When the “Other” appears, do you know what it means?

Crazy that school shoutings (presumably???) are showing up as leading causes of death in the younger demographic…

Christ, the fentanyl!! Is anyone still denying it’s our biggest domestic crisis?

I wish I could conclude that the roads have gotten safer but we are currently close to par with traffic fatalities (in the US) now as we were in the early 2000s
Hm, the state of Maryland is reporting 1705 opioid deaths in that timeframe with only about 330 homicides via their respective departments. I find it hard to believe that just filtering 18-44 is that significant for the data, but I may be missing something

ive lost 5+ childhood friends to fent overdoses (all before they were 25yo). its horrible. im 30yo now, but back when i graduated high school and the few years after highschool it felt like i was hearing about OD deaths constantly. i still think about those friends to this day, it really fucked me up, specifically one of them who i grew up with.
i had my own personal addiction issues as well, thank god i was able to get the help i needed (6 years clean other than smoking weed which i still do).

To be honest, I feel the US culture as a whole. Especially around COVID, people’s moral compasses have gotten worst, but also, I feel people struggle to deal with hard times more. So they look for something to give them a high to escape (like drugs), or just want to escape (self-deletion)
(Also, going to say it, but I assume Homicide includes taking ones life with a firearm, which the numbers here then are super interesting)

Looking forward to the end of the goofy trend of shaping each state exactly the same.

So is it that cancer is killing fewer people, or that cardio vascular disease just gets them first?

Neat, but doesn’t offer a lot of useful information. Murder rates are down from 2001-2002, but because transportation became safer, homicide now appears as the leading cause among the under 18s in several states.Â
Did the same thing happen with cancer in the 45-64 group?

Yet another reason to be glad I don’t live in DC, yikes.
