They present it in our media as if it was almost an epidemic. Many tourists missing, some found dead.

@CrazyMusicLover The media is claiming the deaths are related to the excessive heat. The statistics quoted for the USA in 2022 are that more people died from heat the all other natural disasters combines, including hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, volcanos, etc. You don't want to blame the victim, but why risk injury or death? Last year we were in Greece and one of the historic sites we were supposed to visit was closed because they feared tourists would collapse from the heat.

@samueltyler2 Maybe it's so talked about now because it's only June and many people probably didn't expect heatwaves to come that early. Instead of going to beaches, they probably planned hiking in nature and that became fatal to them. Now I actually wonder how common it is because now it's the first time I'm hearing about a high number of missing and dead tourists in such a short period of time.

@CrazyMusicLover we now live in an era of instant news. It was always happening in certain areas and times, but you are right, this is very early.
