I mean, in one week alone this summer, we had 20 heroin deaths in the city of Milwaukee. One week. But this is not just a city problem. This is a statewide 72 county problem. Oh, absolutely. There was a period of time, and I don't know if it's still true now, where Marinette county, very, very rural county, was per capita leading the state in overdose deaths. What is causing the explosion of this? Is it. Is it illicit activity that's causing this? Is it just the fact that prescription painkillers are so widely prescribed? (06:21–06:31)
