...and yet the # of deaths is going up. Over 1,000 people! We are not talking about a disaster which might come, maybe, far in the future. The disaster is here, and its about to become a catastrophe!
But the Hajj cases seem more predictable and more manageable (if the will was there of course).
What I'm afraid of is an unpredictable heat wave that comes and hits much harder in a densely populated area
1,000 people died. These days, we are so numb to big numbers (Elon Must buys Twitter for $40 billion, and gets $56 billion stock from Tesla!) that it's easy to just gloss over that....
But if a hurricane hit New York, and 1,000 people died in time's Square, it would be declared a major disaster. 1,000 people dead means tens of thousands of people in sadness and mourning.
1 - people know it's hot already in regions like these, and they are prepared for the most part (even with things like giant parasols, etc)
2 - I'm much more worried about places where the wet bulb temperature will shoot above the acceptable suddenly. This might be more sudden and in less prepared areas.
