Police said between 5 am and 8 am this morning, several elderly people fainted at their homes or at care homes and subsequently died.

They included a 78-year-old woman who fainted in a care home on Welfare Road in Aberdeen, a 76-year-old woman who collapsed at her Sheung San Wai home in Sheung Shui, and another elderly woman who lost consciousness inside her home at Shin Kwan House of Fu Shin Estate.

There is something bizarre about the weather in the last few days and weeks. Sudden changes in temperature and humidity levels are all over the place. Seems quite unpredictable and I guess old folks will be more affected by the instability.

This is a new one.

Yeah I don't think I have seen them mention radiation cooling ...

New physics grad hired at HKO I assume.

I like it - clueless people won't notice, the rest of us should appreciate a concise explanation.
