Nine results were found with the keyword “stimulants”, “cocaine” or “crack”, five were comments or editorials (Four were unrelated). When looking for studies concerning addictions, we found fourteen articles, mostly editorial already reviewed. Stimulants (cocaine, crack) might increase the vulnerability to COVID-19 through cardio-vascular effects and greater inflammation of, and damage to, lung tissue (Marsden et al., 2020). Safe inhalations interventions seem required to limit the spreading fo the SARS-CoV2 among marginalized individuals who smoke crack cocaine (Harris, 2020). After lockdown, increase of use is likely, due to increased accessibility.
