If your national weather service (Met Office in the UK), advised of severe temperatures that could kill the elderly and vulnerable, would you dismiss it as scaremongering or take precautions?
Yeah if I cared about living I would definitely take precautions - we just had an ex-NFL player, 38, drop dead from heatstroke in his apartment last month, he kept his apartment hot to work out in, but that's what happens when you don't take that shit seriously
