Are we becoming such a blight on the face of the planet that mother nature is pushing back by way of an increasing number of existential viral threats?
Yeah, nahh. ‘Nature’ simply is. It doesn’t push back, although there are always consequences good or bad to everything we do. Too many people in too crowded situations with poor heath and education can facilitate outbreaks of diseases or stupidity.
I guess if we throw in the number of bacterial infections that are now highly antibiotic resistant then things are getting a little more hostile.
Did you see they found a record-breaking ‘large’ bacteria, as big as an eyelash! It has some differences from regular bacteria apart from size but it’s still a single cell organism living in a swamp in Guatemala.
Perhaps we've exceeded a critical population level or the effects of our abuse of the environment has simply reached a tipping point and the planet has decided to take action.
The planet doesn’t care, again it simply is. Be it on our own heads if we stuff it up.
Or maybe I anthropomorphise too much.
Yeah, right!
