I just learned that James "The Amazing" Randi has died. For those that don;'t know the name - Randi spent his whole life debunking supernatural claims and even, for a time, ran a Million Dollar challenge to people that could demonstrate their "supernatural" powers. Needless to say, the Million Dollars war perfectly safe. I encourage members to Google him on YouTube as he debunks all kinds of "woo". RIP Randi. The skeptical world will miss you.

Sad and strange because a few days ago I had a strong impulse to go through my collection of old Skeptic magazines (where Randi once had a monthly column) and I started speculating on how he would view all the claims and counterclaims about COVID-19.
