Did anyone see the Chinese man looking after his wife at home? Hazmat suit for all contact with her room where she was confined. Room disinfected daily. Double bagged everything coming out of her room. After 9 days she still had to go into hospital. Not sure what happened in the end.
It’s Malthusian nonsense rejected over a hundred years ago that just gets circulated back up every so often, like it’s new. People have complained that here are “just too many people” for at least two thousand years when there was hardly anyone alive by comparison. .
I suppose this old man is talking out of his backside then is he? Did anyone watch that Chris Packham programme. Mind you it was the BBC so maybe not true. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p080p9y1
Their concerns about further population growth are not the same thing as the world being overpopulated.
Thanks for that link @Dovefromabove - interesting. Mainly common sense of course but I still think a bit of fresh air and exercise away from other people would be beneficial. Obviously if you are living in a big town or city, that might be more difficult but even so, in your own garden (if you have one) should be okay. If you are sharing a house with another person(s) I rather think the damage is already done, as one is infectious before showing any symptons I believe.
As for washing your hands after every cough or sneeze, that's just not doable, your hands would get raw very quickly.
I suppose what the rest of us will rely on is everyone doing as instructed by the experts, rather than thinking ‘I know better’. Although in this era when the disregard of experts is commonplace, that puts most of us in danger 🙄
The chap on the radio did recommend using hand lotion after hand washing ... although I think if people would rather avoid getting sore hands than guard against spreading Covid 19 there really is no help for humanity and folk really don’t deserve to be saved. 🤯😭🤬

@Tin pot, can you explain why you don't believe the world is not over populated?
Sure, but it only makes sense to do that if people explain why they think it is.
Overpopulated means different things to different people. Mostly people just want a simple explanation, and they can’t really imagine billions of people, so saying the world is overpopulated is an easy answer.

In the UK, you are currently still more likely to die from flu.
Globally, it could prove to be worse. Your link is about projections, not certainty or actuality.
