IN the NEWS - Man Made "Zombie Apocalypse"?

I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: 
I am like a broken vessel.
Psalm 33:12 

"Shock and concern are caused by the images that show men and women staggering on the streets of Kensington, in the United States, due to excessive drug use.

Dozens of consumers and addicts walk the streets of a well-known Philadelphia neighborhood in terrible physical and mental condition  due to the large amount of opioids they consume.
This is the Kensington neighborhood, which in 2017 was listed by the BBC as the “Outdoor Drug Camp”, where drugs such as fentanyl and heroin are quite popular.
Local authorities have been questioned for their lack of action amid the terrible situation, but they only say the situation is out of their control.
As they point out, people can buy drugs anywhere in the town, since most of the residents, if not addicts, are clandestine sellers. 
“We not only have people from other parts of the state, we have people from other parts of the country who come here to buy drugs. Unfortunately, a heroin tourism industry has been sparked, ” according to Patrick Trainor, special agent for the US Drug Enforcement Administration.
 
Alejo Schapire, a journalist for Radio France International, also
shared on his Twitter account a video of a similar area in his country, registered in Paris.
It is the Stalingrad station, which is called “StalinCrack”, for narcotics issues, coming to be compared to Kensington, but as a European version." Bibliatodo
