You have to watch these 'shock horror' stats- there were similar in Paris during a heatwave a few years back and it wasn't quite what it appeared.

Really? :o

Yup!

Most of the people who were supposed to have died as a result of the heatwave were elderly people who were sick and dying and would have died with or without a heatwave.

You have to watch this 'gee whizz' stuff like a hawk!

I guess you could say, in those cases, it didn't help any. :o
