Mother Earth and planned natural selection?

 If you study how ecological balance works it isn't at all about fairness of what species die when. It's about balance mostly.

When there are too many of any one species often what they eat dies out and then large amounts of them die until there is enough to eat left for some of them. So, starvation is one way species stay in balance.

Another way species die out or stay in balance is some species dies out and then the remaining species become vulnerable because the remaining species or a single species carries a disease that the one that died out didn't. This then takes out several other species.

By the way coronavirus isn't the only thing going on like this on earth. 

First of all, you have global Climate change that is extincting plants and animals (including humans) all over the planet. When you have a tornado or hurricane it isn't just people dying, it's animals and plants dying and some going extinct too. So, likely for every human that dies in a hurricane or tornado you have to consider the thousands to millions of plants and animals and insects that are dying in each event too.

Even when a human being inhales or exhales 25,000 to 50,000 organisms die in a human being every time we even take a breath. So, deaths of organisms are always more about balance than fairness. When we look at natural selection it is not about fairness at all. Fairness is only a human construct that likely arose from standing in lines rather than all killing each other while we waited to use the bathroom or were waiting for our turn at getting some food other other things we needed.

So, fairness is NOT a part of natural selection here on earth. This might be important to consider while we all are dealing with variants of Coronavirus however long it is around here on earth.

And human overpopulation is the main cause of global Climate change in the first place. So, what happens next is not about fairness to human beings or any animals or plants on earth at all. It is about Balance more than anything else because that's how ecosystems actually work.
