It is necessary to relativize. We are still far, very far, very very far even from the cholera epidemics of the past (still in France in the 19th century, 143 dead), plague (000/1 of the European population killed in the 3th century), or Spanish flu (14 million deaths in Europe alone).
We just forgot that it could happen.
While we are serine every day (except since the coronavirus it will have had at least that good) an apocalyptic risk linked to warming or other pollution of which we accuse man, we have completely forgotten, and we have even been conditioned to forget, that the greatest threat to man has always been nature.
If man comes from it, the natural principle is still "walk or die". This is true for viruses, it is true for humans who compete with viruses, the least adapted do not survive, nature operates its selection.
Only human culture can counteract the blind functioning of nature, through its conscience, morals, science and technology.
Culture is opposed to nature, and if it is not a question of sabotaging the second since our life depends on it anyway, it is a duty of humanity, for it and future generations, to control the nature and keep in mind that it can kill our species in one way or another, at any time, with the same ease that it made the dinosaurs disappear, and with much more ease than the man, wrongly accused of being danger.
