TL;DR: The Times tries to sell a narrative, but when you look at their sources, you find that:<p>1) They give no data specific to Dayton; they take countywide data and attribute all the &quot;positives&quot; to Dayton;<p>2) The data is utterly wrong. They simultaneously claim that there were 566 overdose deaths in 2016 <i>in Montgomery County alone</i>, but their other source for Ohio as a whole says that 2016 had only 564 overdose deaths in 2016 <i>in the entire state of Ohio</i>.<p>Something literally doesn&#x27;t add up.
