Shock headline of the day: “Death toll rises to three in Chinese earthquake”. Like, big deal. I think they should have gone with “Death toll triples to three!” for full dramatic effect.
Compare and contrast with the frankly astounding slaughter in France, with the death toll due to the heat wave threatening to reach 5,000 people. Doesn’t sound that dangerous does it? Think again… the geriatric members of the garlic-munching nation are particularly susceptible to “persistent temperatures of 40°C and higher”. Mmprf.
