Da Fuq?!
The UK is a first-world nation, yet 48k Brits die from the cold? Doubt there were that many civilians who died annually during medieval times or even during WW2 when Germany was bombing them into the underground. This report does not pass the “smell test”. I call bu!!sh!t on this one.
Worst part of winter is not the cold temps (ahem) but the illness bugs that like to thrive in those conditions plus the additional stress it puts on the body. Used to like winter as a kid but now not so much.
