This is from Le Monde (I translated it for another thread). It is from an op- ed piece on the heatwave in France:

Among the lasting solutions: air- conditioning in public services (hospitals, post offices, museums, etc.), in department stores and commercial areas, as well as the preparation of air- conditioned shelters to put at the disposal of fragile persons during heatwaves, because it is well- known that passing some hours of the day resting in an air- conditioned place can prevent heatstroke.

Gee, what an idea, air- conditioning in hospitals.......
