Japan has the highest temperature, Tokyo is suspected to have 123 people died of heat stroke, the elderly must not turn on the air conditioner

Reflections and admonitions in the hot summer

The heat is unbearable, and the summer is steaming

In the scorching summer, the temperature continues to rise, and many cities suffer from high temperatures of 40 degrees Celsius. For many people, this has become the "norm". The broad masses of people, especially the middle-aged and elderly, are suffering.

Tokyo is in the grip of a "heat wave".

The situation in Tokyo, Japan, highlights this problem even more. According to the news, in the past July, 123 people in Tokyo died of suspected heat stroke. What is even more shocking is that more than 100 of them died indoors. This is undoubtedly a wake-up call – for city dwellers, it is more likely to suffer from heat stroke at home.

The special predicament of middle-aged and elderly groups

The reason for this is that many middle-aged and elderly people have an obvious "stubbornness". They generally have the stubborn notion that they are reluctant to turn on the air conditioner. "Turning on the air conditioner 24 hours a day is too wasteful of electricity", this idea is deeply ingrained. As a result, elderly people who are alone at home during the day often choose to endure the heat and turn off the air conditioner. Wait until the children come back in the evening before turning on the air conditioner.

This undoubtedly greatly increases their risk of heat stroke. Especially considering that the outdoor temperature in many cities has reached 40 degrees Celsius, even indoors, if the air conditioning is not turned on, the temperature will be very high, which can easily cause heat stroke or even heat stroke.

This is well documented in a number of cases. For example, an elderly man was reluctant to turn on the air conditioner at home, and as a result, he fainted directly to the ground, and when he was sent to the hospital, he had suffered severe heat stroke and was scalded by the high temperature on the ground. It can be seen that for the middle-aged and elderly groups, if the air conditioning is not turned on in the hot summer, the consequences are unimaginable.

Admonition and appeal

We sincerely appeal to the majority of middle-aged and elderly friends, especially the elderly who live alone, in such a hot summer, must be willing to turn on the air conditioner and create a relatively comfortable environment for themselves. Nowadays, air conditioning technology is becoming more and more energy-saving and environmentally friendly, and 24-hour use will not cause too much burden on electricity bills. In contrast, heat stroke hospitalization or low-temperature burns can undoubtedly place a heavy burden on families and the healthcare system.

We must pay enough attention to the living conditions of these middle-aged and elderly groups, especially those who live alone. Only when everyone works together to care for them and keep them away from the trouble of the summer "heat wave", can they survive the scorching heat and spend this hot summer safely and healthily. Let's create a comfortable living environment for the elderly together!

The hidden dangers of the aging society need to be solved

However, the increasing number of elderly people living alone on the mainland has undoubtedly exacerbated the problem. Many children work away from home, making it difficult for them to go home to take care of their parents, and the elderly who live alone are more likely to suffer from the heat. Once there is heat stroke, but no one finds and rescues it in time, the consequences are unimaginable.

We should be vigilant and pay attention to the living conditions of these elderly people who live alone. They can be encouraged to install smart monitoring devices and notify their children or community workers as soon as they become unwell. At the same time, community workers should also take the initiative to visit their homes to understand the lives of the elderly living alone and help them take measures to prevent heatstroke and cool down.

In addition, the government should also introduce better policies to support the elderly to enjoy preferential electricity tariffs, so that they can turn on the air conditioning without any worries. After all, for this huge group of middle-aged and elderly people, heatstroke prevention and cooling is not only related to personal health, but also related to the stability of the whole society.

Let's work together to create a comfortable and safe summer living environment for the elderly, so that they can truly feel the warmth and care of society. Only in this way can we prevent similar tragedies from happening again in the country and allow the elderly to enjoy a healthy summer.
