Isabella Poscente- Overdose Cases spike in Louisville

Isabella Poscente- Overdose Cases spike in Louisville

Summary:
A shocking amount of people have died from overdoses in Louisville, Kentucky. There were 52 calls in 32 hours. Most of the overdoses were heroin, but some were alcohol and prescription drugs as well. It’s crazy that this many overdoses happened in only that short of time in one city. Some overdose clusters pop up in different spots and authorities aren’t sure why.

Analysis/Synthesis:
It is freaky that this many overdoses happened in only 32 hours. It makes you think what was happening during that time. The 32 hours were from 12 am on Wednesday to 8 am on Friday, which are weekdays so it is kind of strange (you would think it would be during the weekend).
