A comment on Heat Wave to Hit Two-Thirds of the U.S. Here’s What to Expect. Parent comment
A few years ago, in France, over 50,000 people died due to heat stroke and other extreme heat factors.
In the US, many places have this thing called "air conditioning". In France, and much of continental Europe, that's pretty rare.
Heck, in many of the poorer places over there, they don't even have fans.
