Large pandemics and epidemics happen only because a group of animals have hit a peak point in overpopulation. Disease does not spread quickly unless the animal or group of animals reaches a point where they may need the epidemic to lower the population and only allow the strong and resilient to survive. If overpopulation goes past a peak point, that species can wipe out the whole ecosystem in which they live in and die off in larger amount than the pandemic/epidemic would have done.
Although tragic, having a worldwide pandemic may actually help humankind in the very long run. There is increasing overpopulation in the world. Look at the Black Plague, only the strong and resilient survived, and only now are we finding out that some Blck Plague survivors are resistant to HIV (their T-cells are resistent to attack), the Viral cousin of the Black Plague bacteria. Not only that but the Renaissance right after the Middle Ages and plague was a great time in human kind development, and had only the strongest, smartest people in its midst.
Why do you think land and housing is such a large moneymaking industry right now, even though financial consultants say that the bubble will burst. It is because of with a growing population, land becomes more a a commodity. Look at Tokyo, land there is terribly expensive. So even financially speaking, disease, global disaster, or a cosmological event are the only things that would be able to decrease an overpopulated species that has no real predators (and disease is the only biological form of doing it <an equalizer>).
What do you think? No politics here, I just want to know.
