefe, 200 personas murieron entre enero y marzo en San Francisco, en comparación con las 142 reportadas en el mismo periodo en 2022.

El aumento de las muertes quedó de relieve en enero, cuando la ciudad alcanzó su cota más alta de sobredosis letales durante el periodo registrado, con 82 casos.

El repunte tiene lugar después de que el Gobierno de la ciudad cerrara un centro en el que los usuarios consumían drogas con supervisión médica, y mientras se intensifica la vigilancia policial en el distrito de Tenderloin.

    Conociendo, las ciudades que nombran son bellísimas o quizás lo eran pero el consumo de drogas está destruyendo todo a su paso. De seguir en aumento no quedará nada de una superpotencia como EEUU a la que todos alguna vez admiramos y por supuesto tratamos de imitar. Muy lamentable. Los grandes enemigos, mas allá de Corea del norte, Rusia, o China, lo tienen fronteras adentro y está a la vista de todos. Mudarse de ciudad no soluciona el problema, es cuestión de tiempo para que este llegue hasta el último rincón del país. Atentamente CLAUDIO KUSSMAN

    Un espanto

  1. North Philadelphia, Kensington, is very similar. Probably worse actually. It is sad and sickening but it’s nice that people care and even the cops seem to genuinely want to get these people clean and off the streets instead of just arrested and in prison.

      Yeah, Kensigton is Zombieland

  2. I was born and raised around San Francisco my whole life. I’m 27, and am planning on leaving the Bay Area now. I do love my county, but the amount of crime, drug paraphernalia, filth and living expenses don’t make it worth it anymore. It’s gotten so bad that it’s started leaking into nearby cities throughout the Bay. The issue has only been exacerbated further and further, and yet nothing is done about it. Funding to help alleviate the homeless goes down every year, and many of just regular natives of the city of San Fransico need food banks just to survive due to high economic costs. It’s a shame really.

    One of the biggest problems i see in US with drugs is people don’t see them as bad until they reach this point where you are on the street completely lost, most social events will have them in some form or another and disregarding their dangers because it’s only “once in a while” vs most other countries they are simply bad period.

  3. I moved out of San Francisco in 2018, the primary reason being the out-of-control drug problem in the city. I’ve never seen anything like it, and the things I saw thoroughly traumatized me. Such a beautiful city with such a disheartening outlook. The highest taxes in the country can’t outspend the epidemic and I pray for the people suffering.

    1. My wife and I moved from San Francisco to Vermont 10 years ago. At that time, the homelessness and drug crisis was just beginning to kick into gear. Usually, it takes a generation or so for a city to decay as much as San Francisco has in the last 10 years. The City has spent billions of dollars and tried just about everything to clean up SF. It’s only getting worse.

        I’m moving back to my hometown of San Diego after living in SF past 11 years. I want to have a family eventually and I could never see myself raising kids around the drugs and multiple issues going on in this city. It’s soo sad because it’s a beautiful city. It is true that crime here is rampant.
