The pandemic has been associated with increasing rates of drug overdoses in the United States, with the New York Times relaying an overall increase of 29% in 2020 over the year prior.

While the available answers aren't as conclusive as one might like, it seems the upstream supply chain—the manufacturing part—hasn't seemed to waver for harm reduction centers.

Jon Stewart pushes coronavirus lab leak theory as first returning guest on 'Late Show with Stephen Colbert'

Jon Stewart used his time as the first post-COVID guest on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" to push the theory that the coronavirus came from a lab in Wuhan, China.

"I think we owe a great debt of gratitude to science because science has, in many ways, helped ease the suffering of this pandemic, which was more than likely caused by science," Stewart began. "There’s a chance this was created in a lab," a cautious Colbert responded.
