COVID is a symptom of our overpopulation.  Lots of bio models behave the same way.  Once exponential growth reaches a certain point, the organism dies off.  This is just the first one of these.  There'll be more.

True enough. I see global overpopulation as an issue similar to global warming which will someday become an central issue for a crisis or an awakening. Not yet, though. Should fusion become real and countries like India, China and Russia start installing scrubbers on the stacks remaining, global overpopulation is apt to make it to the front burner.
