For some reason they seem allergic to AC - see the rest of this thread.
COST. People don’t have the money to spend installing aircon to save themselves from a couple of weeks of discomfort per year.
At the point there is a noticeable mortality spike, it’s not just a few weeks of discomfort eh?
Still doesn’t solve the cost factor. If you don’t have the money you don’t have the money. And if you barely have the money you’re probably going to take the risk because the risk is still very low.
