They speak a different language.
They don't have local ID cards.
So those people who...
unfortunately die in heat in those parts, their deaths are less likely, very less likely to be registered or put into a system.
They're being issued a death certificate.
So those deaths are just not in the system.
So that's the one systemic issue about deaths in general, death or any health reporting in general.
And secondly, not all deaths which happen during heat wave event are heat wave deaths.
So the cause of death on the death certificate, which should be a heat stroke or a sunstroke,
It's a very small fraction of the total number of excess deaths you would see during that event.
So the cause of death would be cardiorespiratory arrest, renal failure or something.
But I mean, the real failure is because of dehydration or cardiorespiratory arrest in the elderly is because they just can't live through that blistering, you know, 140 to 130 degree Fahrenheit summer afternoon.
Yes.
Having good numbers, of course, is essential and critical.
At the same time, we try to make do with what we have.
So, for example, it could be ambulance calls.
It could be certain conditions which are more likely to show up in summers and heat and account for that.
So, yeah, there are ways around that.
We could use novel methods, phone apps, that kind of stuff.
Humans are innovative and humans are resilient.
