In addition, excessive alcohol consumption may lead to a weakened immune system, increasing a person's susceptibility to pneumonia (Sarkar, et al., 2015) , making this population particularly vulnerable to COVID-19. People who started using drugs as a way to help with their suffering caused by the changes imposed by the pandemic, as well as those who already used them or accessed substance abuse treatment services may be particularly at risk during the current COVID-19 pandemic.	./cache/cord-276423-8rwmrl0l.txt	./txt/cord-276423-8rwmrl0l.txt
