You seriously think that humans in any other era had the ability to actually bring the whole planet to the brink of extinction by their own hand?
Man is responsible for the extinction of plenty of species. Man hunts for fun. Man wages wars. Man burns things down. This has always been the case.
Sure, today's industry made it "easier" to do so, but again: nothing new under the sun.
Health issues......Mutated viruses and bacteria that were generally the product of humans trying to defeat them with drugs, like anti-biotcs, (which became the panacea for all ills with doctors prescribing them willy nilly) forcing these pathogens to adapt and survive, bigger and stronger than ever so that Superbugs are now lurking in hospitals putting surgical patients and others at risk. Hospitals are now dangerous places.
Viruses are a natural phenomenon and not man's fault.
Viruses mutate all the time. It's called evolution. Drugs don't cause viruses to mutate. Viruses mutate by default - just like all genetic based things that reproduce.
Natural selection is always at work. Drugs are just another natural selection pressure in context of the germs. It's always only a matter of time till species overcome such obstacles. Either that or extinction, if and when nature "finds" no solution in time.
Germs are far older then humans.
Previous pandemics were often the result of overcrowding, lack of hygiene and poor nutrition.
There sure are parameters that have big influence on how a desease progresses and how fast it spreads.
But let's not pretend as if this is a "human" problem. Other animal species can and are hit as well by epidemics.
Obviously, in social species - where there is much social interaction and contact - desease can spread more easily.
Again, this is not "man's" fault. This is how nature works.
Today, we also have overcrowding as people are forced to live in polluted cities with fast food, (a diet of choice for many or the only affordable food for others) which is deficient in essential nutrients so that weakened immune systems are no match for something like the current pandemic
Please share your evidence that fast food is a factor in the current pandemic.
Not a single virologist seems to be aware of this.
Sounds like you are making it up on the spot.
Those most at risk are those who are older or immuno-compromised.....those who consume the most Pharma drugs.
Another bit of extremely false information.
Those most at risk are those who have advanced age AND who have underlying conditions. Like astma, high blood pressure, cancer, diabetis, etc...
It has nothing to do with drugs.
You might want to inform yourself.
Strong immune systems are the only way to combat viruses.
That's a straight up falsehood.
Obviously a strong immune system is going to help you more then a weak one.
But to pretend that having a strong immune system means that covid19 will be harmless, is a blatant falsehood. Plenty of strong, young, healthy and sportive people with NO underlying health issues are currently in intensive care fighting for their life.
Again, you might want to inform yourself.
Yes, there are the known risk groups, as mentioned above.
That in no way implies that other people are therefor safe by definition. They are not!
Today, our lifestyle in the west contributes to weakened immune systems so that the death rate continues to climb.
The risk groups haven't got anything to do with lifestyle and everything with advanced age and typical advanced age health issues.
Again, you might want to inform yourself.
So destroying the earth includes destroying life. A dead planet benefits no one.
Spreading misinformation benefits no one either
