This might be hard to grasp for some people but it's likely without all the pandemics in Europe and around the world humans would have already gone extinct maybe 2000 years ago already from overpopulation.
Think about this for a moment. A pandemic or plague can kill off (potentially) up to 95% of the population in any one city or area at a time. Luckily, coronavirus only has a 2% kill rate in places like the U.S. and Europe (even though some places it could be 25% or more because people aren't educated enough in how to deal with this thing in many areas or people panic out of ignorance and kill people who are sick out of a need for self preservation or kill people who they think may be sick or might get sick out of a perverse misplaced ignorant paranoia during a pandemic.
But, if you stand back and let go of any paranoias you might have then if you logically look at this you can see how depopulation without warfare helps prevent human extinction in a completely overpopulated world.
Before coronavirus we still were not feeding everyone on earth and after coronavirus this only makes things 100 times worse in trying to feed everyone. So, theoretically even if only 20 million or 50 million people actually die from this thing over the next 5 to 10 years here on earth you also have to expect to lose at least 200 million to 300 million people to starvation directly because of the damage to economies that coronavirus brings.
So, even if the direct cost in lives is 20 to 50 million people or more over the next 2 to 5 to 10 years the indirect cost will be 200 million to 300 million per year starving to death from the problems associated with coronavirus and sheltering in place instead of traveling and working.
So, imagine if you are losing 300 million a year to starvation. In 10 years time you have to add a zero to that which makes it 3 billion people lost in 10 years.
It's true this ONLY would be true if there is no vaccine that actually works. But, who is going to pay for the vaccine to get to all the people on earth? And are you going to force everyone to get a shot?
If so, some people are going to try to shoot you if you do in every country on earth.
So, eradicating coronavirus likely is not possible for this reason so it will be an ongoing event and likely we will have to get booster shots every year for coronavirus. And you aren't going to be able to make everyone get these either. And who would pay for that too?
