yeah, I should use this Milwaukee age distribution instead, suggests white users (most opioid od) average late 20s.pic.twitter.com/Ni4qKsXcAg

Eyeballing that, looks like mode is early 30s but average is still in the 40s.
-
do you have ideas for a source for a national distribution? I agree it's a weak part of the post.
-
I don't, I'd go to CDC first but I dunno if their web data digs that deep. I'm just an amateur.
-
Question I'm really interested in is whether reporting policy changed formally or otherwise--opioid deaths usually polydrug.
-
So it's plausible to me that the entire trend could be an artifact of "alcohol" or "benzo" fatalities becoming "opioid"
-
an interesting question. Tho alcohol deaths have been shooting up too!
-
Now THAT is interesting.
