2020: The Human Race's Life in Captivity

Here on earth we learned a relatively new lesson (at least for us living on earth now).  Because most pandemics and plagues were more isolated than this one was. For example, there were pandemics and plagues that hit the Middle East and Europe but did not hit Asia simply because boats didn't travel there much.

But, outside of the Spanish Flu of 1918 that killed a minimum of 50 million people then on earth and killed more U.S. soldiers than died in World War I by the way too I'm not sure how many plagues or pandemics ever went worldwide that I know of in history.

But, when you started to have Steamships and planes traveling all over the earth it is obvious that when this started to happen you were going to have worldwide plagues that were air born.

But, I do understand why NO ONE ever talked to me about the 1918 Spanish Flu because it is just so awful that no one EVER wanted to talk about it ever again on earth having survived it.

My father was born in 1916 so the Spanish Flu hit when he was 2 years old and living in Arizona. I wondered often why they lived so remote in Arizona where he was born in Morenci at the copper mines there while my Grandfather wired up the living quarters for the copper miners since he was an Electrical contractor. Also, my Dad's older brother had a pet either coyote or Fox that got loose and bit my Dad when he was 2 around where his liver is. The doctor later said if the animal had bit any deeper near his liver he would have died. Bob his older brother got his leg bit up a lot trying to get the animal off of his brother Fred (I'm named after my Dad) so I was always Fred Jr. Also, the family dog also got bit some by the animal trying to save Dad too. Morenci was then out in the middle of nowhere at that time. My Dad took me there when I was 8 in 1956 to see where he was born along with my Mom.

But still, no one, not Grandparents aunts or uncles who lived through the Spanish Flu ever talked about it even though they talked about World War I and World war II a lot. I think war makes more sense because at least then you can blame someone. But, who can you blame for a pandemic? God? That's about it.

However, nature abhors an imbalance and so humans created the imbalance and now we have to live with the results.

The main cause of Covi-19 is human overpopulation and human habits and actions here on earth the last 15,000 to 25,000 years.

I'm thinking that there will either be more pandemics to come this century and the next, Or there will just be many ongoing variations of this one we are going to have to try to survive worldwide so likely human populations will be greatly reduced either way by pandemics and global Climate change this century and the next.

So, life as a human being might stay somewhat different than we were used to in the 20th century at least ongoing now.
