Yes, I’m bitching about the heat again - but I truly do not understand why they are doing this, do they want their population to die? “Heat in Europe is causing massive excess mortality. In Europe, 31,800 more people have died since the first heat wave at the end of June than would be statistically expected. This is shown by figures from the European mortality monitoring system Euromomo, which includes 26 countries, as reported by the « NZZ am Sonntag “ writes. Most of the deceased are over 65 years old and come from France, Belgium or Germany.” In Switzerland, 357 additional deaths have been registered so far. These are preliminary figures. The number of deaths also remained elevated in the second week of July. Andreas Berger, CEO of the reinsurer Swiss Re, criticizes the inadequate crisis prevention: “The risk of heat waves and the associated deaths has been underestimated,” he told the “NZZ am Sonntag.” Such a prolonged heat wave is a new phenomenon. “We need to raise awareness of the dangers it poses.”” https://www.nzz.ch/wirtschaft/der-chef-von-swiss-re-kritisiert-das-risiko-einer-hitzewelle-wurde-unterschaetzt-ld.10018662 submitted by /u/CaughtALiteSneez
