At a meeting last week held to address the staggering number of fentanyl deaths in Marin County, it was revealed that of 65 fatal overdoses here last year, 57% involved fentanyl.
The Independent Journal reported that at the meeting Dr. Matt Willis, the county’s public health officer, said Marin needs a community-wide response to fentanyl poisonings, much as the community reacted to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“If you were younger than 60, you had a 10 times greater chance of dying from a drug overdose in 2021 than from COVID-19,” Willis told the group.
