The COVID_19 pandemic is a natural consequence of overpopulation; a portend of the future if population growth is not reversed.
In the world of living organisms, life is able to subsist on other living organisms; the result of Darwinian Selection! Human Society is no exception; an organization, with few exceptions, of parasitism and predation; pursuing self-interest at the expense of others and the common good.
For thousands of years, Man has been unable to transform himself into something other than a mere animal; driven by powerful impulses: the need for Food (Individual Survival) and Reproduction (Species Survival)!
Thomas Malthus: "...Malthus argued that an exponentially growing population will self-correct through war, famine, and disease...."...the COVID_19 Pandemic.
If expanding populations are not reversed; the mere animal nature of Man will result in the mutual destruction of Human Society!!
