When humidity reaches as high as 90%, even 25.6 deg C may be hazardous to older adults. This is indeed bad news for seniors in S'pore where temperatures are routinely over 30 deg C and humidity levels are usually past 80%.

The ideal temperature for seniors to have restful sleep is 20 - 25 deg C. The quality of sleep declines as temperatures rise so those without a/c at home will suffer health conditions from a lack of restful deep sleep.

Regardless of whether we support or criticise the Pappies, we are One People. Don't let the govt divide and rule us by amplifying our differences through the CIMO classification.

Not only heatwaves is deadly for older adults. In fact everything in excess is dangerous for old people like strong wind  heavy rain, very cold water, excessively cold aircon  etc. Even walk too fast is deadly.      Big Grin

Not walking at all is deadlier i.e. no exercise.

That is simplistic, but untrue. Wealthier S'poreans also resent the Govt for causing them to pay more for their landed homes, condos, cars as well as both direct and indirect taxation. That is why Holland-Bukit Timah has been carved up as part of the ruling party's gerrymandering to spread more of the anti-MIW out to Tanjong Pagar and Jurong GRC as well.

The only guarantee from exercising is that our body will be in a far greater shape when we pass away.

My friend decided to get back in shape by hitting the gym and was hooked to working out in no time. He suffered a cardiac arrest recently. Stay away from HIIT or risk getting HIT by a heart attack. RIP my dear buddy.

It appears that hardly anybody dies from the Covid-19 vaccination. Either climate change, underlying conditions, genes, too much unhealthy food, or excessive exercise is to blame.
