I don't know what's true and what's not in this article. The numbers keep multipying daily so can we trust the French that the deaths are all from the heat? How many elderly die in France every month? Are the French such scum as not to check on their elderly relatives? Are the nursing homes and hospitals so bad they lock the doors or ignore thousands of patients? I'll give him that probably 80 of all deaths are of elderly and over 75, and that many people (especially the elderly) die in nursing homes and hospitals. But I don't buy it all.

Hey, wrap up in a wet towel and lounge in front of an opened fridge or is that too close to bathing?

I live in La Quinta CA next to Palm Springs.

You know what the elderly do here when it it hits 100?

They play gold before noon and drink fewer martinis to reduce their dehydration!

And when it hits 118 they stay inside and drink at the cafes and country clubs.

But that the diff between a capitalist nation with great health care and a soicliaist nation with very poor health care.
