Seems like M. Chirac of France is on a two-week holiday in Quebec and refused to go back to france to face the music. Now up to about 10K deaths. So much for welfare medicine.>> "Half the victims are believed to have died in old people's homes, many operating with fewer staff during the August holidays. Many hospitals had closed complete wards for the month and were unable to offer sophisticated, or sometimes even basic, treatment to victims. About 2,000 people are thought to have died in their homes from the effects of dehydration and other heat- related problems while neighbours and relatives were away." news.independent.co.uk
