Also, that our recent month of JULY has had the highest recorded temperatures.....EVER, that led me to SUSPECT that hospitals were overcrowded with heat-related problems.
I seriously doubt the statement that RECENTLY there have been fewer HEAT strokes nationwide, but I WILL try to google that question. Thank you.
Logically, it seems strange that with a greater population in the US due to recent unchecked immigration that the TOTAL number of heat strokes would NOT rise. Maybe we are talking strokes per hundred persons or something like that. But, even so the US has more recent home foreclosures due to interest rate increases - so more people are out on the street homeless. And July is a record temperature month plus more moisture in the atmosphere so the "feels like" temp will be up. So, I don't see how logically heat strokes could possibly GO DOWN !

Heat-related illnesses are on the rise - Harvard Health.

I did find this.
