U.S. Coast Guard Seizes $1B Worth Of Narcotics

[PBramble]

You are probably referring to my post of 1person every 5 seconds dies.

That was taken from the OP article.
I found it was not fact.
But your math is wrong if you came up with .
6307200 deaths a year. doing the seconds a year thing.

There are only 12 5 second intervals in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour and 24 hours in a day and 365 days a year.
So 12 X 24 X 365=105,984

I did it wrong the first time also and came up with a ridiculous number.

Yeah, you seem to have forgot a step.

Yeah, you seem to have forgot a step.

Yep I sure as heck did.
And I did it 3 times. New name Dufus

Yep that many deaths in a year from drugs or anything would be ridiculous.
The original quote taken from post 1.

This comes as the United States loses one person every five seconds due to drug abuse. Dr. Gupta is confident the narcotics seized will be disposed of and not make it into communities.
