I'm not old enough to remember when AIDS first hit, but Fentanyl seems like this generation's version of that, in a way.

Thanks for the stats link. Someone said it's a lifestyle choice but I suspect that a number of these fentanyl deaths are people who were not living the lifestyle one would associate with a drug overdose death - one poor decision at a bar or party or whatever does not equate to a certain lifestyle.
