Elderly people and the hot weatherBy Tsai Jr-keng 蔡志鏗Taiwan seen from space is shaped like a sweet potato, and it has been well and truly baked in the past few weeks. Have government agencies thought about how to help these lonesome people handle the baking hot weather? The elderly people tell her the weather is unbearably hot. Agencies could send a vehicle to take the elderly person somewhere that has air-conditioning, a service that daycare workers provide. This assistance would help elderly people living alone to get through the challenge of extreme weather.
