in anne arundel county in 2013, there were 360 opioid overdoses, fatal and nonfatal. 49 of those were fatal. the problem is getting worse. om 2001 to 2013, there was a five-fold increase in the total number of deaths from heroin. this is an epidemic but it is an epidemic that we can begin to stem if we take action. naloxone is a drug that safely and effectively reverses both opioid and heroin induced overdoses if administered in time. it's been used by nonmedical personnel with minute mull training for over 15 years and has reduced mortality by over 50%. more people need access to this life-saving medication. one part of that proactive approach is the idea of co-prescribing naloxone to patients or their caregivers who are taking opioids and are at high risk of overdose. the co-prescribing to reduce overdoses act would create a demonstration project to encourage co-prescribing of naloxone and other opioid reversal drugs. this bill has been enduresed by the a.m.a., the american society of addiction medicine, he harm reduction coalition. we have five republican co-sponsors, i am pleased

anne arundel county, the home of the state capital headed by a republican county executive, is acting. this local county is already distributing its own prevention kits. it's not only the state capital, it's the home of the naval academy. everybody's acting on their own. and in baltimore city, our mayor is acting, working with the bloomberg school of public health. we're spending local money on mosquito control. they need help. they need help from their own government to deal with the issues south of the border as they come up here, and they need help in our own community to be able to fund the basic public health measures that we know are tried and that we know are true to be able to do that. i really encourage us to really be able to do this and to do it not by raiding other programs. i absolutely oppose taking money from the prevention and public health fund to pay for zika. the prevention fund provides resources to fight against other public health problems. we can't prepare for and protect against zika by taking funds from other public health activities. we don't know what the su

had in this round table discussion, we had the public health officers from baltimore city, from anne arundel county, from howard county, from frederick county. we had experts in dealing with mosquito control. we had experts who were dealing with the development of vaccines and treatments, and we had a robust discussion as to what can be done. first and foremost, madam president, there was strong understanding that public awareness is going to be critically important to dealing with the zika virus. the public needs to know. if you are pregnant or intend to start a family, you need to know the risk factors. now, it would be nice if you could have a test done to know whether you had the zika virus or not. but here's the problem: the current state of development for the tests have produced two tests that the f.d.a. has made available on an emergency basis. one looks at the person's immune system that shows certain signs if that person has the zika virus. as i said before, i.t. not clear whether -- i.t. not clear whether -- it's not clear whether l you'll have any symptoms even though you have th
