Abstract: | The United States has long faced a lethal drug overdose epidemic, which is now colliding with the COVID-19 pandemic. Overdose rates significantly rose in 2020 compared with 2019, and people with opioid use disorder (OUD) have contracted COVID-19 and experienced significantly greater severity and mortality compared with the general population.1–4 These deaths are preventable and reflect misplaced policy priorities.
