Some thoughts on Covid19

Can humans beat nature? This virus thing (or something equivalent) happens with every species on earth. So why would humans be any different? If you believe in Darwinism you must believe that what is happening in the world today is normal and needed to keep the future population strong and thriving. It’s a hard pill to swallow when it’s YOUR family, friends etc that are affected but could it be true? Jack had a brother-in-law that passed away last year and he misses talking to him. He would say about this virus is that … sometimes you just have to thin the herd to save the herd. That is very sad but could it be true?
Trump has called this a war and in one way it is a war with nature. Humans can fight back with knowledge, technology and cooperation with our fellow humans but can humans BEAT nature? Jack is thinking we can only minimize the casualties of this war. There have been many pandemics over the centuries and this is just another battle in the fight to defeat nature. Humans will win battles but Jack thinks that nature will always win the war.
What Jack knows for sure is if the world cannot keep food distribution going things will fall apart very quick. You will see the true nature of humans and it will become survival of the fittest! But Jack is optimistic that humanity will come together and survive this in the end. Nature would have simply thinned the herd.
Exit question … Could Artificial intelligence defeat a virus like this? Or would the machines fall to the same fate as humans?
