I recomend watching this. Very well done.
You can find it on YouTube.
Search - "Contagion - Trailer, Warner Bros. Entertainment"
Great movie, but I would suggest that you are comparing apples and oranges.
To imply the coronavirus19 is similar is alarmist and scaremongering.
Yes it's knocking over a few people, and whilst not wishing to be flippant, most of those that die having contracted the virus, are elderly/sick or compromised.
In reality this is nothing more than nature thinning the herd, trimming the bits that were likely to be costly and time consuming to look after, it sounds callous, not intending to be, but it is the current reality.
Once through the other side, we should have a healthier overall population. Births will still no doubt exceed virus deaths, whilst we happily over-populate and pollute our planet. This is nothing more than a little streamlining.
