How cheap is pneumonia and a stay in the hospital ?

Gee I wish it were cold here, today is 41C and the next 2 days are to be 43C (110F)!

In the military it got you out of the winter camp. Which was nice. Having a very high fever wasn't that nice.

I wonder how the myriad of homeless people are doing in the UK and around Europe.

Freezing their whatsits off of course.

Whilst you Northern Hemisphere ice cubes have had your brass monkeys balls being frozen off, Down Under we have been sweltering. 40C yesterday in Sydney and last night at 23:00 it was still 30C! Woke up just now and it's back to 33C already and it's only 07:30! I understand it was hotter in Adelaide and Melbourne yesterday as well!

Yes and it's amazing how the various governments bury their heads saying "Global warming - bah, humbug!"

I wonder how many have died.
Not a good situation.

Back to the original post of this thread, I talked to a guy today in passing about the "boom" and he said it sounds like a very common situation he gets when part of the aluminum vent duct expands when air is pumped into it.

He said the fix is simply to wedge something against the vent.

All the homeless charities and Social Services will be extra vigilent during this cols snap I should imagine.

The only problem being, they will not have the authority to take someone to a place of warmth/safety if they refuse to be helped.

They opened a temporary shelter here to handle the overflow from the regular shelter.

But yea if they dont want to come in you can not make them.

Then theres the 'repeat offenders' who committ petty crimes to land in jail for 30 days to escape the cold.
