Health officials are warning that a summer heat wave can be deadly,
especially for older people. The ability to regulate body temperature
worsens as you age and chronic health conditions can make heat-related
illness more likely. The elderly who don’t have air conditioning at home
should go to a senior center or a nearly public library or shopping
mall to keep cool. Source Link

restaurant workers say they’ve gone to work when they were sick. About
one-in-seven workers said their job is taking a toll on their
health. Source Link
