I wonder about the opioid crisis and if the supply of illegal drugs is drying up-opinions?

I goggled this subject and read a little about it. With the borders closed, it seemed to me that the supply lines would eventually close up and dealers would be out of supply. What I read indicates that I am correct. So what now?

Seems to me there are going to be even more deaths-death from withdrawal. Perhaps deaths from violence as certain individual seek money for their next fix, and deaths because the next fix is not available. I also read, because homeless, the opioid crisis, and the virus go hand in hand in certain populations the death toll will go up.

I doubt the current death toll is accurate. Many of the deaths of the homeless and addicted population will not be found till later. There is already a history supporting this. What about the children of these parents? How will they be found?

Opinions?
 

It looks we might see an increase in home lab fires and explosions. Or other medications stolen for sale and junky use. The alcoholics have it best because even a few states declared it an essential. In the meantime people stuck with them are in for a world of misery.
 
The cartels always seem to adapt when it comes to smuggling so my guess they will eventually find a way to get the chemicals they need. Maybe it will be become a la carte smuggling of the individual ingredients. I don't know if that would be easier or harder. The article mentions it will be easier to ship stuff with so much being delivered which would make detection a little harder.

I guess the price of sudafed pills just went up.
