I sat this AM....reading a short report....from the UK Health Security Agency, UKHSA.
The PhD guys for them....said after analysis of 2025's summer....there were an estimated 1,504 heat-deaths in England last summer.
Basically....'heat-associated deaths'.
Wanda and Carl....lingering out in the sun for six-odd hours...forgot to sip water, or wore the wrong clothing...got dehydrated....then slipped off to die.
I lived for four years in Arizona, and basically understand the concept of 'being-stupid'.
What I might ask....did the PhD guys read or collect the death certificates, and did the 'authority' say heat-stress or dehydration, and I'm guessing in most of the 1,504 cases....the answer is no.
I'm also guessing (the story never told a complete data situation).....that ages weren't associated with the 1,504 folks. In the Arizona environment....where the heat-stress was a issue...in most cases, it was folks over the age of fifty.
The got-stupid syndrome? Well....what I noticed in Arizona when the topic came up....folks usually got dehydrated fairly easy, and never seemed willing to recognize the signs. If they did seek liquids...in the bad cases...they sought beer or coffee.
