"...But at a campaign rally for presumptive Republican presidential nominee" <redacted> "in Phoenix, 11 people fell ill from heat exhaustion by late afternoon and were taken to the hospital, where they were treated and released, fire officials said."
"...researchers modeled the health consequences for residents in a two-day, citywide blackout during a heat wave, with electricity gradually restored over the next three days.
The results were shocking: in Phoenix, about 800,000 people — roughly half the population — would need emergency medical treatment for heat stroke and other illnesses. The flood of people seeking care would overwhelm the city’s hospitals. More than 13,000 people would die." #heatwave#disasters#climateemergency#ac#power#heatstroke
"Doctors treated hundreds of victims of #heatstroke at hospitals across #Pakistan on Thursday after an intense #heatwave sent temperatures above normal levels due to climate change, officials said.
This month, temperatures are likely to soar to 55 C (131 F), weather forecasters said."
As usual, the #Philippines could have done this, but because the government and its agencies are managed by old people, they still think like it's the 1940s. /facepalm
Do these cooler type things work at all? I have to survive another upcoming #heatwave and can’t regulate my body temperature (#dysautonomia) so am risking #heatstroke again. I’m still recovering from last week so do not want.
Just humidity machines? (Humidity makes thinks even worse).

(Sorry if this dodgy link braining not good.)
Have no air conditioning & abuser will not allow me to have one.
Any ideas? A fan doesn’t cut it. A fan with ice pack doesn’t work. Think I‘ve tried everything but welcome to ideas.
Yes I still need somewhere else to to live but in meantime trying to survive.
