“False information about the pandemic is rampant, but seasoned defenders of climate science can offer tips for how to fight it.”
Note: In my county there are 1.2 million people. The number of confirmed Covid cases stands at 45,070 as of today (12-19-20). I calculate that to be 3.8% (.038) of the population. Considering the stats on asymptomatic, mild and under reported cases, I estimate that the actual case count to be as high as three-to-five times that, which could be almost a one-in-five ratio. Though a person doesn’t remain contagious forever, I hardly find that reassuring when I see restaurant parking lots full like I did last night when I went for curbside pick up. I’d worried that curbside spaces might be full, but there were only two other people like me there. And this, despite the fact that my county just went to stage 5 because of the post-Thanksgiving Covid jump in numbers.
This and other observable behaviors gives me great pause when I consider the odds of our mitigating global warming.
