It does for a billion+ people who cannot afford aircon and use ceiling fans.
- nottorp 3y agoI don't think it "works". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Asia_heat_wave https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Asia_heat_wave ~200 deaths and ~450 hospitalizations is "works"?
- throwaway40470 3y agoWhy are you assuming those hospitalizations and deaths happened indoor and inside homes where ceiling fans are installed?
- switch007 3y agoThe article details closed schools etc. Presumably many of the places closed also had ceiling fans and therefore deemed insufficient to counteract the health crisis
- richrichie 3y agoThe wikipedia entry talks of widespread power outage. This seems to be common in these parts of the world during summer. Can’t blame ceiling fans if you cannot turn them on.
