For a young/healthy person, sure. But these aren't generally the at risk people in the first place. I grew up around the 38N parallel, gross enough to get too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. Every winter people froze to death, just the same. It's not as bad as Phoenix percentage wise, but it's still a risk in the vast majority of places that people in the US live.

Of course people can and do die from cold, that was never my claim My Claim is providing people with emergency heat is FAR FAR FAR FAR easier and cheaper than providing people with emergency cooling. Do "at risk" people die in the north from the cold, absolutely but I am not sure how that means the cold is worse As it stands right now, just from my daily activities my waste heat in my home makes my home about 10-15 degrees above ambient. Meaning in the winter if my target temp is 65deg, it would have to be 50 degrees or colder outside before I would even think about running my heat. In the winter time that means my AC is working hard to not only combat the outside temp but the internal waste heat from computers, cooking, TV's, humans, etc.
