THE SKEPTIC ARENA

Rationalists are those, whose thinking is strictly guided by the laws of logic.
Rationalists only accept as true, that which has been proven to be true,

Global Warming is speeding up worldwide:

Worst coral reef bleaching event ever

Between atomic weapons, global warming, and a worldwide pandemic
hope for humanity's survival grows dimmer by the hour.
Scientists recently moved the Doomsday Clock
from 2 minutes to Midnight up to 100 seconds to midnight.
Personally, I think they are being a little too optimistic.

Covid-19 tears up the whole body; not just the lungs.

Here's a report linking Covid to increased risk of stroke death

This isn't like a cold or a flu where you return to normal in a couple of weeks.
If the alarmingly high kill-rate doesn't get you (13% in the U.S.)
(by comparison, yearly influenza mortality runs about 0.1%),
surviving it may come with lots of nasty, long-lasting reminders of what you went through.
